The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA50X80SB 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.
The AirTAC B01-SDA50X80SB is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA50X80SB, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific industry builds. It delivers a push force of 981.7 N and a pull force of 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa.
The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint. This unit includes the S option for a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches, and the B option for a male M18x1.5 piston rod thread. End stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Pushes product lanes at high throughput on a beverage packaging conveyor, utilizing the 80 mm stroke and 981.7 N force to shift heavy multi-pack cases.
Secures heavy cast iron engine blocks during machining operations, taking advantage of the male M18x1.5 rod end for robust mechanical coupling to the fixture jaw.
Actuates a lightweight pneumatic lift gate on an end-of-line palletizer, where the compact riveted body saves vertical space and the built-in magnet confirms gate position.
When sizing this 50 mm bore, step down to the SDA40 which provides 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA63 which yields 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa. A safe working load for this model is approximately 589 N (about 60% of the 981.7 N figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 50 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and the included sensor magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; the fixed bumper decelerates the stroke end but does not function as a lock, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the application requires position holding.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore cylinder generates a push force of 981.7 N and a pull force of 824.7 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 1374.4 N. The theoretical maximum push is 200 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit.
The B01- prefix simply designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA50X80SB; all physical specifications remain identical. It does not have an adjustable air cushion, instead using a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
