The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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-SDA32X5 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading "B01-" prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA32X5, meaning it is mechanically identical but grouped for specific build requirements. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
This unit features a 32 mm bore, a 12 mm piston rod, and PT1/8 ports. Its riveted body assembly drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so high-energy cycles may require external shock absorbers. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and therefore cannot support position sensing.

Provides a short 5 mm clamping action to pin circuit boards during wave soldering, utilizing its 402.1 N force without consuming valuable Z-axis height.
Ejects small stamped metal parts from a press die using a rapid 5 mm tap, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the impact at the stroke end.
Shifts a vision camera bracket by 5 mm for dual-focus inspection stations, taking advantage of the compact riveted body to fit within tight machine frames.
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA25 which provides 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA40 which yields 628.3 N. At 402.1 N, this 32 mm bore achieves a safe working load of roughly 241 N (about 60 percent capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Be aware that a standard double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 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 and 1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) grouping of the standard SDA32X5, with no mechanical changes to the physical specs. Because this particular SKU lacks the -S option, it has no internal piston magnet and cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
