About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X30
The AirTAC B01-ACQ25X30 is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ25X30, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It delivers a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 12 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 port.
This thin profile unit features a C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly to minimize axial footprint where space is tight. Deceleration at the stroke ends relies on a fixed TPU elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy cycles. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X30 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Ejector
Provides a precise 30 mm stroke to push singulated circuit boards out of a routing fixture, utilizing the 245.4 N push force to overcome friction without damaging the substrate.
Carton Flap Folder
Actuates a short mechanical arm to tuck minor flaps on small packaging lines, where the compact C-clip body saves valuable axial depth inside the machine frame.
Electronic Component Sorter
Diverts small electronic parts down a specific chute using a 30 mm stroke, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to absorb the stop energy quietly in a clean environment.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X30 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 245.4 N push, making it suitable for moderate load movement within a tight 30 mm stroke. The maximum standard stroke for this bore size is 100 mm.
To configure your order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 PT port, and the default female M6x1.0 rod-end thread. Note that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near the end of travel 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-ACQ25X30 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245.4 N and the pull force is 188.9 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 343.6 N. The maximum push force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with an operating speed of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ25X30; mechanically, it shares the exact same specs, seals, and dimensions. This specific SKU ships without an internal magnet, but the body retains the grooves for AirTAC reed or electronic switches if you later require position feedback.
