About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60B
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X60B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA50X60B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific industrial builds. Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific SKU features a male-thread piston rod (M18x1.5) for secure load coupling. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this configuration lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing without upgrading to an -S variant.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60B Is Used
Injection Mould Ejection
Provides robust ejection force for plastic injection moulding machines, utilizing the 981.7 N push capacity to reliably strip finished parts from deep mould cavities.
Package Diverting Arms
Drives heavy-duty diverter arms on logistics sorting lines, where the 60 mm stroke and compact depth allow tight installation between high-speed conveyor belts.
Press Tool Clamping
Secures lower die tools in small pneumatic presses, using the male M18x1.5 rod end to thread directly into heavy clamping jaws without intermediate couplers.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare its 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N, while stepping up to the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N. For practical application, its safe working load is approximately 589 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male rod thread, and no magnet.
Remember that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. The fixed bumper only decelerates the motion near the stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. If your application requires position holding without live pressure, you must 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-SDA50X60B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 981.7 N of push force and 824.7 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374.4 N. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA50X60B; mechanically, the bore, stroke, and seals are identical. Regarding impact, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed operations, you should add an external shock absorber.
