About the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ50X5
The AirTAC B01-ACQ50X5 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for short-stroke actuation. The leading B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the base ACQ50X5, meaning it shares the exact same physical specs while fulfilling specific industry requirements. It delivers a push force of 981.8 N and a pull force of 824.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
This 50 mm bore unit features a 20 mm piston rod and a PT1/4 port. The short C-clip and riveted body design significantly reduces axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives. 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 specific SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ50X5 Is Used
Stamping Pin Ejection
Ideal for punching machines needing a short 5 mm stroke to eject small metal pins with 981.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Carton Flap Folding
Provides rapid, compact actuation on packaging lines to fold heavy cardboard flaps prior to sealing, fitting into tight machine frames.
Component Seating
Used in assembly fixtures to press bushings or bearings into housings over a very short travel distance without occupying excessive axial depth.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQ Dedicated Pneumatic Cylinder B01-ACQ50X5 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields a 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore provides 1558.6 N. This 50 mm model strikes a balance for medium-force tasks. Remember that a plain compact cylinder like this does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the piston will drift. For fail-safe positioning, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 5 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and the absence of the sensor magnet.
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-ACQ50X5 FAQ
This 50 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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.
The B01- prefix simply indicates this is an application-dedicated (customer-specified) variant of the standard ACQ50X5, remaining mechanically identical. It does not have adjustable air cushions; it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to decelerate the piston near the stroke limits.
