About the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X15B
The AirTAC B06-SDA16X15B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder delivering 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The leading B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SDA16X15B; mechanically, the bore, stroke, seals and output remain completely identical to the base unit. Its short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth, fitting easily into dense cell assembly machinery.
This specific SKU features a male M5x0.8 piston rod thread for direct load coupling and uses an M5x0.8 air port. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning operators cannot tune the end-stop impact. Because this unit lacks the -S magnet option, it cannot host reed or electronic switches for position sensing.

Where the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X15B Is Used
Lithium Cell Stacking
Applies the 100.5 N extend force to press separator sheets and electrode layers together within compact stacking machines.
Module Tab Welding
Utilizes the 15 mm stroke and male M5x0.8 rod to clamp busbars and battery tabs firmly prior to ultrasonic welding.
Pack Handling Diverter
Pushes battery packs laterally across a tight conveyor belt section where the short riveted body saves valuable axial footprint.
Is the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X15B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator for battery line tasks, stepping down to the SDA12 yields 56.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA20 provides 157.1 N. The 16 mm bore offers a calculated safe working load of roughly 60 N (about 60% of the 100.5 N figure) and a vertical lift capacity near 5.1 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 16 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male rod thread, and no sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the stroke near its end without acting as a mechanical lock. If your battery stacking or handling process requires strict position holding without live pressure, you must 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 B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA16X15B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 16 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 100.5 N of push force and 86.4 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 140.7 N and pull to 121 N. The theoretical maximum push is 21 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B06- prefix simply indicates this unit is curated for battery-manufacturing applications, though it is mechanically identical to the standard SDA16X15B. It does not have an adjustable air cushion; instead, a fixed NBR bumper absorbs impact at the stroke ends. For high-speed operations, you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
