The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA32X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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-SDA32X60 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA32X60, 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, operating within a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint. This unit features a 12 mm piston rod, a PT1/8 port, and a female M6x1.0 rod-end thread. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, a fixed NBR bumper decelerates the piston at stroke end. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot accept magnetic switches.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SSA (single-acting push), STA (single-acting pull), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Deploys a 60 mm stroke to gate printed circuit boards on an SMT line, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force to push panels firmly into the routing fixture.
Actuates a mechanical arm to fold minor flaps on corrugated shipping cartons, where the compact riveted body minimizes axial intrusion into tight packaging machine frames.
Pushes metal blanks against a hard stop to square them before a stamping press, relying on the 345.6 N retract force to reset the locating pin rapidly.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbours: 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 32 mm bore at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is roughly 241 N (about 60 percent of the 402.1 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of approximately 20.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and no magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of travel and does not function as a locking brake. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
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 is 563 N and the pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and the operating temperature ranges from -20 to +70 C.
The B01- prefix designates this as an AirTAC application-dedicated, customer-specified line of the SDA32X60; mechanically, it shares the exact same physical specifications as the base model. This specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot be used with reed or electronic switches. To add sensing capabilities, you would need the -S option variant. Additionally, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion.
