Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X15
The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm stroke, PT1/8 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-ACQ32X15
The AirTAC B01-ACQ32X15 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for space-constrained pneumatics. The B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ32X15, retaining exact mechanical parity with the base model. It yields 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. A short C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly minimize overall axial length, fitting where round-body units cannot.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 16 mm piston rod and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread for straightforward load coupling. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning 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. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X15 Is Used
PCB Router Clamping
Secures printed circuit board panels against a router bed during depaneling, utilizing the 15 mm stroke to quickly lock and release the substrate without consuming excessive Z-axis height.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives a short mechanical arm to tuck minor flaps on corrugated cartons prior to tape sealing, taking advantage of the 402.1 N thrust to overcome board stiffness reliably.
Electronic Component Ejector
Pushes tested connectors or microchips out of an inspection nest in automated test handlers, using the compact body to fit densely packed testing machinery.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N, letting you tune thrust precisely to your fixture. To confirm your ordering essentials for this part: verify the 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end and will not lock the load. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if your process requires fail-safe position 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-ACQ32X15 FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified build that is mechanically identical to the standard ACQ32X15. It does not have adjustable air cushions; stopping is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends. For high kinetic energy loads, slow the approach speed or add external shock absorbers.
