About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X30
The AirTAC B01-ACQ32X30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for space-constrained machinery. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ32X30, meaning it shares the exact same physical specifications while being grouped for specific industrial deployments. Delivering 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, it provides robust actuation in a minimal footprint.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 16 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port. Axial length is minimized through a C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly, allowing installation where round-body cylinders cannot fit. Deceleration at stroke ends relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X30 Is Used
PCB Handling Conveyors
Ideal for pop-up transfer gates in SMT lines, using the 402.1 N extend force to lift and redirect circuit boards within tight machine enclosures.
Carton Flap Folding
Drives mechanical folders on vertical form-fill-seal equipment, where the short 30 mm stroke rapidly tucks flaps prior to sealing.
Small Part Ejection
Ejects machined aluminum components from CNC fixtures, utilizing the 16 mm rod and compact C-clip body to fit closely beside the spindle.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the 25 mm bore if your load requires less energy, which provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands greater thrust, the next size up is the 40 mm bore, yielding 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Remember that a plain compact cylinder like this drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only slows the piston near the end of travel and does not lock the load. For fail-safe position holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
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-ACQ32X30 FAQ
This 32 mm bore 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 between 0.15-1.0 MPa, handles speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and functions in temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
The B01- prefix simply indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified build of the standard ACQ32X30; mechanically, it is identical to the base model. It does not feature adjustable air cushions; instead, it uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb the stop. For high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber.
