About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X50
The B01-ACQ32X50 is an application-dedicated variant of the standard AirTAC ACQ32X50, meaning it shares the exact same mechanical architecture while serving a customer-specified role. It is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder that provides 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The short C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly drastically reduce overall axial length compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable mounting depth.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 50 mm stroke, well within the 100 mm standard limit for this size. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, which absorbs end-stop impact but is not a field-adjustable cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet. A 16 mm piston rod with a female M8x1.25 thread couples directly to your load via a PT1/8 air port.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X50 Is Used
Package Diverting
Deploys a routing flap on a packaging conveyor to push parcels weighing up to 40 kg onto secondary chutes using 402.1 N of extend force.
PCB Edge Clamping
Secures printed circuit board panels inside a drilling machine, utilizing the 50 mm stroke to position the 16 mm rod precisely before machining.
Textile Loom Tensioning
Adjusts a tensioning roller on an industrial weaving loom, maintaining fabric tightness with 301.6 N of retract force within a tight machinery footprint.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ32X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the 25 mm bore if your load requires less force, as it yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands more power, the 40 mm bore offers 628.3 N push at the same pressure. Remember that a plain compact cylinder like this does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
To order, confirm the essentials: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread. This model lacks the internal sensor magnet, so position detection is not possible without modifying the build. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
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-ACQ32X50 FAQ
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated, customer-specified line of the base ACQ32X50, with identical mechanical specs. At 0.5 MPa it generates 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 562.9 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the stroke ends, which are not field-adjustable air cushions. For high-speed cycles, add an external shock absorber. Additionally, this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet, so it cannot trigger AirTAC reed or electronic switches without modification.
