The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC B01-SDA25X10 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA25X10, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, making it ideal for tight machine footprints. It features a hard-anodized bore and a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and cannot accept magnetic switches, while the rod end utilizes a female M5x0.8 thread.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SSA (single-acting push), STA (single-acting pull), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Provides precise 10mm lateral adjustments on conveyor lines handling delicate printed circuit boards without overwhelming the assembly.
Actuates small sealing jaws in vertical form-fill-seal equipment where minimal axial length prevents frame interference.
Pushes lightweight molded plastic parts out of injection molds quickly within a 30-500 mm/s speed range.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your force needs carefully. Stepping down to the SDA20 provides 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA32 yields 402.1 N at the same pressure. For this 25mm bore, the safe working load is approximately 147 N (about 60% of the 245.4 N figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 12.5 kg with a 2:1 margin. To order, confirm the 10mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod thread, and no magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the application requires position holding.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA25X10, sharing identical mechanical specifications. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact; for high-speed operations, you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
