The AirTAC Airtac B06-SDA Battery Dedicated Cylinder B06-SDA25X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø25mm 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-SDA25X5 is a double-acting single-rod compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. The leading "B06-" prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SDA25X5, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but designated for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. It provides a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 206.2 N at 0.5 MPa, operating within a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
This unit features a 10 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 air port. Because it uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, it decelerates the stroke end without requiring field tuning. The short 5 mm stroke and riveted body drastically reduce overall mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, making it ideal for high-density battery handling. Note that this specific SKU lacks a piston magnet, so it cannot support magnetic position sensing without upgrading to the -S variant.

Thread: PT standard. Related SDA-family variants: SSA (single-acting push), STA (single-acting pull), SDAD (double rod), SDAJ (adjustable stroke), SDAT (duplex), SDAW (duplex-end).
Provides precise 5 mm indexing pressure for lithium-ion prismatic cell stacking machines, ensuring alignment without crushing delicate cell casings.
Clamps busbars and interconnects during ultrasonic wire bonding or laser welding on battery module assembly lines, absorbing vibration via the fixed NBR bumper.
Pushes pouch cells into testing trays or packaging fixtures within compact machinery footprints where standard profile cylinders would exceed the available axial depth.
When sizing this actuator, evaluate your force margins carefully. Stepping down to the SDA20 reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 157.1 N, while stepping up to the SDA32 increases it to 402.1 N. Based on the 245.4 N output at 0.5 MPa, the safe working load is approximately 147 N (about 60% capacity), which translates to a vertical lift capability of roughly 12.5 kg with a 2:1 safety margin. Confirm your ordering essentials: 25 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod-end thread (M5x0.8), and no magnet. If your battery assembly process must hold a load vertically without live air pressure, note that a plain SDA cylinder will drift; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for secure position holding.
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 force is 343.6 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
The B06- prefix designates this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line of the SDA25X5; it shares the exact same physical specs as the base model. It does not have an adjustable air cushion, relying instead on a fixed NBR bumper at each end to decelerate the stroke. Additionally, this SKU does not include a piston magnet, so it cannot be used with reed or electronic switches unless upgraded to the -S option.
