Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30
The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.

About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X30 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA50X30, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line but grouped for specific use cases. It delivers a push force of 981.7 N and a pull force of 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s.
A short riveted body joins the barrel, rear cover, piston and rod to minimize axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder will not fit. The 50 mm bore utilizes a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm piston rod. This unit relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Note this SKU lacks the -S magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30 Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a main sorting line with 981.7 N of extend force, fitting neatly into tight transfer station footprints.
Carton Sealing Press
Provides a consistent 824.7 N retract pull to hold folding flaps during tape application, with the 30 mm stroke matching the clamp depth.
Pallet Lift Stop
Acts as a compact stop gate for 50 kg pallets, using the 20 mm rod to absorb side impacts when the fixed NBR bumper decelerates the load.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down, the SDA40 provides 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA63 yields 1558.6 N. This 50 mm bore offers a safe working load of roughly 589 N (about 60% of its 981.7 N capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. A plain compact actuator will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers—the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end, so add 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-SDA50X30 FAQ
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 981.7 N and a pull force of 824.7 N 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, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA50X30, sharing identical mechanical specs. This specific SKU does not include a piston magnet (-S), so it cannot host reed or electronic switches. You would need the SDA50X30S variant for position sensing.
