The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X10S 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-SDA25X10S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA25X10S, retaining exact mechanical parity with the base model. Its short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth where a round-body unit would not fit.
This 25 mm bore unit features a 10 mm stroke and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. End stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning operators should slow the approach or add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. The M5x0.8 port and Ø10 mm rod provide robust coupling for precise short-travel tasks.

Provides precise 10 mm lateral positioning of printed circuit boards during conveyor transfer without extending the machine footprint.
Delivers 245.4 N of push to swiftly fold small corrugated carton flaps prior to tape sealing, fitting neatly into tight packaging headspace.
Acts as a compact end-stop in feed lines, accurately halting thin sheet metal blanks using the integrated magnet for position confirmation.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. 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. At 245.4 N, this 25 mm bore achieves a safe working load of roughly 147 N (about 60 percent capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your sequence must hold a load without live pressure, note that the piston will drift on air loss; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod thread, and the required -S magnet.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.6 N push 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 runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA25X10S; it is mechanically identical to the base model. It does not have adjustable air cushions. Instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not a lock or brake. For high-speed cycling, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
