About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X5
The AirTAC B01-ACQ32X5 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for extremely short 5 mm travel distances. The B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ32X5, meaning it shares the exact same mechanical architecture while serving a specialized equipment role. It provides a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
This thin profile utilizes a C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly to minimize axial footprint, fitting easily into tight machine cavities where round bodies fail. The 32 mm bore features a 16 mm rod and a PT1/8 port. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb the end-of-stroke impact. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X5 Is Used
Micro-Clamping in CNC Fixtures
Ideal for locking small machined parts inside tight CNC workholding fixtures where a 5 mm stroke provides just enough grip without consuming valuable Z-axis clearance.
Electronic Component Ejector
Provides a short, precise 402.1 N push to eject printed circuit boards from test beds, utilizing the compact C-clip body to fit densely packed testing arrays.
Pneumatic Latch Release
Serves as a high-force short-travel release mechanism for automated safety latches on conveyor diverters, relying on fixed NBR bumpers to handle rapid cycling impacts.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X5 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to a 25 mm bore for 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, or up to a 40 mm bore for 628.3 N push if your application requires greater thrust. Because the 5 mm stroke is so brief, ensure your load coupling avoids side-loading forces on the 16 mm rod. For ordering, verify the 32 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and confirm no sensor magnet is required. If the machinery must maintain position during air loss, note that this cylinder will drift; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary for fail-safe holding.
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-ACQ32X5 FAQ
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 is 562.9 N, with a maximum push capacity 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 indicates an application-dedicated, customer-specified build of the standard ACQ32X5; mechanically, the dimensions, 16 mm rod, PT1/8 port, and forces are identical. It does not have adjustable air cushions; it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the stroke ends. For high-energy cycling, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
