The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA25X30B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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-SDA25X30B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA25X30B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base unit. It generates 245.4 N of push force and 206.2 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short riveted body minimizes axial mounting footprint, fitting easily where round-body or profile cylinders cannot.
This specific SKU features a male M8x1.25 piston rod thread for straightforward load coupling, paired with a 10 mm rod diameter. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host reed or electronic switches.

Actuates the cutting head feed on an electronics depaneling machine, utilizing the 30 mm stroke and male M8x1.25 rod end to push the spindle precisely through assembled circuit boards.
Folds minor corrugated box flaps on a continuous packaging line, where the 245.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa easily overcomes cardboard resistance without requiring excessive axial depth.
Pushes plastic beverage containers into parallel sorting lanes on a high-speed conveyor, benefiting from the compact riveted body to fit within tight stainless steel machine guarding.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA20, which provides 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA32, which yields 402.1 N at the same pressure. Based on the 245.4 N push figure, the safe working load is approximately 147 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, and the male M8x1.25 rod thread. Note that a plain actuator does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end rather than locking it. For suspended loads, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 245.4 N push and 206.2 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.6 N push and 288.6 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, handles a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) line of the base SDA25X30B, sharing identical physical specifications. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper absorbs impact at the stroke ends. For high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
