Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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-SDA32X30SB
The B52-SDA32X30SB is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SDA32X30SB compact cylinder, designed for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. The B52- prefix marks this material restriction, though the exact substituted parts and grades should be confirmed with us before ordering. It remains a double-acting, single-rod compact cylinder with a short riveted body that saves axial mounting depth where a round-body cylinder will not fit.
With a 32mm bore, this unit delivers 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 563 N at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 12mm piston rod has a male M10x1.25 thread (the -B suffix), and the body carries magnetic-switch grooves that work with the built-in -S magnet for reed or electronic switches. A fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the stroke, but it is not an adjustable cushion or a locking device.

Where the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X30SB Is Used
Ammonia Refrigeration Valve Actuation
In ammonia-based cooling skids, the copper-free B52-SDA32X30SB actuates a 2-way shut-off valve stem. Its 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa overcomes the valve spring, while the 30mm stroke matches the lift height. The male M10x1.25 rod couples directly to a rod-end clevis without adapters.
Battery Cell Tab Forming Press
For a lithium-ion cell tab bending station, this cylinder provides 563 N push at 0.7 MPa to form a 0.2mm nickel tab. The compact riveted body fits between two guide rails where a round-body cylinder would exceed the 45mm centre distance. The -S magnet triggers a solid-state switch at full extension.
Chemical Dosing Pump Stroke Limiter
In a small chemical metering pump, the B52-SDA32X30SB positions a micrometer-style stop. The 30mm stroke adjusts the pump's displacement range, and the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end impact at 200 mm/s. The copper-free build prevents galvanic corrosion in the chlorine-dosing cabinet.
Is the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA32X30SB the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, compare the B52-SDA32X30SB against its neighbours: the smaller SDA25 bore delivers 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger SDA40 bore provides 628.3 N at the same pressure. If your load is around 241 N (about 60% of this cylinder's 402.1 N figure), the 32mm bore gives a comfortable safety margin; for vertical lifts, expect roughly 20.5 kg capacity with a 2:1 safety factor. The PT1/8 port is fixed by the bore size, and the male rod thread M10x1.25 is confirmed by the -B option.
Remember that this compact cylinder does not hold its position when air pressure is lost or the valve centres - the piston drifts, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates it near stroke end. If your application must hold a load without live pressure, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The standard 30mm stroke is well within the 130mm maximum for this bore, so no non-standard stroke flag applies.
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.

At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 345.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N and pull is 483.8 N. The theoretical maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa.
B52- marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SDA32X30SB, intended for lines where copper alloys are banned - confirm exact material substitutions with us. The -S suffix adds a built-in piston magnet for reed or electronic switches, and the -B suffix changes the rod end from the default female M6x1.0 to a male M10x1.25 thread.
