The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ50X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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-ACQ50X30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for space-constrained pneumatics. The leading B01- prefix designates this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQ50X30, meaning it shares the exact same physical footprint and mechanics while serving a specialized industry grouping. It yields 981.8 N of push force and 824.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This thin profile is achieved via a C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly that minimizes overall length compared to round-body alternatives. The 50 mm bore features a 20 mm piston rod, a PT1/4 port, and a default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread. End-of-stroke energy is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, so operators should utilize external shock absorbers for high-speed cycling.

Secures aluminum engine blocks during machining operations, utilizing the 981.8 N extend force to maintain rigid positioning against cutting vibrations.
Drives mechanical arms to tuck corrugated box flaps prior to tape sealing, where the 30 mm stroke provides rapid and precise movement within tight packaging machinery frames.
Actuates routing gates on logistics conveyor lines to direct parcels, benefiting from the short C-clip body design that minimizes axial mounting depth along the belt structure.
When sizing this unit, consider stepping down to the 40 mm bore for lighter loads, which provides 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the 63 mm bore for heavier tasks that demand 1558.6 N. To verify your ordering essentials for this 30 mm stroke configuration: confirm the 50 mm bore, PT1/4 port, and the default female M10x1.5 rod thread. This unit ships without a sensor magnet.
Remember 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 NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end rather than locking it. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve must be integrated into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 50 mm bore cylinder generates 981.8 N of push force and 824.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, 1374.4 N of push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 200 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 variant of the ACQ50X30, mechanically identical to the base model. It does not have adjustable air cushions; instead, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-stop impact. For high-energy cycles, external shock absorption is recommended.
