About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X40
The AirTAC B01-SDA63X40 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The leading "B01-" prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant, mechanically identical to the standard SDA63X40. 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 20 mm piston rod.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint. The design relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke, rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing without upgrading to the -S option.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X40 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides the 1558.6 N extend force needed to eject dense plastic parts from molding machines, fitting neatly into tight mold base footprints.
Palletizer Lift Stations
Handles intermediate vertical lifting of 79.4 kg payload tiers within conveyor systems, operating safely at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
Case Flap Folding
Drives heavy cardboard flap folders on high-speed packaging lines where the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the repetitive end-stop impact.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the SDA50 which provides 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the SDA80 which yields 2513.3 N at the same pressure. Based on the 1558.6 N output at 0.5 MPa, the computed safe working load is roughly 935 N (about 60 percent of capacity), translating to a vertical lift capability of approximately 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Be aware that a plain compact cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For secure load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and no magnet.
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-SDA63X40 FAQ
This 63 mm bore 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 is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and operating speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply designates this as an application-specific (customer-specified) build of the standard SDA63X40, meaning all physical specs remain identical. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. For high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
