Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ40X80B
The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ40X80B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø40mm bore and 80mm 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.

About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ40X80B
The AirTAC B01-ACQ40X80B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder delivering 628.3 N of push force and 527.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ40X80B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but grouped for specific industry builds. Its short C-clip and riveted body construction significantly reduces axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives.
This specific unit features a 16 mm piston rod with a male M14x1.5 thread end to couple directly to your load, operating at speeds from 30-500 mm/s. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact. The body includes magnetic switch grooves, though this particular SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ40X80B Is Used
Package Diverting
Actuates routing gates on packaging lines, utilizing the 628.3 N push force to redirect cartons at high throughput speeds.
Injection Mould Ejection
Provides compact ejection force from tight machine footprints, using the male M14x1.5 rod to push finished plastic parts out of the mould cavity.
PCB Board Clamping
Secures delicate printed circuit boards during automated soldering or inspection, taking advantage of the short 80 mm stroke for rapid cycling.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ40X80B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore option, stepping down to a 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 981.8 N. Keep in mind that a standard 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 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, 80 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the male M14x1.5 rod thread (indicated by the B suffix). Because it lacks the S suffix, no sensor magnet is included.
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-ACQ40X80B FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628.3 N and the pull force is 527.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 879.6 N. The maximum push force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
The B01- prefix simply marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the ACQ40X80B; it shares the exact same physical specs as the base model. It does not have adjustable air cushions; it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-stop impact. For high-energy cycles, consider adding an external shock absorber.
