The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ50X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and a C-clip / riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Magnetic-switch slots around the body accept position sensors.
The AirTAC B01-ACQ50X10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for space-constrained machinery. The leading B01- prefix denotes an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base ACQ50X10, meaning it shares the exact same physical specs while fulfilling specific industry requirements. It yields 981.8 N of push force and 824.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This 50 mm bore unit features a 20 mm piston rod and a PT1/4 port. Its 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 cushions, so high velocity loads may require external shock absorption.

Uses the 981.8 N extend force to kick stamped metal blanks out of a die quickly over the 10 mm travel distance.
Provides a short 10 mm stroke to tuck packaging flaps on a high-speed boxing line without taking up excessive frame depth.
Presses bearings or pins into housings on an assembly carousel using its 0.7 MPa 1374.4 N thrust capability.
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the 40 mm bore for lighter duties, which provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the 63 mm bore for heavier loads, offering 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa. This specific 10 mm stroke model is optimal for very short clamping or ejecting motions within a tight machine envelope.
Be aware that a standard compact cylinder like this drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it. For fail-safe position holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. To order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates a push force of 981.8 N and a pull force of 824.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374.4 N. The maximum push force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
The B01- prefix indicates this is an application-dedicated (customer-specified) build of the standard ACQ50X10, remaining mechanically identical to the base model. This specific configuration ships without a sensor magnet (-S), but the body retains the grooves for adding AirTAC reed or electronic switches if needed.
