Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X80
The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X80 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 80mm 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-SDA50X80
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X80 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The leading "B01-" prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base SDA50X80, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific build lines. It delivers a substantial 981.7 N of push force and 824.7 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating within a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
This 50 mm bore unit features a hard-anodized inner wall and a short riveted body that radically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, so high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber. The rod end utilizes a female M10x1.5 thread, and because this SKU lacks the -S option, it has no piston magnet and cannot host magnetic switches.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X80 Is Used
Package Sortation Diverter
Pushes medium-weight cartons off a main sorting line using its 981.7 N thrust, with the 80 mm stroke clearing the belt edge in tight transfer modules.
Pallet Strapping Press
Holds a steel or plastic strapping coil firmly against a pallet base prior to tensioning, utilizing the 50 mm bore's robust clamping force in confined packaging cells.
Stamping Blank Alignment
Squashes and aligns metal blanks in a progressive die fixture, where the compact riveted body minimizes interference with the press tooling.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X80 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the SDA40 yields 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA63 provides 1558.6 N. The 981.7 N output at 0.5 MPa translates to a safe working load of roughly 589 N (about 60% capacity) or a vertical lift of approximately 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the female rod-end thread. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a locking brake. If your application must hold a load 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-SDA50X80 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 981.7 N push and 824.7 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374.4 N. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa and a temperature range of -20 to +70 C.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an AirTAC application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA50X80; mechanically, the specs are identical. It does not have adjustable air cushions. Instead, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to absorb impact. For high-speed or high-energy loads, you should slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
