About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X100
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X100 is a double-acting, single-rod compact air cylinder delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA50X100. Mechanically, it is identical to the base model, featuring a hard-anodized bore and a two-way piston seal. A 100 mm stroke operates within the 130 mm maximum standard stroke limit for this bore size.
Its short, riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders, saving valuable machine footprint. The unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end, rather than an adjustable air cushion. This SKU ships without a piston magnet, meaning it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X100 Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a sorting line using the 100 mm stroke, where the short riveted body keeps the conveyor frame profile thin.
Injection Mold Ejection
Ejects formed plastic parts from a press bed, utilizing the 981.7 N extend force to overcome mold friction without requiring a full-profile cylinder.
Pallet Lift Gate
Raises a 50 kg palletized load gate vertically, operating well within the safe working load margin while handling the 100 mm travel requirement.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Stepping down to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N. For the 50 mm bore, a practical safe working load is roughly 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N figure), allowing a vertical lift of approximately 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or a 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-SDA50X100 FAQ
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 1374.4 N push and 1154.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and travels at 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified line of the standard SDA50X100, sharing identical physical specs and sizing. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper absorbs impact at the stroke ends. For high-energy cycles, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
