About the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X50SBH
The B02-ACQ32X50SBH is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder built for welding-line automation, where the B02- prefix denotes AirTAC's dedicated industry variant. Mechanically identical to the base ACQ32X50SBH, it delivers a 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The short C-clip and riveted body design significantly reduces axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 16 mm piston rod with an M14x1.5 male thread for direct load coupling. It includes a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-stop impact. Operating at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, it is tailored for fixturing and clamping tasks within robotic welding cells.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X50SBH Is Used
Spot Welding Gun Clamping
Provides the 402.1 N extension force needed to hold workpieces firmly in robotic spot welding guns, ensuring precise alignment during the weld cycle.
Welding Cell Fixturing
Acts as a compact positioning drive in automated welding fixtures, using its 50 mm stroke to move mild steel brackets into the weld zone without excessive axial depth.
Assembly Line Transfer
Pushes welded sub-assemblies down a conveyor line, utilizing the M14x1.5 male rod thread for secure mechanical linkage to the transfer carriage.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X50SBH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the 25 mm bore if your load requires less force, which provides 245.4 N of push at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands greater thrust, the 40 mm bore offers 628.3 N at the same pressure. Remember that a standard compact cylinder like this will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; achieving a fail-safe hold requires an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, male M14x1.5 rod thread, and the required magnetic switch.
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-ACQ32X50SBH FAQ
This 32 mm 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 increases to 562.9 N. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at the 1.0 MPa operating pressure limit. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 100 mm.
The B02- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X50SBH, sharing the exact same physical specs as the base model. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers to decelerate the piston near stroke end, which are not adjustable and cannot hold a load without air pressure. The integrated magnet (-S) supports AirTAC reed or electronic switches for position detection.
