Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X15S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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-ACQ32X15S
The B02-ACQ32X15S 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 base ACQ32X15S; mechanically, it shares the exact same physical specs, including a 16 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port. This short 15 mm stroke unit uses a C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly to minimize overall axial length, saving valuable mounting depth in tight robotic weld cells.
Because this unit includes the S option, it features a built-in piston magnet for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating speed spans 30-500 mm/s, and buyers should note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost, requiring an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X15S Is Used
Spot Weld Gun Clamping
Provides 402.1 N of extend force to position and hold lower gun arms in robotic spot welding fixtures, utilizing the 15 mm short stroke to save axial depth in compact tooling.
Fixture Plate Ejection
Ejects completed welded sub-assemblies from stationary platens, where the fixed NBR bumper absorbs the end stop energy without needing external cushioning valves.
Transfer Line Positioning
Shifts small parts between welding stations on walking-beam conveyors, using the integrated S magnet to trigger reed or electronic switches for cycle confirmation.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. Confirm your ordering essentials for this SKU: 32 mm bore, 15 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod end, and the built-in S magnet for switch readiness. Ensure side loading is minimized on the compact rod to prevent premature seal wear.
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-ACQ32X15S 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. The B02- prefix simply denotes the welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X15S, sharing identical mechanics, a 16 mm rod, PT1/8 port, and a 100 mm max standard stroke.
No, it uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, so you may need an external shock absorber for high-energy loads. Additionally, it does not hold its position if air pressure drops; the rod will drift unless an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is installed.
