Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X30
The AirTAC Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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-ACQ32X30
The AirTAC B02-ACQ32X30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for welding-line automation, mechanically identical to the standard ACQ32X30. The B02- prefix simply designates its application focus for spot and robot welding cells, delivering 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short C-clip and riveted body construction drastically reduces axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives, fitting neatly into tight fixture stations.
This 32mm bore unit features a 16mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet. Operating efficiently between 30-500 mm/s, it handles repetitive clamping tasks without requiring excessive mounting depth.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X30 Is Used
Robot Welding Clamp
Actuates holding fixtures in robotic spot welding cells, using its 402.1 N push force to secure chassis components firmly before the welding gun fires.
Fixture Positioning
Indexes small metal brackets into the weld nest with a 30mm stroke, saving valuable axial space on crowded automated welding lines.
Part Ejection
Pushes completed welded assemblies out of the station after the cycle finishes, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the 30mm stroke impact.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X30 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to the 25mm bore for lighter tasks, which provides 245.4 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the 40mm bore for heavier fixturing, yielding 628.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The 32mm bore strikes a balance for mid-range welding clamp requirements. To order, confirm the 30mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding on a vertical welding fixture, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve must be integrated into the pneumatic circuit.
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-ACQ32X30 FAQ
This 32mm 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 force of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B02- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X30, sharing identical mechanical specs. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
