About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X40
The AirTAC B01-ACQ32X40 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 40mm stroke. The leading "B01-" prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ32X40, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific use cases. It utilizes a short C-clip and riveted body design that significantly reduces axial length compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable machine footprint.
Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa, it generates 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The hard-anodized aluminum bore houses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact—note this is not a field-adjustable air cushion. The 16mm piston rod features a default female M8x1.25 thread, and the body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X40 Is Used
Package Diverting
Ideal for pushing small to medium parcels onto secondary conveyor lanes in sorting facilities, utilizing the 40mm stroke and 402.1 N extend force to positively redirect items without excessive axial depth.
Carton Flap Folding
Provides the precise linear motion needed to fold minor carton flaps prior to sealing in continuous packaging lines, where the fixed NBR bumper reliably absorbs the 30-500 mm/s end stop without external adjustment.
Component Ejection
Serves well in light manufacturing to eject molded or stamped parts from a press bed, using the 301.6 N retract force to pull the component clear of the tooling before the next cycle begins.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore model, consider stepping down to the 25mm bore if your load requires less force, which provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if your application demands more power, the next size up is the 40mm bore, delivering 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This B01-ACQ32X40 features a 40mm stroke, a PT1/8 port, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
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, and the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
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-ACQ32X40 FAQ
The B01-ACQ32X40 is a 32mm bore, double-acting cylinder. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 562.9 N, and the maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and has a maximum standard stroke of 100 mm.
The "B01-" prefix simply indicates this is an AirTAC application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the ACQ32X40; mechanically, it shares the exact same physical specs as the base model. Regarding end-stop absorption, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable—if your cycle runs at high speed or energy, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach.
