About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X10B
The AirTAC B01-SDA40X10B is a double-acting compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA40X10B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. It delivers a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. The riveted body design drastically reduces overall length compared to round-body cylinders, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific unit features a 16 mm piston rod with an M14x1.5 male thread for robust load coupling. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this SKU lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches. The bore accepts PT1/8 porting and operates efficiently across a 30-500 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X10B Is Used
PCB Router Clamping
Secures printed circuit board panels during routing operations where the 628.3 N push force easily holds the substrate, and the 10 mm stroke minimizes cycle delays.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives short-throw mechanical fingers to fold corrugated carton flaps prior to sealing, leveraging the compact riveted body to fit within tight conveyor side frames.
Stamping Pin Ejection
Ejects small metal pins from a progressive stamping die using the M14x1.5 male rod end, providing positive ejection force without consuming valuable die-space depth.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X10B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbours: stepping down to the SDA32 yields 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA50 provides 981.7 N. For the 40 mm bore, a safe working load is approximately 377 N (about 60% of the 628.3 N capacity), translating to a vertical lift of roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 40 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M14x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet. Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of travel and does not function as a locking brake. If your application requires position holding without live pressure, incorporate 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-SDA40X10B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628.3 N and the pull force is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879.6 N and the pull force is 738.9 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 AirTAC application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA40X10B; it shares the exact same physical specifications. It does not have an adjustable air cushion. Instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb impact at the stroke limits. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
