The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 30mm 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-SDA63X30 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA63X30, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard line but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers a substantial 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavier automation tasks.
The short riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders, saving valuable machine footprint. This unit features a hard-anodized 63 mm bore, a 20 mm piston rod, and PT1/4 ports. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet and therefore cannot support magnetic sensing.

Provides robust 1558.6 N push force to eject dense plastic parts from molding dies where axial space is restricted by the press frame.
Executes a 30 mm stroke to push loaded pallets onto a secondary packaging line, utilizing the compact body to fit within tight conveyor profiles.
Secures heavy stamping tools in place under live pressure, taking advantage of the 20 mm rod diameter to handle high side-load resistance.
When sizing this 63 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the SDA50 which provides 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the SDA80 which yields 2513.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Based on the 1558.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60 percent of capacity), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin.
Be aware 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 near the stroke end rather than locking it. For applications requiring position holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a magnet.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 1558.6 N and a pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 2182.1 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B01- prefix simply designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA63X30, with identical mechanical specifications. This specific SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches. You would need the -S option variant for sensing capabilities.
