Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X40
The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X40 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø25mm bore and 40mm 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-ACQ25X40
The B01-ACQ25X40 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder delivering 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base ACQ25X40, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC line but grouped for specific customer builds.
This 25 mm bore unit features a 12 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 port. Its short C-clip and riveted body drastically reduce axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives. End-of-stroke energy is managed by a fixed TPU elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, so high-speed setups may need external shock absorption.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X40 Is Used
PCB Depaneling Router
Provides the 245.4 N extend force needed to actuate the cutting head plunge mechanism on printed circuit board routing machines.
Carton Flap Folder
Drives the folding arm on continuous motion packaging lines to tuck corrugated box flaps prior to tape sealing.
Lab Sample Dispenser
Actuates the metering valve on automated liquid handling stations where a 40 mm stroke precisely meters reagent volumes.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X40 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to a 20 mm bore yields 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push. This model ships without a sensor magnet but retains body grooves for adding reed or electronic switches later. It uses the default female rod-end thread (M6x1.0) and a 40 mm stroke. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding.
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-ACQ25X40 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 343.6 N. The maximum push force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) build that is mechanically identical to the standard ACQ25X40. It does not have adjustable air cushions; instead it uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end to absorb the stroke impact.
