The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X25S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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.
The AirTAC B01-ACQ32X25S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for tight axial spaces. The B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ32X25S, meaning it shares the exact same physical specifications while being grouped for specific industry builds. It delivers a robust 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 301.6 N pull force.
This 32 mm bore unit relies on a short C-clip and riveted body construction to minimize mounting depth. It features a 16 mm piston rod, a PT1/8 port, and a default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. Because this SKU includes the -S option, it contains a built-in piston magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves. End-stopping is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Uses the 402.1 N extend force to push separated circuit boards out of a routing fixture, where the 25 mm stroke keeps the overall machine profile extremely narrow.
Deploys the 16 mm rod to tuck top flaps on a packaging line, operating reliably at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s without needing adjustable air cushions.
Leverages the -S magnet and body grooves to trigger solid-state sensors, verifying piston position when diverting parts into specific bins.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the 25 mm bore if your load requires less energy, which provides a 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if your application demands greater thrust, the next size up is the 40 mm bore, yielding a 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Remember that a plain compact cylinder like this does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and the required -S magnet option.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 562.9 N, with a maximum push capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa and a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the ACQ32X25S; it is mechanically identical to the base model. It does not have adjustable air cushions; instead, it uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact. For high-speed or high-energy loads, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
