Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA16X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA16X30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 30mm 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.

About the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA16X30SB
The B52-SDA16X30SB is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of the SDA16X30SB compact cylinder, built for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted-such as ammonia systems and certain battery, electronics, or chemical plants. This double-acting single-rod unit delivers 100.5 N push and 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a 30 mm stroke in a short riveted body that saves axial mounting depth where a round-body cylinder will not fit.
The leading "B52-" prefix marks the copper-free build; the exact material substitutions are not in our data, so confirm those details with us before ordering. The bore is hard-anodized, the piston rod is 6 mm with a male M5x0.8 thread (the -B suffix), and the air port is M5x0.8. A fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the stroke-it is not an adjustable cushion, so for high-speed impacts add an external shock absorber.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 86 N |

Where the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA16X30SB Is Used
Battery Cell Tab Press
Use the 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa to press thin battery cell tabs onto a fixture in a dry room. The 30 mm stroke suits the short travel, and the copper-free build avoids contamination where copper is prohibited.
Ammonia Analyzer Valve
Drive a small sampling valve in an ammonia-based process line. The copper-free construction is specified for such systems, and the 86.4 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the valve stem reliably. Confirm material substitutions with us for your exact media.
Electronics PCB Stoppers
Actuate a light stopper on a PCB conveyor in an electronics plant. The 30 mm stroke and 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa are enough to halt a light carrier, while the compact body fits tight spaces between stations.
Is the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA16X30SB the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the SDA12 for lighter duty: it pushes 56.5 N at 0.5 MPa. Step up to the SDA20 for more force: it pushes 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa. For this B52-SDA16X30SB, confirm the bore (16 mm), stroke (30 mm), port (M5x0.8), the -S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and the male rod thread. A plain cylinder does not hold its load when air is lost or the valve is centred-the piston drifts, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end. If the application must hold a load without live pressure, add an external rod lock or a 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.
