About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X15B
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X15B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The "B01-" prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA50X15B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a very short 15 mm stroke.
This unit includes the -B option, providing a male M18x1.5 piston rod thread for robust load coupling. The riveted body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston, rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X15B Is Used
Press-Fit Pin Insertion
Drives dowel pins into aluminum jigs using its 981.7 N extend force, where the short 15 mm stroke and male M18x1.5 rod securely attach the insertion tooling.
Carton Flap Folding
Folds heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on continuous packaging lines, taking advantage of the compact riveted body to fit within tight conveyor side frames.
Stamping Press Ejection
Ejects small stamped metal parts from progressive dies, utilizing the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the rapid end-stop impact during high-speed cycling.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X15B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force needs 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 this specific unit, the safe working load is approximately 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; to hold a load securely, integrate an external rod lock or 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-SDA50X15B FAQ
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374.4 N. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates this is an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA50X15B, sharing identical physical specs. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S variant for position sensing.
