About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X50
The AirTAC B01-SDA63X50 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base SDA63X50, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. It delivers a robust 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, operating within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint. The bore is hard-anodized and uses a two-way piston seal. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper that decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. This specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot host reed or electronic switches without specifying the -S option.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X50 Is Used
Injection Mould Ejection
Provides the 1558.6 N push force required to eject plastic parts from mould tools in confined injection moulding machines where axial depth is restricted.
Bottle Diverting Arms
Drives heavy diverting mechanisms on packaging lines to shift glass or PET bottle flows, benefiting from the 50 mm stroke and compact riveted body footprint.
Press Tool Clamping
Secures workpieces in small pneumatic presses, utilizing the 20 mm piston rod and fixed NBR bumpers to absorb the end-stop impact during repetitive clamping cycles.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X50 the Right Cylinder?
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. For this model, a safe working load is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), allowing a vertical lift of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and no magnet.
Remember 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 NBR bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end without acting as a lock or brake. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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-SDA63X50 FAQ
This 63 mm bore cylinder generates a push of 1558.6 N and a pull of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 2182.1 N. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-500 mm/s, accepts PT1/4 ports, and has a maximum standard stroke of 130 mm.
The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the SDA63X50, sharing all identical physical specs. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper at each end absorbs the end-stop impact. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
