About the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X10
The AirTAC B06-SDA20X10 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The leading "B06-" prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard SDA20X10, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 157.1 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short 10 mm stroke and riveted body drastically reduce axial mounting depth compared to round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint in dense cell assembly equipment.
This bore size features an 8 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 air port. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing; the -S option is required for reed or electronic switches. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X10 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives the precise 10 mm pressing motion to align and stack lithium-ion battery cells during module assembly.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides the 157.1 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold battery tabs firmly in place for ultrasonic welding.
Pack Handling Diverter
Executes rapid 10 mm strokes to push battery packs onto secondary packaging conveyors without taking up frame width.
Is the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins both ways: stepping down to the SDA16 yields 100.5 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N. For the SDA20X10, the safe working load is approximately 94 N (about 60% of the 157.1 N figure), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 20 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female M4x0.7 rod thread, and no magnet. A plain cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—the piston will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For suspended loads, 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-SDA20X10 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 157.1 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The theoretical maximum push force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B06- prefix simply marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line of the SDA20X10; it shares the exact same physical specs as the base model. This specific SKU does not have a piston magnet and cannot accept magnetic switches. To enable reed or electronic switch sensing, you must order the -S option variant.
