About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X10
The AirTAC B01-SDA40X10 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA40X10, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line but grouped for specific build requirements. It delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a very short 10 mm stroke.
The riveted body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, making it ideal for tight machine footprints. This 40 mm bore unit uses a 16 mm piston rod and PT1/8 ports. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Without an S option code, this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and cannot host reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X10 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides the 628.3 N push force needed to clamp populated circuit boards firmly during router-based depaneling, utilizing the 10 mm stroke to save Z-axis height.
Carton Flap Folding
Executes rapid 10 mm tucks on packaging lines to fold minor carton flaps prior to tape sealing, where the short riveted body minimizes conveyor interference.
Stamping Pin Alignment
Delivers precise 10 mm positioning strokes to align stamping pins in progressive die tooling, keeping the press footprint exceptionally compact.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down, the SDA32 bore provides 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N. The 628.3 N output here translates to a safe working load of roughly 377 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and a vertical lift capacity of approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod-end thread M8x1.25, and no sensor magnet.
Remember that a standard compact cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The fixed bumper only decelerates the motion near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. If your application must hold a vertical load without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a 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-SDA40X10 FAQ
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 879.6 N push and 738.9 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, handles a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s across a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA40X10; mechanically and dimensionally it is identical to the base model. It does not feature an adjustable air cushion. Instead, a fixed NBR bumper at each end absorbs the end-stop impact. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
