About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X15B
The AirTAC B01-SDA25X15B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base SDA25X15B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. It delivers a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth, making it highly effective for machinery where a standard round-body cylinder would not fit.
This specific SKU includes a male M8x1.25 piston rod thread for direct load coupling and uses an M5x0.8 air port. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X15B Is Used
PCB Edge Guiding
Ideal for electronics assembly lines where the short 15 mm stroke and 245.4 N force precisely side-guide printed circuit boards into testing fixtures without exceeding footprint limits.
Small Carton Flap Folding
Provides the exact axial push needed on packaging machines to fold small corrugated carton flaps, utilizing the male M8x1.25 rod end for direct mechanical coupling to the folding arm.
Package Sorting Diverter
Acts as a compact diverter gate on conveyor systems; the short riveted body saves axial space while the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the impact of the 15 mm stroke end stop.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X15B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements against its 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the smaller SDA20 bore provides 157.1 N at the same pressure. For heavier loads, stepping up to the SDA32 yields 402.1 N. A safe working load for this 25 mm bore is approximately 147 N (about 60 percent of its 0.5 MPa rating), which translates to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Remember that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. If your application requires a held load without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M8x1.25 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
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-SDA25X15B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245.4 N and the pull force is 206.2 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343.6 N and the pull force is 288.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA25X15B, with no mechanical changes to the bore, stroke, or force. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston near the stroke end.
