The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ63X100BH is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø63mm 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.
The AirTAC ACQ63X100BH is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder. A short C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod connection drastically reduces overall axial length compared to round-body units, saving valuable mounting depth. It delivers a substantial 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, operating at speeds from 30-500 mm/s.
This specific configuration includes a male M18x1.5 thread on the Ø20 mm piston rod for direct load coupling. The bore is hard-anodized for longevity, and the unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact. It is not equipped with a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves for future upgrades.

Provides robust 1558.6 N push force to eject dense plastic parts from injection molding dies, utilizing the 100 mm stroke to clear the mold cavity entirely.
Drives bearings or bushings into heavy machinery housings on an automated assembly line, where the male M18x1.5 rod end threads securely into the press tooling.
Folds large corrugated flaps on heavy-duty palletizing lines, requiring the high pulling force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa to tension and secure thick cardboard.
When sizing this 63 mm bore actuator, compare its 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa against the smaller Ø50 bore (981.8 N) for lighter duties, or step up to the Ø80 bore (2513.2 N) if your application demands greater thrust. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and no magnet.
Note that a standard ACQ body does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the directional valve is centered; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The pneumatic port size is PT1/4.
No. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact, which is not a field-adjustable air cushion. Additionally, this specific model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains grooves for adding AirTAC reed or electronic switches if retrofitted later.
