Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X100
The AirTAC ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø50mm bore and 100mm stroke, PT1/4 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 ACQ50X100
The AirTAC ACQ50X100 is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered to deliver 981.8 N of push force and 824.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short C-clip and riveted body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint.
This 50 mm bore unit features a 20 mm piston rod and a PT1/4 port. End-of-travel deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, meaning high-speed applications may need external shock absorbers. The body includes standard magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet.

Where the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X100 Is Used
Package Sortation Diverter
Drives a 100 mm stroke diverter arm on high-speed logistics conveyor lines to route medium-weight parcels into secondary chutes using 981.8 N of extending push force.
CNC Lathe Door Actuator
Opens and closes the safety guarding on a horizontal machining center, utilizing the compact C-clip body to minimize axial protrusion into the operator walkway.
Pallet Stretch Wrap Press
Applies downward clamping pressure on a film roll carriage in an automated pallet wrapping cell, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to soften the 100 mm full-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X100 the Right Cylinder?
Operating at its maximum standard stroke of 100 mm, this model provides 981.8 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 40 mm bore steps down to 628.3 N push, while the larger 63 mm bore steps up to 1558.6 N push. Remember that an unmodified ACQ cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the fixed NBR bumper only slows the piston near the end caps. For fail-safe position holding, integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. When requesting a quote, confirm the 50 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 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 ACQ50X100 FAQ
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 981.8 N push and 824.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No, the ACQ50X100 uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact energy; it is not equipped with an adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy loads, you should slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
