About the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X10B
The AirTAC B06-SDA20X10B is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SDA20X10B. It delivers 157.1 N of push force and 131.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating within a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
This model features a male M6x1.0 threaded piston rod (an upgrade from the default female M4x0.7) for secure mechanical coupling. The riveted body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders, while the fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-stop impact. Note that this SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support position sensing without upgrading to the -S variant.

Where the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X10B Is Used
Cell Stacking Presses
Applies the 157.1 N extend force to align and press battery separator films and anodes during prismatic cell stacking, utilizing the 10 mm stroke for rapid, short-cycle indexing.
Module Tab Welding
Clamps busbar tabs securely in place via the male M6x1.0 rod end prior to laser welding on battery module assembly lines, ensuring precise electrical contact.
Pouch Cell Handling
Actuates small gripper fingers to transfer delicate pouch cells between conveyor trays, where the compact riveted body minimizes interference in dense machinery.
Is the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X10B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your neighbors: stepping down to the SDA16 yields 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N. At 157.1 N, this 20 mm bore provides a safe working load around 94 N (roughly 60% capacity) and can vertically lift approximately 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 20 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M6 rod thread, and no magnet.
Because this is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered—the piston drifts, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For battery-stacking or handling applications requiring position holding on air loss, integrate 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-SDA20X10B FAQ
This 20 mm bore 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. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B06- prefix indicates this unit is part of AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line, though its physical specifications match the base SDA20X10B exactly. It uses fixed NBR bumpers at each end to decelerate the stroke, not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed battery assembly, add an external shock absorber to manage impact energy.
