The AirTAC Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA40X100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 100mm 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.
The B52-SDA40X100S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SDA40X100S compact double-acting cylinder. The leading 'B52-' prefix designates a version where copper and copper alloys are not permitted in construction, making it suitable for ammonia systems and certain battery, electronics, and chemical plants. All performance figures match the standard SDA40X100S; the exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us.
This 40mm bore unit delivers 628.3 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (879.6 N at 0.7 MPa) from a short riveted body that saves axial mounting depth compared to round-body cylinders. The 16mm rod with M8x1.25 female thread couples directly to your tooling, while the fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the stroke-it is not an adjustable cushion, so plan for external shock absorption at high speeds.

Use the 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa to gently seat battery cell terminals in a copper-free assembly line, where the B52- build prevents contamination and the compact body fits between conveyor rails.
Actuate a small chemical dosing valve in an ammonia-handling skid, where the copper-free construction is required and the 100mm stroke provides enough travel for full valve opening at 30-500 mm/s.
Push completed PCB trays off a staging station in a clean electronics plant, using the 527.8 N retract force at 0.5 MPa to pull the rod back quickly and the compact depth to fit under the work surface.
Step down to the SDA32 for 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa if your application needs less force and a smaller footprint. Step up to the SDA50 for 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa when you need nearly double the thrust without changing port size significantly (PT1/4 vs PT1/8).
For this B52-SDA40X100S, confirm your ordering essentials: bore 40mm, stroke 100mm, PT1/8 port, the -S magnet for reed or electronic switches, and the female M8x1.25 rod thread. Remember, a plain SDA does not hold its load when air pressure is lost-the piston drifts. For vertical lifting or position holding, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 628.3 N and pull force is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, push force is 879.6 N and pull force is 738.9 N. The theoretical maximum push force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
B52- marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SDA40X100S. It is designed for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems and some battery or chemical plants. The exact material substitutions are not listed in our data-please confirm them with us before ordering.
