Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X50SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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-ACQ32X50SB
The B02-ACQ32X50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder built for welding-line automation, mechanically identical to the standard ACQ32X50SB. The B02- prefix simply designates its application focus for 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 length compared to round-body units, saving valuable mounting depth in tight robotic fixturing.
This specific configuration includes an S-code piston magnet for AirTAC reed or electronic switches, plus a B-code male-thread rod end (M14x1.5) for direct load coupling. The 32 mm bore uses a PT1/8 port and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end to absorb end stops, as it lacks an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X50SB Is Used
Robot Welding Clamp
Drives short-stroke clamping arms in spot welding guns, using the male M14x1.5 rod to secure workpieces firmly before the weld cycle begins.
Fixture Positioning
Indexes small brackets into the weld zone with 402.1 N of extension force, fitting easily into compact multi-axis welding station frames.
Assembly Line Ejection
Pushes welded sub-assemblies out of the cell using the 50 mm stroke, relying on the fixed NBR bumper to soften the end-of-travel impact.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X50SB 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. This model is configured with a 50 mm stroke, a PT1/8 port, a male M14x1.5 rod thread, and a magnetic piston. Note that a plain compact cylinder like this will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; adding an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe position 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-ACQ32X50SB FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder delivers 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. The 50 mm stroke is well within the 100 mm standard stroke limit for this bore.
The B02- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X50SB, sharing identical mechanical specs. It does not have adjustable air cushions; instead, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to decelerate the piston. For high-energy welding ejection cycles, consider adding external shock absorbers.
