About the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA80X50
The AirTAC B01-SDA80X50 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 2513.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base SDA80X50, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but grouped for specific customer builds. It features a hard-anodized 80 mm bore and a robust Ø25 mm piston rod.
Its short riveted body significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders, saving valuable machine footprint. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so for high-energy cycles you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, meaning it cannot host magnetic switches without upgrading to the -S option.

Where the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA80X50 Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Ejects heavy formed metal panels from stamping presses using 2513.3 N of extend force, fitting into shallow press sub-frames where standard cylinders protrude too far.
Pallet Diverter Arm
Actuates a heavy-duty diverter arm on a packaging conveyor to route loaded pallets, utilizing the 50 mm stroke and fixed NBR bumper to absorb the stop impact.
Injection Mold Separation
Pushes large injection molding halves apart with a 2267.8 N retract pull force at 0.5 MPa, leveraging the rigid 25 mm rod to handle substantial mold weights.
Is the Airtac B01-SDA Dedicated Cylinder B01-SDA80X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80 mm bore, step down to the SDA63 for 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to the SDA100 for 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. This B01-SDA80X50 configuration provides a safe working load of roughly 1508 N (about 60% of its 0.5 MPa capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 128.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. To order, confirm the 80 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M14x1.5 rod thread, and no magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not act as a lock, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if you must hold a load.
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-SDA80X50 FAQ
This 80 mm bore cylinder provides 2513.3 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 3518.6 N push and 3175 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT3/8 port, a 25 mm rod, and operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the SDA80X50, with no mechanical changes to the base specifications. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the piston. For high-speed or high-energy loads, an external shock absorber is recommended.
