Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X10
The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø25mm bore and 10mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X10
The AirTAC B01-ACQ25X10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 10 mm stroke. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ25X10, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific customer builds. It delivers a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa.
The short C-clip and riveted body design drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives. This specific unit ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for future upgrades. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the 12 mm piston rod features a standard female M6x1.0 thread for direct load coupling.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X10 Is Used
PCB Edge Guiding
Ideal for fine electronic assembly lines where the 10 mm stroke shifts printed circuit boards laterally with 245.4 N of extend force without consuming valuable machine length.
Film Seal Jaws
Provides a short, precise tapping motion on vertical form-fill-seal packaging equipment, using its compact footprint to fit between forming tubes and film webs.
Small Part Ejection
Pushes lightweight molded plastic parts out of a machining center using a rapid 10 mm extension, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to absorb the rapid end stop.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 20 mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 157.1 N, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore increases it to 402.1 N. This 25 mm bore provides a balanced middle ground for compact assemblies. To configure correctly, confirm the 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female rod thread, and the absence of the S magnet option. Note that a plain compact cylinder like this drifts if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed TPU bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and does not lock the load. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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-ACQ25X10 FAQ
This 25 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343.6 N, with a maximum push capacity of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at pressures from 0.15-1.0 MPa and speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ25X10, with no mechanical changes to the bore, stroke, or force. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact. For high-speed applications, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach.
