The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X10B 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-SDA25X10B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder delivering 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA25X10B, retaining identical mechanical specifications while grouping specialized builds into a dedicated line.
This model features a 10 mm stroke and an M8x1.25 male piston rod thread for secure load coupling. Its riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth where standard round-body units cannot fit. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, so high-speed approaches may require external shock absorption.

Secures circuit boards during routing with 245.4 N of extend force, utilizing the 10 mm stroke to engage quickly within tight routing machinery envelopes.
Drives short-throw flap folders on packaging lines where the compact riveted body minimizes axial intrusion into congested conveyor framing.
Applies 343.6 N of push at 0.7 MPa for small part indenting or pin insertion, relying on the M8 male rod for rigid tooling attachment.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the SDA20 yields 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA32 provides 402.1 N. This 25 mm bore generates a safe working load of roughly 147 N (about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating), translating to a 12.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, and the male M8 rod thread. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet; adding an -S variant enables reed or electronic switches. Because a standard cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost, holding a suspended load requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder provides 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 is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and uses an M5x0.8 port.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA25X10B; it is mechanically identical to the base model. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not a locking mechanism.
