About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X100B
The AirTAC B01-SDA40X100B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading "B01-" prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA40X100B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific SKU features a male M14x1.5 piston rod thread (denoted by the B option) instead of the default female M8x1.25, providing a robust mechanical coupling for your load. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot support magnetic reed or electronic switches. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X100B Is Used
PCB Conveyor Diverting
Actuates a diverting gate on a printed circuit board conveyor line, utilizing the 100mm stroke and male M14x1.5 rod to push panels cleanly into testing stations.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives the mechanical flap-folding arms on an automated packaging machine, where the 628.3 N push force securely tucks heavy cardboard flaps prior to sealing.
CNC Pallet Clamp
Locks lightweight machining pallets into a fixture grid, taking advantage of the compact riveted body to minimize axial protrusion in a dense manufacturing cell.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X100B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA32 which provides 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA50 which yields 981.7 N at the same pressure. This B01-SDA40X100B configuration offers a safe working load of roughly 377 N (about 60% of the 628.3 N figure) and can vertically lift approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Be aware that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For secure load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M14x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
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-SDA40X100B FAQ
This 40mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA40X100B, with no mechanical differences to the base model. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow down the approach speed.
