About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30B
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X30B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA50X30B, retaining exact mechanical equivalence. Its short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific SKU features a male M18x1.5 threaded piston rod (the -B option) for secure mechanical coupling to your load. The 50 mm bore operates on a PT1/4 port and relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Because this configuration lacks the -S magnet, it cannot directly host AirTAC reed or electronic switches.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30B Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes parcels laterally on a high-speed logistics conveyor using the 30 mm stroke and 981.7 N force to clear the belt path efficiently.
Injection Mold Ejection
Ejects formed plastic parts from an injection molding fixture via the male M18x1.5 rod end, handling roughly 50 kg of vertical load safely.
Carton Sealing Press
Applies downward clamping pressure on a packaging line, utilizing the compact riveted body to fit within narrow sealing head clearances.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X30B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, 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. Based on the 981.7 N output at 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is approximately 589 N (60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To finalize your order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, 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-SDA50X30B FAQ
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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 force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) build that is mechanically identical to the standard SDA50X30B. This specific SKU does not include a piston magnet (no -S code), so it cannot support reed or electronic switches. It also uses a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
