About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X15
The AirTAC B01-SDA32X15 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading "B01-" prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA32X15, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Its short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth where a round-body unit will not fit. The bore is hard-anodized, and deceleration relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host magnetic switches without upgrading to the -S option.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X15 Is Used
PCB Edge Clamping
Secures printed circuit boards during automated soldering or inspection, utilizing the 15mm stroke to position a 12mm rod without consuming excessive deck space.
Carton Flap Folding
Actuates short-throw folding arms on packaging lines, where the 402.1 N push force easily tucks flaps prior to sealing without overstressing the cardboard.
Press Fit Pins
Drives small dowel pins into aluminum extrusions on assembly fixtures, providing consistent placement force while keeping the overall machine footprint shallow.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. This B01-SDA32X15 configuration features a 15mm stroke, a PT1/8 port, a 12mm rod, and a female M6x1.0 rod-end thread. Based on the 402.1 N push figure, a safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load. To hold a vertical position securely, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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-SDA32X15 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) line of the standard SDA32X15, with no mechanical changes to the specs. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb end-stop shock; it is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed cycles, add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
