The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø25mm bore and 15mm 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.
The B01-ACQ25X15 is an AirTAC application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ25X15, sharing identical mechanics: a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder. It yields 245.4 N of push force and 188.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The short C-clip and riveted body design drastically reduce axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives.
This 25 mm bore unit features a 12 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 port. It relies on a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop energy rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Provides the precise 15 mm cutting stroke and 245.4 N extension force needed to plunge router bits into assembled circuit panels.
Actuates a short mechanical arm to tuck minor flaps on packaging lines, utilizing the space-saving short body to fit within tight conveyor frames.
Pushes processed vials out of a centrifuge carousel with controlled speed, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to soften the 15 mm end stop.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 20 mm bore reduces thrust to 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore increases it to 402.1 N. Note that a plain compact cylinder like this drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and will not lock the load. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and no magnet.
Quick checklist
This 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 30-500 mm/s within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
The B01- prefix designates an AirTAC application-dedicated (customer-specified) line that is mechanically identical to the ACQ25X15. While the body retains sensor grooves for reed or electronic switches, this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet, so external position sensing is not supported without modification.
