The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ40X75SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm 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-ACQ40X75SB is an AirTAC double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 40 mm bore and 75 mm stroke. The leading "B01-" prefix designates this as an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ40X75SB, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific use cases. It delivers a robust 628.3 N push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 527.8 N pull force.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing and a male-thread piston rod end (-B, M14x1.5) for direct load coupling. The short C-clip and riveted body design drastically reduces axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives. End-of-stroke energy is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, so high-speed operations may require external shock absorbers.

Provides 628.3 N of extension force to secure aluminum housings onto machining centers, utilizing the male M14x1.5 rod end for direct fixture attachment.
Drives folding mechanisms on corrugated box sealing lines where the 75 mm stroke and compact body depth prevent interference with passing conveyor traffic.
Pushes bearings into housings on automated assembly machinery, relying on the magnetic piston for reed or electronic switch feedback to verify insertion depth.
When sizing this 40 mm bore actuator, consider stepping down to the 32 mm bore (402.1 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or up to the 50 mm bore (981.8 N push @0.5 MPa) for higher force demands. Keep in mind that a standard ACQ body does not hold its position if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 40 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, built-in magnet (S), and male rod thread (B).
Quick checklist
This 40 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 628.3 N and a pull force of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879.6 N, with a maximum push capacity of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke for this bore size is 100 mm.
The B01- prefix simply indicates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ40X75SB, sharing the exact same physical specifications. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end stops, which are not field-adjustable like an air cushion. For high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber.
