About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA16X10
The AirTAC B01-SDA16X10 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA16X10, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers a push force of 100.5 N and a pull force of 86.4 N at 0.5 MPa.
The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders, making it ideal for tight machine footprints. It features a hard-anodized 16 mm bore, an M5x0.8 port, and a 6 mm piston rod. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing. End-stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the piston near stroke end but is not an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA16X10 Is Used
PCB Edge Guide Adjustment
Provides 10 mm of precise lateral pushing on a conveyor edge guide to align printed circuit boards during pick-and-place assembly without taking up excessive frame width.
Small Carton Flap Tucking
Cycles quickly at 30-500 mm/s to tuck minor flaps on small pharmaceutical cartons before the sealing station, fitting neatly between narrow machine guard rails.
Lab Sampler Diversion
Actuates a 10 mm stroke to deflect a fluid sample tube into a secondary testing vial rack, offering reliable actuation in compact laboratory diagnostic equipment.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA16X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 16 mm bore, step down to the SDA12 for 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA20 for 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. The computed safe working load for this model is approximately 60 N (about 60% of the 100.5 N figure), with a vertical lift capacity of roughly 5.1 kg using a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female M3x0.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for position holding.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short-body depth vs. a round-body cylinder
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
- ✓ Side load — avoid on a compact rod
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Very long strokes are unsuitable for the compact body.
- check Front/rear covers are riveted — do not dismantle.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA16X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 100.5 N and the pull force is 86.4 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 140.7 N and the pull force is 121 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 21 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) line of the standard SDA16X10; mechanically, every spec matches the base cylinder exactly. It does not have an adjustable air cushion. Instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
