About the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X10B
The AirTAC B06-SDA16X10B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-dedicated variant of the standard SDA16X10B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a 6 mm piston rod with a male M5x0.8 thread end for direct load coupling.
Its riveted body design minimizes axial mounting depth, saving valuable footprint in dense cell stacking or tabbing machinery. The bore is hard-anodized and uses a two-way piston seal operating at 30-500 mm/s. End stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper to decelerate the stroke, which is not an adjustable air cushion, so high-speed approaches may require external shock absorption.

Where the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X10B Is Used
Lithium Cell Stacking
Provides precise 10 mm indexing for anode and cathode alignment in prismatic cell stacking machines, utilizing its short riveted body to fit multi-layer tooling.
Module Tab Welding
Clamps busbars during ultrasonic welding of battery module tabs, where the male M5x0.8 rod end secures custom copper electrodes and delivers 100.5 N of clamping force.
Pack Handling Diverter
Actuates a short diverter gate on a battery pack assembly conveyor, rapidly sorting trays into testing stations at speeds up to 500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X10B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbours: stepping down to the SDA12 yields 56.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA20 provides 157.1 N. This 16 mm bore offers a computed safe working load of roughly 60 N (about 60% of its 100.5 N capacity) and a vertical lift capability near 5.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M5x0.8 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end rather than locking the load; holding a suspended weight requires an external rod lock or 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 B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X10B FAQ
This 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 140.7 N push and 121 N pull at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push is 21 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and supports a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B06- prefix designates this as an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SDA16X10B, sharing identical mechanical specifications. This specific SKU does not include a piston magnet and cannot support reed or electronic switches; you would need the -S option for position sensing. It uses a fixed NBR bumper for end stops rather than an adjustable cushion.
