The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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-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.

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).
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.
Drives mechanical folders on vertical form-fill-seal equipment, where the short 30 mm stroke rapidly tucks flaps prior to sealing.
Ejects machined aluminum components from CNC fixtures, utilizing the 16 mm rod and compact C-clip body to fit closely beside the spindle.
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
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.
