About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X60
The AirTAC B01-SDA40X60 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA40X60, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa, operating within a 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint. The 16 mm piston rod utilizes a female M8x1.25 thread, and the PT1/8 port ensures reliable pneumatic supply. End-stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the piston rather than an adjustable air cushion, requiring external shock absorbers for high-energy cycles.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X60 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides the 628.3 N push force required to knock finished plastic parts out of injection molding tools within a tight press footprint.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives the mechanical arms that tuck and fold corrugated carton flaps prior to sealing, utilizing the 60 mm stroke for rapid cycling.
Pallet Diverter Gate
Actuates routing gates on conveyor lines to sort heavy pallets, handling the side-load demands carefully to preserve the compact rod seal.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA40X60 the Right Cylinder?
This 40 mm bore generates 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If you need less power, stepping down to the SDA32 provides 402.1 N, while moving up to the SDA50 yields 981.7 N. A safe working load is approximately 377 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 32 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. When ordering, confirm the 40 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet.
Because this is a double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston drifts until the bumper makes contact. To maintain position without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your 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-SDA40X60 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628.3 N and the 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. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA40X60, sharing identical physical specs. It uses a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate at stroke ends, not an adjustable cushion. It cannot hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for load holding.
