About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X50B
The AirTAC B01-SDA63X50B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder. The B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA63X50B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers a push force of 1558.6 N and a pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. The short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth, saving valuable machine footprint where a longer round-body unit would fail to fit.
This specific SKU features a male M18x1.5 threaded piston rod (denoted by the B option) for secure mechanical load coupling, paired with a 20 mm rod diameter and PT1/4 air ports. It relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke end rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this configuration lacks the S magnet option, it cannot host magnetic switches for position sensing.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X50B Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Drives ejection plates in plastic injection molding machines where the short riveted body minimizes axial depth and the male M18x1.5 rod securely mounts to the tooling plate.
Pallet Flap Folding
Folds cardboard flaps on high-speed packaging lines, utilizing the 1558.6 N extend force to cleanly crease heavy corrugated materials during automated case sealing.
Lift Gate Actuation
Raises and lowers intermediate lift gates in material handling conveyors, safely moving loads near the 79.4 kg vertical lift threshold when paired with external guidance.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA63X50B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, step down to the SDA50 which provides 981.7 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA80 which yields 2513.3 N at 0.5 MPa. A computed safe working load for this 63 mm bore is approximately 935 N (about 60% of the 1558.6 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 79.4 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the male M18x1.5 rod thread. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or valve centring; the piston drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For a held load, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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-SDA63X50B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull. At 0.7 MPa it provides 2182.1 N push and 1962.2 N pull. The theoretical maximum push is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA63X50B that is mechanically identical to the standard model. 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 loads, add an external shock absorber.
