Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X25S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X25S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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 ACQ50X25S
The AirTAC ACQ50X25S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces, delivering 981.8 N of push force and 824.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short C-clip and riveted body construction significantly reduces overall depth compared to traditional round-body alternatives, making it ideal for shrinking machine footprints.
This 50 mm bore variant features a 20 mm piston rod, a PT1/4 port, and a factory-installed magnet for position sensing. The integrated magnetic band accepts AirTAC reed or electronic switches to track the 25 mm travel. End-of-stroke energy is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable cushions, so high-speed cycles may require external shock absorption.

Where the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X25S Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides compact ejection force for plastic injection molds where 981.8 N of push clears finished parts from deep cavities within a tight tooling envelope.
Package Divert Arms
Drives short 25 mm diverting gates on logistics conveyor lines, using the integrated magnet to trigger solid-state switches for precise package routing.
Press Sub-Assembly
Actuates secondary clamping or positioning pins on metal stamping presses, saving machine depth while handling the 824.6 N pull requirement.
Is the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ50X25S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, the 40 mm bore offers a smaller footprint with 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N push for heavier demands. To confirm the correct ordering details for your build, verify the 50 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the required -S magnet option.
Note that a standard ACQ body will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod drifts until the bumper arrests it. For fail-safe vertical positioning, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
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 ACQ50X25S FAQ
The 50 mm bore generates 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, runs at 30-500 mm/s, and functions in -20 to +70 C temperatures.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end to absorb impact, which are not adjustable, so high energy cycles may need external shock absorbers. The -S option includes a built-in magnet that works with AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves.
