About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X15
The AirTAC B01-SDA25X15 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA25X15, meaning it shares the exact same mechanical architecture without any physical spec changes. It delivers a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa.
A short riveted body joins the barrel, rear cover, piston and rod to minimize axial mounting depth where a round-body unit will not fit. The bore is hard-anodized, and deceleration at the stroke ends relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host magnetic switches; the -S option is required for reed or electronic switch sensing.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X15 Is Used
PCB Edge Guiding
Applies 245.4 N of lateral pressure to align printed circuit boards within a pick-and-place machine, leveraging the 10 mm rod and minimal axial footprint to fit tight electronics assembly cells.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives a short 15 mm stroke to tuck minor flaps on corrugated cartons passing through a high-speed packaging line, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the impact at 30-500 mm/s.
Sorter Diverter Gate
Pivots a lightweight routing gate to direct parcels on a logistics conveyor, where the compact riveted body saves depth and the 206.2 N retract force securely pulls the gate clear.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore, step down to the SDA20 which provides 157.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA32 which yields 402.1 N at the same pressure. For this 245.4 N output, a safe working load is roughly 147 N (about 60 percent of capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 15 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female M5x0.8 rod-end thread, and the absence of a magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a position.
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-SDA25X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 343.6 N. The theoretical maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa.
The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA25X15, mechanically identical to the base model. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches. Deceleration is handled solely by a fixed NBR bumper, which is not an adjustable cushion or a locking brake.
