Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X120B
The AirTAC Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X120B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 120mm stroke, PT1/8 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-SDA32X120B
The B52-SDA32X120B is the copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of AirTAC's SDA32X120B compact cylinder. Its short riveted body joins barrel, covers, piston and rod to save axial depth where a round-body cylinder won't fit. This double-acting unit delivers 402.1 N push and 345.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a 12 mm rod and PT1/8 port.
The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free construction for lines where copper alloys are banned, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. The fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the stroke end but is not adjustable and not a lock. The male-thread M10x1.25 rod end couples directly to your tooling, but avoid side loads on this short rod.

Where the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X120B Is Used
Battery Tab Forming
In a lithium-cell tab-forming press, this 120 mm stroke unit pushes a forming die with 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. The copper-free build suits the electrolyte area where copper contamination is prohibited, and the compact body fits the tight press frame.
Ammonia Test Rig
For a lab rig cycling ammonia-compatible valves, the B52 prefix avoids copper alloys that would corrode. The 12 mm rod and PT1/8 port simplify plumbing, while the fixed NBR bumper handles the 30-500 mm/s cycle speed without adjustment.
Chemical Dosing Gate
On a chemical dosing line, this cylinder shifts a small diverter gate through 120 mm. The male M10x1.25 rod end mounts a clevis directly, and the copper-free body prevents contamination in the process stream. The short riveted design keeps the actuator within the machine envelope.
Is the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X120B the Right Cylinder?
Step down to the SDA25 for 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa if your load allows, or step up to the SDA40 for 628.3 N at the same pressure. A safe working load near 241 N (about 60% of the 402.1 N figure) leaves margin for acceleration and misalignment. This SKU has no piston magnet, so it cannot accept a magnetic switch; choose the -S variant if you need reed or electronic sensing. The male-thread rod end is set by the -B suffix, and the PT1/8 port is fixed by the 32 mm bore. Remember a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the load must hold position.
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.
Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X120B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 402.1 N and pull is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 563 N and pull to 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These figures apply to the double-acting single-rod design, so extend force always exceeds retract force.
B52- marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SDA32X120B, for lines where copper alloys are not allowed. The exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end that only decelerates the stroke end; it is not an adjustable cushion and cannot hold a load without air pressure.
