About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X10B
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X10B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA50X10B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 981.7 N of push force and 824.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short, riveted body assembly drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific unit features a 10 mm stroke and a male M18x1.5 threaded piston rod (denoted by the B option) for secure load coupling. The 50 mm bore uses a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm rod. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so for high-energy cycles you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X10B Is Used
Short-Stroke Ejection
Ideal for pushing finished metal stampings out of a press die using its 10 mm stroke and 981.7 N push force.
Carton Flap Folding
Provides the precise axial punch needed to fold corrugated cardboard flaps on a high-speed packaging line.
Vertical Lift Stops
Acts as a compact vertical lift stop for 50 kg material trays, utilizing the male M18x1.5 thread for secure tooling.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X10B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA40, which yields 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the SDA63, which provides 1558.6 N at the same pressure. At 981.7 N, this 50 mm bore achieves a safe working load of roughly 589 N (about 60 percent of the 0.5 MPa figure) and can vertically lift approximately 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the motion near the stroke end without acting as a lock. If your application requires position holding without live pressure, you must integrate 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-SDA50X10B FAQ
This 50 mm bore cylinder generates 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 1374.4 N push 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 runs at speeds from 30 to 500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA50X10B, with no mechanical changes to the bore, stroke, or force. This specific SKU lacks the S option, so it has no piston magnet and cannot accept a reed or electronic switch. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end instead of an adjustable cushion.
