The AirTAC Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA20X5B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 5mm stroke, M5×0.8 air ports and a riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Sensor slots around the body accept magnetic switches for position sensing.
The AirTAC B06-SDA20X5B is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard SDA20X5B, 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, making it well-suited for short 5 mm positioning tasks in cell or module assembly.
This unit features a male M6x1.0 piston rod thread (denoted by the B option) for secure mechanical coupling to tooling. Its short riveted body minimizes axial mounting depth where a round-body actuator would be too bulky. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, which decelerates the stroke end but requires an external shock absorber for high-energy cycles.

Executes 5 mm precision indexing during lithium-ion cell stacking and alignment, utilizing the compact riveted body to fit densely packed production machinery.
Applies 157.1 N of clamping thrust at 0.5 MPa to hold battery module interconnects flat during ultrasonic welding processes.
Drives short 5 mm ejector pins in high-speed pouch cell transfer stations, using the male M6x1.0 rod end for rapid tooling changes.
When sizing this 20 mm bore actuator, evaluate your force requirements bidirectionally: stepping down to the SDA16 yields 100.5 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the SDA25 provides 245.4 N. For the current bore, the computed safe working load is approximately 94 N (about 60% of the 157.1 N figure at 0.5 MPa), translating to a vertical lift capacity of roughly 8 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 20 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M6x1.0 rod thread, and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the stroke end and does not function as a lock. To hold a vertical load securely without live pressure, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
This 20 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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, with an operating pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B06- prefix indicates this unit is part of the battery-manufacturing dedicated line, though mechanically it is identical to the standard SDA20X5B. This specific SKU lacks the S option, meaning it has no piston magnet and cannot accept AirTAC reed or electronic switches; order the -S variant if position sensing is required.
