About the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X5
The AirTAC B06-SDA20X5 is a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder. The B06- prefix marks this as the battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SDA20X5, mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers 157.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for short 5 mm movements in cell stacking or tabbing stations.
Its riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint. The bore is hard-anodized, and deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion. This SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic sensing.

Where the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X5 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Executes 5 mm precision indexing during lithium-ion cell stacking, using its 157.1 N push force to align delicate separators without crushing the winding.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides a short 5 mm stroke to hold battery tabs firmly in position during ultrasonic welding, where the compact riveted body minimizes interference with the welding head.
Module Handling Ejector
Pushes assembled battery modules out of a testing fixture, benefiting from the 131.9 N retract pull at 0.5 MPa to reset quickly for the next pack.
Is the Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X5 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, this 20 mm bore provides 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down, the SDA16 offers 100.5 N; stepping up, the SDA25 provides 245.4 N. A computed safe working load is roughly 94 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), translating to a vertical lift of approximately 8 kg with a 2:1 margin. Ensure your ordering essentials: 20 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female M4x0.7 rod thread, and no magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost—the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and does not lock the load, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if position holding is required.
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-SDA20X5 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 157.1 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, it provides 219.9 N push and 184.7 N pull. The theoretical maximum push force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix designates this as an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder, mechanically identical to the standard SDA20X5. This specific SKU does not include a piston magnet (no -S suffix), meaning it cannot be used with reed or electronic switches. Deceleration is handled solely by a fixed NBR bumper.
