About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ20X10S
The B01-ACQ20X10S is an AirTAC application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ20X10S, sharing identical mechanics: a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix simply groups this into a dedicated line for specific industry builds without altering any physical specs. It utilizes a short C-clip and riveted body design to drastically reduce axial footprint versus round-body alternatives.
Delivering 157.1 N of push force and 117.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, this 20mm bore unit is built for tight spaces. It features a 10mm stroke, a 10mm piston rod, and an M5x0.8 female rod-end thread. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ20X10S Is Used
PCB Pick-and-Place
Ideal for electronics assembly robots needing a short 10mm stroke to pluck delicate components from tapes, utilizing the 157.1 N push force without consuming excessive Z-axis height.
Carton Flap Folding
Provides just enough targeted linear motion to tuck small packaging flaps on automated filling lines, where the compact C-clip body minimizes interference with adjacent conveyor tooling.
Lab Dispenser Actuation
Drives precision fluid dispensing heads in analytical instruments, benefiting from the 30-500 mm/s speed range and the TPU bumper to quietly absorb the micro-impact at stroke end.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ20X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the 16mm bore (100.5 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to the 25mm bore (245.4 N push @0.5 MPa) if your application requires greater thrust. Keep in mind that a plain ACQ body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
To order, confirm your essentials: 20mm bore, 10mm stroke, M5x0.8 port (PT thread form), the built-in magnet (-S), and the default female M5x0.8 rod-end thread.
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 B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ20X10S FAQ
This 20mm bore cylinder provides 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and has a maximum standard stroke of 100 mm.
The B01- prefix denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base ACQ20X10S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. It does not have adjustable air cushions; it uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end. The -S suffix adds a magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches.
