About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X15SB
The AirTAC B01-SDA32X15SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA32X15SB, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model while grouping specific builds into a dedicated line. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
This unit features a 32 mm bore, a 12 mm piston rod, and a 15 mm stroke. The riveted body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders, saving valuable machine footprint. It includes a built-in piston magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and utilizes a male M10x1.25 rod thread for direct load coupling. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston, rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X15SB Is Used
PCB Edge Guiding
Applies 402.1 N of precise lateral force to align circuit boards on an SMT pick-and-place conveyor prior to component mounting.
Carton Flap Folding
Utilizes the short 15 mm stroke and male M10x1.25 rod to tuck minor flaps on packaging lines where axial mounting space is severely restricted.
Pneumatic Ejector Gate
Pushes small machined aluminum parts out of a CNC fixture, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the end-stop impact at cycle completion.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X15SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. This B01-SDA32X15SB configuration offers a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60% of its 402.1 N capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, the -S magnet for sensing, and the -B male M10x1.25 rod thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or a valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not function as a lock. To hold a load securely without live pressure, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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-SDA32X15SB FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 563 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA32X15SB; mechanically, the bore, stroke, and seals remain identical. Regarding end-of-stroke damping, it does not use an adjustable air cushion. Instead, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
