The AirTAC Airtac SDAJ80~100 Adjustable Super Slim Cylinder SDAJ80X55-50SB 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 5 to 55 mm on the machine — no shims, no part change.
The AirTAC SDAJ80X55-50SB is a compact double-acting single-rod cylinder featuring an external adjustable extend stop. By turning the R (M20x1.5) screw, you can dial the extend position anywhere between 5 and 55 mm directly on your machine, avoiding shims or part swaps. Because the adjuster sets the mechanical stop rather than the piston area, output force remains identical to a standard SDA of this bore, yielding about 2513.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
This variant includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for AirTAC reed or electronic switches and a male-thread piston rod (-B, M22x1.5). Its short riveted body saves valuable axial mounting depth where larger 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. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

The adjustment screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 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 5-55 mm extend stop to trial-fit heavy bearings, using the 2513.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa to seat components precisely without over-travel.
Adjust the male M22x1.5 rod extension on the fly to accommodate different package sizes on a sorting line, ensuring positive contact during changeovers.
Set precise mechanical lift limits for a 128.1 kg vertical load, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the end shock at each cycle.
When sizing this unit, evaluate both neighboring bores: stepping down to the SDAJ63 provides 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDAJ100 delivers 3927 N. This 80 mm bore generates 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa, translating to a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60 percent of capacity) or a vertical lift of approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Choose this specific model if your fixture requires frequent on-site stroke tuning during changeovers.
Confirm the 80 mm bore, 55 mm maximum stroke, 50 mm adjustment window, and PT3/8 air port match your pneumatic supply. The -S code enables position sensing via reed or solid-state switches, while the -B code specifies the male M22x1.5 rod end. Remember that a plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss or valve centering; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end. For load holding without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 80 mm bore cylinder features a PT3/8 air port and delivers 2513.3 N push / 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.6 N push / 3175 N pull at 0.7 MPa, and a theoretical maximum of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Turning the M20x1.5 adjuster screw shortens the extend stroke by up to 50 mm, allowing on-machine positioning between 5 and 55 mm. The -S option adds a piston magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
