The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X25 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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-SDA32X25 is a double-acting, single-rod compact air cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. The leading "B01-" prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA32X25, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers a robust 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a hard-anodized bore and a two-way piston seal for reliable pneumatic performance.
Designed to minimize axial mounting depth, the short riveted body easily fits into tight machine footprints where round-body or profile cylinders cannot. The 12 mm piston rod utilizes an M6x1.0 female rod-end thread, and the unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot support magnetic sensing; adding the -S variant enables reed or electronic switches.

Secures aluminum engine blocks during machining operations, providing consistent 402.1 N clamping force without extending the machine tool envelope.
Drives the mechanical arms that tuck minor flaps on high-speed packaging lines, where the short 25 mm stroke and fixed NBR bumper ensure rapid cycling.
Actuates routing gates to push selected parcels onto secondary chutes, benefiting from the compact riveted body to fit within tight conveyor framework.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA25 yields 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA40 provides 628.3 N. For the B01-SDA32X25, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your ordering essentials match your requirements: 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and no magnet. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or valve centring—the piston drifts and the bumper only decelerates near stroke end, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for position holding.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push and 483.8 N pull at 0.7 MPa. 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 supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) line of the base SDA32X25, sharing identical specifications. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper at each end absorbs the end stop. For high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
