The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ80X15-20 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT cylinder (Ø80mm bore) whose extend end-position is set by an external M20×1.5 adjustment screw. You can dial the stroke anywhere from 0 to 15 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ80X15-20 is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. An M20x1.5 adjuster screw lets you dial the extend position down to 0-15 mm directly on the machine without changing parts. Because the mechanism sets the mechanical stop rather than altering the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, delivering 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
The short riveted body saves valuable axial mounting depth where round-body or profile cylinders cannot fit. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which absorbs shock but is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support reed or electronic switches without upgrading to the -S variant.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 20 mm. Force is unchanged from a standard SDA of the same bore. Specifications follow the official AirTAC SDAJ datasheet.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 kgf | |
Force matches a standard SDA of the same bore; the adjuster only sets the stop position, not the area. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction.

Dial the extend stop from 0 to 15 mm to clamp heavy parts precisely without over-travel, leveraging the 2513.3 N push force for rigid holding.
Set exact lift heights in tight axial spaces where footprint matters, safely managing loads up to 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Quickly tune the extend position on the machine during product changeovers, avoiding part swaps while handling the high kinetic energy of an 80 mm bore.
When sizing this unit, consider the SDAJ63 which offers 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDAJ100 providing 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. This 80 mm bore generates 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, yielding a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60 percent of capacity) and a vertical lift capability near 128.1 kg with a 2:1 margin.
Operators requiring frequent changeover or trial positioning benefit most from the on-site stroke tuning. Remember that a plain SDAJ does not hold position upon air loss or valve centering; the piston drifts and the bumper only decelerates near the end. For secure load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your bore, 15 mm stroke, 20 mm window, PT3/8 port, female rod thread, and lack of magnet for this configuration.
Quick checklist
This 80 mm bore cylinder delivers 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.6 N push and 3175 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The M20x1.5 adjuster screw shortens the extend stop by up to 20 mm, allowing a usable extend range of 0-15 mm. It sets the mechanical stop position without changing the force, and it is not a mid-stroke lock.
