About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60SB
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X60SB is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA50X60SB, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific industry builds. It generates 1374.4 N extend thrust at 0.7 MPa and utilizes a PT1/4 port.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for direct mounting of AirTAC reed or electronic switches along the body grooves. The -B option specifies a male M18x1.5 threaded piston rod end for secure load coupling. To minimize axial footprint, the riveted body design saves mounting depth, while a fixed NBR bumper decelerates the piston at stroke limits rather than relying on an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60SB Is Used
Carton Erector Flap Folding
Drives the folding mechanism on packaging lines with 981.7 N extend force, utilizing the 60 mm stroke to cleanly tuck carton flaps before sealing.
Pallet Diverting Gate
Actuates routing gates on conveyor systems; the short riveted body saves axial depth in tight transfer stations while handling high side loads.
Injection Mold Ejection
Pushes finished plastic parts out of injection molding tools, where the male M18x1.5 rod end threads securely into the ejector plate.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X60SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, step down to the SDA40 which provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA63 yielding 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa. This 50 mm bore achieves a safe working load of roughly 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N figure) and can vertically lift approximately 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, built-in magnet, and male M18x1.5 rod thread. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near the end of travel and does not function as a locking brake. To hold a load securely without live pressure, 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-SDA50X60SB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 981.7 N and the pull force is 824.7 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 1374.4 N and pull is 1154.5 N. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA50X60SB, sharing identical mechanical specifications. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper at each end absorbs the impact. For high-energy cycles, slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
