About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X50S
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X50S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 981.7 N of push force and 824.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA50X50S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific deployment scenarios. It uses a 50 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint. The bore is hard-anodized, and the piston incorporates a two-way seal. Because this unit includes the S option, it features a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X50S 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.
Palletizing Stops
Acts as a robust physical stop for incoming pallets on a packaging conveyor, absorbing contact using its fixed NBR bumper.
Material Lift Gates
Raises and lowers light access gates on automated machinery, providing reliable vertical lift for roughly 50 kg loads at a 2:1 safety margin.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X50S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, step down to the SDA40 for 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA63 for 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa. Based on the 981.7 N push figure, the safe working load is approximately 589 N (60% capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of about 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Keep in mind a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end rather than locking the load; utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is mandatory. To order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, built-in magnet (S), and female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
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-SDA50X50S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 1374.4 N push and 1154.5 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) line of the standard SDA50X50S, retaining identical physical specifications like the 20 mm rod and PT1/4 port. Regarding end-stopping, it uses a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the piston at stroke ends; it is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed cycling, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach.
