About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X5
The AirTAC B01-SDA40X5 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA40X5, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
Designed to save axial mounting depth, its short riveted body fits where round-body or profile cylinders cannot. The 16 mm piston rod features a female M8x1.25 thread, and air connects via PT1/8 ports. End-stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston rather than an adjustable air cushion. This SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing without upgrading to the -S option.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X5 Is Used
PCB Edge Pinning
Provides a precise 5 mm advance to pin circuit boards in an assembly fixture without consuming vertical headroom.
Film Seal Jaw
Actuates a short-stroke sealing jaw on a vertical form fill machine, delivering 628.3 N to crimp packaging film.
Part Ejector
Ejects small stamped metal parts from a press die using a compact 16 mm rod that withstands side-load-free ejection.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X5 the Right Cylinder?
This 40 mm bore generates 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, offering a safe working load around 377 N (roughly 60 percent of capacity) and a vertical lift capability of about 32 kg with a 2:1 margin. If you need less force, stepping down to the SDA32 provides 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier demands, the SDA50 increases output to 981.7 N at 0.5 MPa. When ordering, confirm the 5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and no magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
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-SDA40X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 628.3 N and pull force is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 879.6 N and pull is 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum push is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, a 16 mm rod, and operates at 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) build of the standard SDA40X5, sharing identical mechanical specs. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper absorbs impact at the stroke ends. For high-speed cycling, add an external shock absorber.
