The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X15B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, PT1/8 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-SDA32X15B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The leading "B01-" prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant, mechanically identical to the standard SDA32X15B. It delivers 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
This unit features a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread for secure load coupling and a PT1/8 port. Its riveted body design minimizes axial mounting depth, making it highly effective for tight machinery footprints. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SSA (single-acting push), STA (single-acting pull), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Secures printed circuit board panels during routing operations where the 15 mm stroke and 402.1 N force provide firm holding without flexing the substrate.
Actuates short-throw folding arms on packaging lines to tuck end flaps prior to sealing, fitting neatly into compact machine frames.
Pushes machined sensor housings out of an CNC fixture, using the male M10x1.25 rod end to attach a custom non-marring contact pad.
For sizing, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. Based on the 402.1 N push figure, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of about 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that this plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; holding a load requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N and the pull force is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, which is the maximum operating pressure.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) line that is mechanically identical to the base SDA32X15B. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed cycling, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
