Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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 B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10S
The B02-ACQ32X10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder delivering 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The leading "B02-" prefix marks this as AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X10S; mechanically, it shares the exact same physical specifications. Its short C-clip and riveted body design significantly reduces axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives, fitting neatly into tight robotic weld cells.
This unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. End-of-travel energy is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be added for high-speed operations. The 16 mm rod features a female M8x1.25 end thread, and the air connection is a PT1/8 port.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10S Is Used
Spot Weld Gun Clamping
Provides 402.1 N of extend force at 0.5 MPa to position and clamp lower gun arms in robotic spot welding fixtures.
Fixture Plate Indexing
Executes short 10 mm strokes to pin and release sliding fixture plates on welding line transfer conveyors.
Panel Ejection Station
Pushes welded automotive sub-panels out of the cell using a 16 mm rod, relying on the compact body to fit within the tight cell guard perimeter.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Ensure your ordering essentials match this SKU: 32 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female rod thread, and the -S magnet. Note that a standard compact cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and will not hold a load, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
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-ACQ32X10S FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B02- prefix designates this as a welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X10S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb the stroke impact, which is not field-adjustable; for high kinetic energy loads, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
