Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA63X30S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA63X30S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 30mm stroke, PT1/4 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-SDA63X30S
The B52-SDA63X30S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SDA63X30S compact cylinder. This double-acting, single-rod unit delivers 1558.6 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it a solid mid-range actuator for industrial machinery. The leading 'B52-' prefix indicates a version where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, suitable for ammonia systems and certain battery, electronics, or chemical plants - confirm exact material substitutions with us before ordering.
Its short riveted body joins the barrel, rear cover, piston, and rod to minimize axial length, fitting where a round-body cylinder won't. The 20 mm rod with a PT1/4 port handles the work, while the fixed NBR bumper at each end decelerates the stroke - it's not an adjustable cushion. The -S magnet enables position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches via the body's sensor grooves.

Where the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA63X30S Is Used
Ammonia Plant Valve Actuation
In an ammonia refrigeration system where copper alloys corrode, this copper-free cylinder actuates a 2-inch isolation valve. Its 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa overcomes valve stem resistance, while the 30 mm stroke cycles the open/close position reliably.
Battery Cell Press Tamp
For a lithium-ion battery assembly line, the B52-SDA63X30S tamps electrode stacks into prismatic cans. The compact body fits between guide rails, and the 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa retracts the tamping head cleanly after each 30 mm press cycle.
Chemical Drum Lid Clamp
On a chemical packaging line, this cylinder clamps a 55-gallon drum lid during sealing. The 20 mm rod couples to a toggle clamp, and the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end stop at 300 mm/s, keeping the lid seated without an adjustable cushion.
Is the Airtac B52-SDA Non-Copper Ultra-Thin Cylinder B52-SDA63X30S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, the SDA50 (next bore down) produces 981.7 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the SDA80 (next bore up) delivers 2513.3 N at the same pressure. With the B52-SDA63X30S at 1558.6 N push, a safe working load is roughly 935 N (about 60% of the 0.5 MPa figure), or a vertical lift of ~79.4 kg with a 2:1 margin. Remember, this plain cylinder won't hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve centers - the piston drifts, and the bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For holding, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Ordering essentials: bore 63, stroke 30, port PT1/4, magnet (S) included, rod thread female M10x1.5 (or male M18x1.5 if specified).
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-SDA63X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 1558.6 N and pull is 1401.5 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 2182.1 N and pull to 1962.2 N. The theoretical maximum is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a proof pressure of 1.5 MPa, and speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build, for lines where copper alloys aren't allowed - like ammonia systems or some electronics plants. The exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us. The cylinder uses a fixed NBR bumper at each end, which decelerates the stroke but isn't adjustable or a lock - for high-speed impacts, add an external shock absorber.
