About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X40B
The AirTAC B01-SDA32X40B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 402.1 N of push force and 345.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The B01- prefix denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA32X40B, retaining exact mechanical equivalence to the standard line. It features a 32 mm bore, a 40 mm stroke, and a PT1/8 port.
Its riveted body assembly significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, making it ideal for tight machine footprints. The bore is hard-anodized for longevity, and the piston incorporates a two-way seal. This specific SKU includes a male M10x1.25 piston rod thread for direct load coupling and lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot host reed or electronic switches without the -S option. End stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X40B Is Used
PCB Router Gantry
Drives the Z-axis plunge on a printed circuit board depaneling router, where the short 40 mm stroke and compact body depth keep the gantry profile minimal.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a mechanical arm to tuck minor flaps on a continuous carton erector, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force to overcome cardboard resistance.
Stamping Pin Locator
Positions a male-threaded M10x1.25 locating pin into a mild steel bracket prior to a hydraulic stamping press cycle, ensuring rigid alignment.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X40B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbours: the SDA25 provides 245.4 N push while the SDA40 offers 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. For this 32 mm bore, 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. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M10x1.25 rod thread (B), and no sensor magnet. Because the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end, an external shock absorber is advised for high-speed approaches. Furthermore, a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; holding a suspended load requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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-SDA32X40B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it yields 563 N push and 483.8 N pull. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 130 mm.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) line of the standard SDA32X40B; the physical specifications, seals, and dimensions remain completely identical. Regarding end-of-stroke damping, it uses a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the piston, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy loads, slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
