The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X30B 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-SDA63X30B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. The B01- prefix denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA63X30B, meaning it shares the exact same mechanical architecture and physical specs. It delivers a robust 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a hard-anodized 63 mm bore and a two-way piston seal for reliable linear motion.
This specific configuration includes a male-threaded M18x1.5 piston rod end (denoted by the B option) for secure mechanical load coupling, paired with a 20 mm rod diameter. The short riveted body significantly reduces mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, and because this SKU lacks the S magnet option, it cannot host magnetic position switches.

Provides the 1558.6 N extend force required to eject dense plastic parts from injection molding tools, with the short riveted body fitting within tight mold platens.
Drives the folding mechanism on high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 30 mm stroke and fixed NBR bumpers to rapidly cycle without requiring complex cushion adjustments.
Lifts and lowers lightweight woodworking panels in an assembly press, where the male M18x1.5 thread securely attaches the tooling and the 63 mm bore handles the vertical load.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully. Stepping down, the SDA50 provides 981.7 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA80 yields 2513.3 N. The B01-SDA63X30B offers a computed safe working load of roughly 935 N (about 60% of its 1558.6 N capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure you specify the 63 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the male M18x1.5 rod thread when ordering.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder like this cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end without acting as a locking brake. If your application demands static position holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 1558.6 N and the pull force is 1401.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 2182.1 N and the pull to 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and the operational speed range spans 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates this is an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA63X30B, sharing identical physical specifications and dimensions. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, it uses fixed NBR bumpers at both ends to absorb end-stop impact. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
