About the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X35B
The AirTAC B02-ACQ32X35B is a 32mm bore, 35mm stroke double-acting JIS compact cylinder. The leading B02- prefix marks this as a welding-industry dedicated variant of the standard ACQ32X35B, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but designated for welding-line automation. It delivers a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a short C-clip and riveted body design to minimize axial footprint in tight robotic cells.
This specific unit includes a male-thread piston rod end (M14x1.5) for direct mechanical coupling to clamping tools. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact. The hard-anodized aluminum body features integrated magnetic-switch grooves, though this particular SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X35B Is Used
Spot Welding Gun Clamping
Drives the lower arm of a robotic spot welding gun, using the 402.1 N extend force to pinch galvanized sheet metal panels prior to the weld nugget formation.
Fixture Plate Positioning
Indexes small locating pins on a welding fixture plate, exploiting the short C-clip body length to fit within the cramped framework of an automated welding jig.
Assembly Line Part Ejection
Pushes finished welded sub-assemblies out of a robotic cell using the male M14x1.5 threaded rod end to securely attach a custom mechanical kicker arm.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X35B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 25mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 245.4 N, while stepping up to a 40mm bore increases it to 628.3 N. To verify your ordering essentials for this exact unit: confirm the 32mm bore, 35mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M14x1.5 rod thread (B option), and the absence of a sensor magnet. Note that a plain ACQ body does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding in a robotic fixture, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
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-ACQ32X35B FAQ
This 32mm 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. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa, runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and has a maximum standard stroke limit of 100 mm for this bore size.
The B02- prefix simply denotes that this is a welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X35B; it shares the exact same physical specs and JIS compact dimensions as the base model. It does not have adjustable air cushions. Instead, it uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact. For high-speed welding applications, you should slow the approach speed or add an external shock absorber.
