The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X30S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 AirTAC B01-ACQ25X30S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ25X30S, meaning it shares the exact same mechanical architecture and physical footprint while serving a specific industry need. It generates 245.4 N of push force and 188.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This model features a 12 mm piston rod and a C-clip/riveted body that drastically reduces overall length compared to round-body alternatives. End-of-stroke energy is managed by a fixed TPU elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, making it ideal for predictable, short-stroke movements. The built-in piston magnet (-S) enables position detection via AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves.

Provides the precise 30 mm linear push to separate routed circuit boards, utilizing the 245.4 N extend force to cleanly break panels without stressing adjacent components.
Actuates folding arms on a packaging line to tuck corrugated box flaps, where the short JIS compact body saves valuable mounting depth along the conveyor frame.
Drives a metered fluid valve downward for chemical dosing, relying on the integrated magnet to trigger an electronic switch at the exact bottom position for repeatable shot volumes.
When sizing this 25 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 20 mm version if your load requires less force (157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa), or stepping up to the 32 mm bore for heavier payloads (402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa). Keep in mind that a plain compact cylinder like this does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
To order, confirm the 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, default female rod-end thread (M6x1.0), and the required -S magnet for switch sensing. The operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
Quick checklist
This double-acting 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. The maximum standard stroke available for the 25 mm bore is 100 mm.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the ACQ25X30S, mechanically identical to the base model. It uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end stops; it is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber or slow the approach.
