The AirTAC Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA25X25B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 25mm 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-SDA25X25B 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 base SDA25X25B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but earmarked for cell, module, and pack assembly applications. It delivers a robust 245.4 N push force at 0.5 MPa, providing a safe working load of roughly 147 N or a 12.5 kg vertical lift with a 2:1 safety margin.
This unit features a male M8x1.25 piston rod thread (denoted by the B option) for secure mechanical coupling, alongside a 10 mm rod diameter and an M5x0.8 air port. Its short riveted body drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint. The bore is hard-anodized, and deceleration at stroke ends is handled by a fixed NBR bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic position sensing without the -S option.

Provides precise 25 mm linear actuation for aligning and stacking prismatic lithium-ion battery cells, utilizing its 245.4 N push force to seat components firmly without damaging delicate cell housings.
Applies consistent clamping pressure on battery module busbars during ultrasonic welding, leveraging the male M8x1.25 rod thread to secure custom welding fixtures while saving axial machine depth.
Pushes and positions empty or filled battery pack trays within conveyor routing stations, where the compact riveted body allows for tight mounting clearances in high-density automation cells.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force requirements carefully. If you need less thrust, stepping down to the SDA20 bore provides 157.1 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the SDA32 bore yields 402.1 N at the same pressure. For this 25 mm bore, the standard stroke limit extends to 130 mm, making the 25 mm stroke here well within standard operating parameters. To finalize your order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M8x1.25 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard double-acting cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the piston will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the load near the stroke end rather than locking it. If your battery-handling process requires strict position holding without live pressure, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 343.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 50 kgf at the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
The B06- prefix simply indicates that this SDA25X25B model is dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications; it shares the exact same physical specs as the base SDA series. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. For high-energy or high-speed battery-handling cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
