About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA20X60S
The AirTAC B01-SDA20X60S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA20X60S, 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.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, making it ideal for tight machine footprints. The bore is hard-anodized, and because this code includes the S option, it features a built-in piston magnet for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. Deceleration at stroke ends is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA20X60S Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Routes printed circuit boards out of larger panels. The 60 mm stroke and 157.1 N push force provide the precise linear extension needed to actuate the cutting head gate without consuming excessive floor space.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds minor flaps on small product cartons before tape sealing. The compact riveted body fits neatly between conveyor guide rails, while the 8 mm rod and female M4x0.7 thread securely link to the folding arm.
Lab Dispense Valve Actuation
Opens and closes precision fluid dispense valves for reagent bottling. The integrated magnet works with electronic switches to confirm valve seat position, ensuring accurate cycle counts at operating speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA20X60S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, step down to the SDA16 which provides 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA25 which yields 245.4 N at the same pressure. This 20 mm bore generates a safe working load of roughly 94 N (about 60 percent of its 157.1 N capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near the end of travel and does not function as a locking brake; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must be held. To order, confirm the 20 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, built-in S magnet, and female M4x0.7 rod thread.
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-SDA20X60S FAQ
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 157.1 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 60 mm stroke falls well within the 100 mm maximum standard stroke limit for this bore size.
The B01- prefix simply denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) grouping of the standard SDA20X60S, with no mechanical changes to the bore, seals, or force. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact; it is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed cycling, you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
