About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60S
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X60S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base SDA50X60S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line but grouped for specific use cases. It delivers a robust 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating within a 30-500 mm/s speed range.
This model features a short riveted body that significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, making it ideal for tight machine footprints. The 50 mm bore utilizes a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm piston rod. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the piston rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this unit includes the S option, it has a built-in piston magnet ready for AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60S Is Used
Package Diverting
Pushes parcels from a main sorting belt to downstream chutes using the 981.7 N extend force, fitting neatly into the tight lateral gaps between conveyor frames.
Pallet Lift Station
Raises empty pallets weighing up to 50 kg in a packaging line, where the 60 mm stroke provides just enough vertical travel without wasting vertical space.
CNC Tool Loading
Shuttle cartridge inserts into a machining center, relying on the 20 mm rod and female M10x1.5 thread to couple securely while avoiding side loads.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force needs bidirectionally. Stepping down, the SDA40 bore provides 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up, the SDA63 bore yields 1558.6 N. For the 50 mm bore itself, the safe working load is approximately 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N figure at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and the required S magnet option. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for position holding.
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-SDA50X60S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard SDA50X60S, with zero mechanical changes to the bore, stroke, or force. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper absorbs impact at the stroke ends. For high-speed cycling, you should add an external shock absorber.
