The AirTAC Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X30S 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-SDA63X30S is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA63X30S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers a substantial 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa.
The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint. It features a hard-anodized 63 mm bore, a 20 mm piston rod, and PT1/4 ports. Because this configuration includes the S option, it has a built-in piston magnet ready for AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. End stops rely on a fixed NBR bumper, which decelerates the stroke end but is not an adjustable air cushion.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SSA (single-acting push), STA (single-acting pull), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Drives short-stroke press dies for vehicle body panels, utilizing the 1558.6 N extend force to form sheet metal securely within a tight machine footprint.
Holds heavy corrugated pallet loads stationary during automated strapping cycles, where the 30 mm stroke rapidly engages and releases the load.
Actuates a short vertical material lift in a CNC router loading station, moving timber blanks with a safe working load near 935 N.
When sizing this unit, evaluate your neighbours: the SDA50 offers 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter duties, while the SDA80 steps up to 2513.3 N for heavier loads. Based on the 1558.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (about 60 percent capacity), translating to a vertical lift of approximately 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Ensure your ordering essentials cover the 63 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the required S magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is critical.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2182.1 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 20 mm rod, PT1/4 ports, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and operates at 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard SDA63X30S, with no mechanical changes to the bore, stroke, or force. It uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. For high energy impacts, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
