The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ25X50 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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-ACQ25X50 is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder. The leading B01- prefix denotes AirTAC's application-dedicated (customer-specified) line, meaning this unit is mechanically identical to the base ACQ25X50. It generates 245.4 N of push force and 188.9 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 12 mm piston rod and an M5x0.8 port.
This 25 mm bore model features a short C-clip and riveted body design that drastically reduces axial mounting depth compared to round-body alternatives. Deceleration at stroke ends relies on a fixed TPU elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy cycles. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). Related ACQ-family variants: ASQ (single-acting push), ATQ (single-acting pull), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke), TACQ (guided / non-rotating).
Provides the 245.4 N push force needed to clamp populated circuit boards securely during high-speed router cutting operations.
Extends 50 mm to tuck minor flaps on small packaging lines, fitting neatly into tight machine frames thanks to the short C-clip body.
Pushes empty component trays into position using a female M6x1.0 rod thread, relying on the fixed TPU bumper to soften end stops.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 20 mm bore yields 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. This 25 mm option sits perfectly in the middle for medium-light handling tasks. To order, confirm the 50 mm stroke, female M6x1.0 rod end thread, and PT port thread. Because a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost, applications requiring fail-safe load holding will need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore cylinder provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 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 a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates this is an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the ACQ25X50, sharing the exact same physical specs. It does not have adjustable air cushions; instead, it uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact. Additionally, this model ships without a sensor magnet.
