About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X30SB
The AirTAC B01-SDA40X30SB is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. The leading "B01-" prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard SDA40X30SB but grouped for specific industry builds. It delivers 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A 16 mm piston rod pairs with a male M14x1.5 thread end to securely drive your load.
This 40 mm bore unit features a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. The short riveted body drastically reduces mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives. Stroke termination relies on a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston near the end of travel; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so high-energy cycles may require external shock absorption.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X30SB Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives ejection pins on a 32 kg mold plate assembly, utilizing the male M14x1.5 rod for rigid mechanical coupling and 628.3 N of extend force to reliably strip finished plastic parts.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on a continuous packaging line where the compact riveted body saves axial depth, preventing interference with adjacent conveyor rollers.
Printed Circuit Board Alignment
Positions PCBs during wave soldering using an AirTAC reed or electronic switch to confirm stroke completion, ensuring precise 30 mm lateral shifts without exceeding 879.6 N at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X30SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA32 yields 402.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA50 provides 981.7 N. This 40 mm bore offers a calculated safe working load of roughly 377 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa rating) and can vertically lift approximately 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, built-in magnet, and male M14x1.5 rod thread.
Remember that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end without acting as a lock or brake. If your application must sustain a load without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
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-SDA40X30SB FAQ
This 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, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA40X30SB; it shares the exact same physical specifications and dimensions as the base model. The -B option indicates a male M14x1.5 threaded piston rod end (the default is a female M8x1.25 thread), allowing you to thread fixtures directly onto the 16 mm rod.
