Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ32X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ32X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm stroke, PT1/8 air ports and a C-clip / riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Magnetic-switch slots around the body accept position sensors.

About the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ32X5
The AirTAC ACQ32X5 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for extremely short linear movements. It generates 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The body utilizes a C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod connection to minimize overall axial length, making it ideal for tight machine footprints where a round-body unit cannot fit.
This specific configuration features a 5 mm stroke, a 16 mm piston rod, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. The barrel incorporates grooves for mounting magnetic switches, though this particular model ships without the internal magnet. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb the end-stop impact.

Where the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ32X5 Is Used
Short-Stroke Valve Actuation
Drives process control valves in chemical dosing skids where only a 5 mm stroke is needed to open and close the flow path.
Package Sealing Jaws
Provides the 402.1 N of force required to momentarily close heat-sealing jaws on a continuous flow wrapper.
Ejector Confirmation
Verifies part ejection from a CNC machining center, using the compact 32 mm body to fit within the machine enclosure.
Is the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ32X5 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing your pneumatic drive, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. Keep in mind that a standard ACQ cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order this exact unit, confirm the 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short-body depth vs. a round-body cylinder
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ 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 Handle the C-clip carefully; seat it fully in its groove.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ32X5 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 562.9 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The standard stroke limit for this bore is 100 mm, and the operational speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
No, the ACQ32X5 uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end to decelerate the piston, which cannot be field-adjusted like an air cushion. Additionally, it does not feature a rod lock; the piston will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered.
