About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA20X10
The AirTAC B01-SDA20X10 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA20X10, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers 157.1 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
The short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, fitting neatly into tight machine footprints. It features a hard-anodized 20 mm bore, an 8 mm piston rod, and M5x0.8 ports. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, which decelerates the stroke end but is not a lock or brake.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA20X10 Is Used
PCB Edge Guiding
Provides precise 10 mm lateral shifting of printed circuit boards on a pick-and-place conveyor without consuming valuable Z-axis height.
Film Seal Jaw Actuation
Drives the short 10 mm stroke of a thermal sealing jaw on a vertical form-fill-seal machine, applying 157.1 N to crimp packaging film.
Small Parts Ejection
Pushes lightweight plastic molded components out of an injection mold cavity, utilizing the compact riveted body to fit within tight tooling.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA20X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore, stepping down to the SDA16 yields 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N. This B01-SDA20X10 generates a safe working load of roughly 94 N (about 60 percent of its 157.1 N output) and can vertically lift approximately 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 20 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female M4x0.7 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; holding a load requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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-SDA20X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this double-acting cylinder provides 157.1 N push and 131.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 219.9 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum push is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply designates an application-specific (customer-specified) grouping of the standard SDA20X10, with no mechanical changes to the bore, seals, or force. This specific SKU lacks the S option, so it has no piston magnet and cannot accept a reed or electronic switch. End stopping is handled by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
