The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ80X55-40 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 15 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ80X55-40 is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder built for applications requiring a tuned extend endpoint. An external M20x1.5 adjuster screw lets you dial the forward stop down by up to 40 mm, yielding a usable extension range of 15 to 55 mm directly on the machine without swapping shims or parts. Retract remains a full stroke, and the output equals a standard SDA of this bore, delivering about 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa.
This 80 mm bore unit features a short riveted body that saves valuable axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder will not fit. End-of-travel deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches; choose an -S variant if position sensing is required.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 40 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 M20x1.5 screw to set a precise 25 mm press depth for inserting bearings, leveraging the 2513.3 N push force without changing mounting hardware.
Lift payloads up to 128.1 kg safely with a 2:1 margin, adjusting the extend endpoint between 15 and 55 mm to accommodate varying package heights on the fly.
Fit the short riveted body into tight machine cells to provide 2513.3 N of forming pressure, tweaking the stop position during product changeovers directly at the fixture.
When sizing this model, compare its 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: an SDAJ63 provides 1558.6 N, while an SDAJ100 delivers 3927 N. Based on the 0.5 MPa figure, a safe working load is roughly 1508 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose the 80 mm bore if your payload sits in that sweet spot.
This cylinder is ideal for setups needing frequent on-machine stroke tuning or changeovers. Confirm your parameters: 80 mm bore, 55 mm maximum stroke, 40 mm adjust window, PT3/8 port, female rod-end thread, and no magnet. A plain SDAJ does not hold position or load when air is lost or the valve is centred; the bumper only decelerates near the end. For load holding without live pressure, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 80 mm bore double-acting 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 of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, proof pressure is 1.5 MPa, and speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
Turning the external M20x1.5 screw mechanically shortens the extend stop, giving a usable forward range of 15 to 55 mm without altering the 2513.3 N force. This specific SKU has no piston magnet and cannot take a switch; you must select an -S option to use AirTAC reed or electronic sensors.
