The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ80X55-20B 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 35 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ80X55-20B is a double-acting compact cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M20x1.5) screw, you can dial the extend stroke down by up to 20 mm directly on the machine, yielding a usable forward range of 35-55 mm without swapping shims or parts. Because the adjuster sets the mechanical stop rather than the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, delivering 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This 80 mm bore unit utilizes a short riveted body to minimize axial mounting depth in tight machinery layouts. The piston rod is 25 mm thick and features a male M22x1.5 thread end. End-of-travel 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 host reed or electronic switches; the -S variant is required for position sensing.

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 35-55 mm extend stop to set precise contact depth on bearing press fits, using the full 2513.3 N push force without changing top tooling plates.
Raise components up to 128.1 kg safely; adjust the forward stop in 20 mm of travel to accommodate varying part heights while maintaining a 2:1 safety margin.
Reposition a package diverting gate on the fly by turning the R M20x1.5 screw, adapting the actuator length for different carton sizes without remounting hardware.
When sizing this model, compare its 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to SDAJ63 yields 1558.6 N, while stepping up to SDAJ100 provides 3927 N. Based on the 2513.3 N output, the safe working load is approximately 1508 N (about 60 percent of capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. This makes the 80 mm bore ideal for medium-heavy pressing and lifting where a 63 mm falls short.
Choose the SDAJ80X55-20B if your fixture requires frequent on-machine stroke tuning between 35 and 55 mm during changeovers. The PT3/8 port and male M22x1.5 rod thread are fixed by the bore and B option. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss or valve centering; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of travel. For suspended or vertical loads that must not drift, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 80 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 3518.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The external R (M20x1.5) screw mechanically shortens the extend end-position by up to 20 mm, giving a usable range of 35-55 mm. It does not alter force or lock mid-stroke; the cylinder cannot hold a load without live air pressure.
