The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X75 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 75mm 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.
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X75 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA50X75, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific industry builds. Its short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint.
This 50 mm bore unit features a hard-anodized inner wall and a two-way piston seal operating at 30-500 mm/s. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. The rod end uses a female M10x1.5 thread on a 20 mm piston rod. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host magnetic switches without upgrading to the -S option.

Pushes medium-weight cartons off a main sorting line with 981.7 N of extend force, utilizing the 75 mm stroke to clear the belt lane efficiently.
Folds corrugated cardboard flaps on automated packing stations where the short riveted body prevents interference with adjacent tooling.
Ejects formed metal brackets from a stamping die, handling the 50 kg vertical load capacity while operating well within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.
When sizing this model, evaluate your neighbors: stepping down to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N. For this 50 mm bore, the safe working load is approximately 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end rather than acting as a lock. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 50 mm bore cylinder provides 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. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and accepts a PT1/4 air port.
The B01- prefix simply designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) build of the standard SDA50X75, with no mechanical changes to the bore, stroke, or seals. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. For high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber.
