About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X40
The AirTAC B01-SDA32X40 is a double-acting, single-rod compact air cylinder engineered to deliver 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA32X40, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model while serving specific industry builds. Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint.
This 32 mm bore unit features a hard-anodized inner wall and relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end, rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, it utilizes a PT1/8 port and a 12 mm piston rod. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic position sensing without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X40 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides compact ejection force for plastic injection molds where axial space behind the plate is severely restricted.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives the mechanical flap folders on automated packaging lines, fitting neatly into tight conveyor side-frames.
PCB Alignment Jigs
Pushes edge guides to square electronic circuit boards prior to pick-and-place assembly using precise 402.1 N force.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA25, which provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40, which yields 628.3 N at the same pressure. For the B01-SDA32X40, a 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. To finalize your order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod-end thread (M6x1.0), and the absence of a magnet. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and does not function as a lock or brake. An external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for secure holding.
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-SDA32X40 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 increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 130 mm, and it operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified build of the standard SDA32X40; it shares the exact same physical specifications, materials, and dimensions. It does not have an adjustable air cushion. Instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb impact. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow down the approach speed.
