About the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X25
The AirTAC B02-ACQ32X25 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for welding-line automation, mechanically identical to the standard ACQ32X25. The B02- prefix simply designates its application focus for spot and robot welding cells, delivering 402.1 N of push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 301.6 N retract pull.
Its short C-clip and riveted body drastically reduce axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives. The 32 mm bore features a 16 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port, while fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-stop impact instead of adjustable air cushions.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X25 Is Used
Robot Welding Cell Clamping
Secures mild steel stampings in a robotic MIG station, utilizing the 402.1 N extend force to hold panels firmly against locators before the torch arcs.
Spot Weld Gun Actuation
Drives the lower arm of a resistance spot weld gun on an automotive body-in-white line, where the compact 25 mm stroke rapidly closes the tips onto the flange.
Fixture Plate Indexing
Shifts a small sub-assembly pallet between welding stations, relying on the 16 mm rod to push the load laterally without consuming excessive machine depth.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X25 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to the 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. This 32 mm bore with a 25 mm stroke offers a balanced middle ground for fixturing tasks. To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the PT1/8 port, the default female M8x1.25 rod thread, and note this unit ships without a sensor magnet. If your welding fixture must maintain position during air loss, note this cylinder will drift; 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-ACQ32X25 FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting 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 between 0.15-1.0 MPa, runs at 30-500 mm/s, and handles temperatures from -20 to +70 C.
The B02- prefix indicates this unit is part of the welding-industry dedicated line, though it is mechanically identical to the standard ACQ32X25. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions; for high-energy welding automation approaches, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the stroke speed.
