About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X50
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X50 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base SDA50X50, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line. It generates 981.7 N of push force and 824.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A short riveted body joins the barrel, rear cover, piston and rod, significantly reducing axial mounting depth where a larger profile cylinder would fail to fit.
This 50 mm bore unit features a 20 mm piston rod and PT1/4 air ports. End stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, decelerating the piston near stroke end. Because this specific SKU lacks the S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot host reed or electronic switches. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X50 Is Used
Package Diverter Pusher
Executes 50 mm strokes to deflect medium weight cartons on a packaging line, utilizing the 981.7 N extend force to positively shift items at high cycle rates.
CNC Fixture Clamping
Secures aluminum castings inside a machining center, saving valuable axial envelope space while delivering 824.7 N of retract pull at 0.5 MPa to hold the workpiece.
Pallet Stop Gate
Acts as a robust physical stop for loaded pallets approaching a stretch wrapper, absorbing kinetic energy via its fixed NBR bumper without requiring external shock absorbers.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X50 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 50 mm bore provides a safe working load of roughly 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N push figure at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity near 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, demanding setups can step up to the SDA63 for 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa. Keep in mind a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and does not lock the load. For position holding, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Confirm ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and no magnet.
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-SDA50X50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374.4 N. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B01- prefix simply denotes an application-dedicated, customer-specified build of the standard SDA50X50; mechanically, all dimensions and forces remain identical. This specific SKU lacks the S option, meaning it has no internal piston magnet and cannot support reed or electronic switches. End damping is handled strictly by a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
