The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X30S 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 B01-ACQ32X30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ32X30S, meaning it shares the exact same physical specifications while catering to specific industry builds. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. The short C-clip and riveted body design significantly reduces axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing using AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, which is not field-adjustable. Operating at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s, it utilizes a 16 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port.

Actuates routing gates on packaging conveyors where 402.1 N of push force reliably redirects parcels up to 82 kgf under maximum pressure.
Ejects stamped metal or plastic parts from a die, utilizing the 30 mm stroke and fixed NBR bumper to absorb end-stop impact without adjustable cushions.
Secures circuit boards during automated soldering or inspection, using the built-in magnet to confirm clamp engagement via electronic sensors.
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to the 25 mm bore for lighter loads, offering 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up to the 40 mm bore which provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa for higher force requirements. To confirm your ordering essentials for this application-dedicated variant: verify the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and the required -S magnet for switch readiness.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder like this does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. If your application requires a fail-safe load hold, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve must be integrated into the pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
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 increases to 562.9 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the ACQ32X30S, mechanically identical to the base model with no changes to dimensions or force. Regarding end-stop damping, it uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
