About the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10
The B02-ACQ32X10 is a double-acting JIS compact air cylinder engineered for welding-line automation, mechanically identical to the standard ACQ32X10. The B02- prefix simply designates its application focus for spot and robot welding cells. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa.
This model features a 16 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port. The short C-clip and riveted body design drastically reduces overall axial length compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable mounting depth in tight fixture spaces. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end stops rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10 Is Used
Robot Welding Cell Clamping
Secures mild steel brackets in a robotic MIG welding cell. The 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa provides rigid fixturing against weld spatter and distortion without shifting the part.
Spot Weld Gun Actuation
Drives the lower arm of a resistance spot weld gun for automotive body-in-white assembly. The 10 mm short stroke minimizes cycle time and reduces overall gun head depth.
Fixture Plate Positioning
Indexes a pneumatic locating pin on a multi-station welding line. The compact C-clip body fits within the tight clearance of the tooling plate, saving axial footprint.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing your fixture, consider stepping down to a 25 mm bore (providing 245.4 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter clamping, or moving up to a 40 mm bore (628.3 N push @0.5 MPa) if you need heavier holding power. This 32 mm bore strikes a balance for mid-tier weldment clamping.
Confirm your ordering essentials: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod-end thread (M8x1.25), and no sensor magnet. Note that a plain ACQ cylinder will drift and lose its position if air pressure drops; the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a lock. For fail-safe holding of a vertical weldment, specify an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10 FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 562.9 N, with a maximum push capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
The B02- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X10; mechanically, the dimensions, seals, and materials are exactly the same as the base model. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions, so for high-energy welding automation you may need external shock absorbers to slow the approach.
