The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X50 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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-SDA32X50 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The leading "B01-" prefix marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA32X50, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 345.6 N at 0.5 MPa. The 32 mm bore utilizes a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal to ensure reliable operation across its 50 mm stroke.
This unit features a short riveted body that significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, making it highly effective for tight machine footprints. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speeds range from 30-500 mm/s, and the PT1/8 port ensures efficient airflow for this specific bore size.

Provides the 402.1 N extension force needed to actuate the tooling gate on an automated PCB depaneling router, fitting neatly within the tight axial footprint of the electronics assembly cell.
Drives the side flap folding mechanism on a continuous motion cartoner, utilizing its 50 mm stroke and fixed NBR bumpers to absorb the repetitive end-stop impact without external cushions.
Actuates the gripper jaw on a servo roll feed system for a small mechanical stamping press, moving coil stock accurately at cycle rates within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins both ways: 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. Based on the 402.1 N push figure, the safe working load is approximately 241 N (about 60% capacity), which translates to a vertical lift capability of roughly 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, be aware that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for secure positioning.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 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 and the pull force is 483.8 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 functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
The B01- prefix simply designates this as an AirTAC application-dedicated, customer-specified build of the standard SDA32X50; it shares the exact same physical specifications, seals, and dimensions as the base model. Regarding load holding, a plain SDA cylinder does not lock position upon air loss or valve centering—the piston will drift. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
