Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60
The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 60mm 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-SDA50X60
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X60 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base SDA50X60, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line but grouped for specific use cases. It delivers a substantial 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating within a 30-500 mm/s speed range.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint. The 50 mm bore features a hard-anodized inner wall and a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end. This specific SKU lacks the -S option, so it has no piston magnet and cannot accept magnetic switches. The 20 mm rod uses a female M10x1.5 thread, and the ports are PT1/4.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60 Is Used
Carton Erector Flap Folding
Provides the 981.7 N push force required to fold heavy corrugated cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 60 mm stroke to clear the machine frame during retraction.
Pallet Diverting Gate
Actuates a routing gate on a 50 kg pallet conveyor, safely handling the load within the 589 N safe working limit while benefiting from the short riveted body to minimize protrusion into walkways.
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives a secondary ejection arm on an injection molding machine, where the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end-stop impact and the PT1/4 port ensures adequate flow for rapid 30-500 mm/s cycling.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbours: the SDA40 provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter loads, while the SDA63 steps up to 1558.6 N for heavier demands. Based on the 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is approximately 589 N (60% margin), translating to a vertical lift capacity of about 50 kg with a 2:1 safety factor. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centred; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, confirm the 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female rod thread, and the absence of a 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-SDA50X60 FAQ
The 50 mm bore 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. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and has a maximum standard stroke limit of 130 mm.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA50X60, sharing identical mechanical specifications. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it has no piston magnet and cannot accept reed or electronic switches. Additionally, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
