About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X100S
The B01-ACQ32X100S is an AirTAC double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ32X100S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model while grouped for specific industry builds. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 16 mm piston rod.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing with AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves. The short C-clip and riveted body design minimizes axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives. End-stopping relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so high-energy cycles may require external shock absorption.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X100S Is Used
Package Diverting
Actuates routing gates on logistics conveyors, using the 100 mm stroke to push parcels cleanly between sorting lanes at mid-range force.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives mechanical arms to tuck minor flaps on corrugated carton erectors, benefiting from the space-saving JIS compact body.
Component Ejection
Pushes molded plastic parts out of small injection mold cavities, relying on the 402.1 N extend force to break the part free.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore model, stepping down to a 25 mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.4 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore increases it to 628.3 N. This cylinder uses a PT1/8 port, a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and operates across a 30-500 mm/s speed range. Ensure you specify the 100 mm stroke, the -S magnet option, and the female rod thread when ordering.
Note that a standard compact cylinder like this does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. If your application requires a fail-safe load hold, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic circuit.
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-ACQ32X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402.1 N and the pull force is 301.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 562.9 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified grouping of the standard ACQ32X100S; it shares the exact same physical specs. It does not have adjustable air cushions; instead, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impacts.
