About the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA20X30S
The B52-SDA20X30S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of the SDA20X30S compact cylinder, designed for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems and certain battery, electronics, and chemical plants. This double-acting single-rod unit delivers 157.1 N push and 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a theoretical max of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its short riveted body saves axial mounting depth where a round-body cylinder won't fit, and the hard-anodized bore ensures durability in tight spaces.
The B52- prefix indicates a copper-free build, but our data does not specify which parts are substituted or their material grades. For exact material details, please confirm with us. This model includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for AirTAC magnetic switches, which can be reed or electronic type. The fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the stroke end but is not an adjustable cushion, so add an external shock absorber for high-speed or high-energy applications.

Where the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA20X30S Is Used
Battery Cell Assembly
In battery production lines where copper is prohibited, this B52-SDA20X30S pushes 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa to position electrode tabs in stacking fixtures. The 30mm stroke fits tight cell-stacking modules, and the compact body saves axial depth in densely packed assembly stations.
Ammonia Test Rig
For ammonia-based refrigeration test benches, the copper-free B52-SDA20X30S actuates a small valve linkage with 131.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The M5x0.8 port connects easily to existing pneumatic lines, while the fixed NBR bumper handles the low-speed cycling without needing adjustment.
Electronics Conformal Coating
In PCB conformal coating machines, this cylinder with 30mm stroke and 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa drives a spray nozzle shuttle. The built-in magnet (-S) works with a reed or electronic switch for position feedback, and the copper-free build prevents contamination in solvent-rich environments.
Is the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA20X30S the Right Cylinder?
To size this B52-SDA20X30S, consider the next bore down: SDA16 delivers 100.5 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the next bore up, SDA25, provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. With a safe working load of about 94 N (roughly 60% of the 157.1 N figure), this cylinder suits light to medium duty. For a vertical lift, expect approximately 8 kg capacity with a 2:1 safety margin. Remember, a plain cylinder does not hold its load on air loss or when the valve is centered-the piston drifts. For holding applications, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Ordering essentials for this model: bore 20 mm, stroke 30 mm, port M5x0.8, magnet (S) included, rod thread female M4x0.7 (default). The rod is 8 mm. This model is within the max standard stroke of 100 mm, so it ships as a standard unit. The B52- prefix marks the copper-free build; confirm material substitutions with us before ordering for critical applications.
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.

B52- marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SDA20X30S, for lines where copper alloys are not allowed. Exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us. The fixed NBR bumper at each end only decelerates the stroke end-it is not an adjustable cushion or a lock. For high-speed applications, add an external shock absorber.
