Airtac B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ12X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ12X30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø12mm bore and 30mm stroke, M5×0.8 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 B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ12X30SB
The B06-ACQ12X30SB is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the AirTAC ACQ12X30SB, featuring identical mechanical specifications to the base model. As a double-acting JIS compact cylinder, it delivers a push force of 56.5 N and a pull force of 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa. The short C-clip and riveted body design drastically reduces axial length compared to round-body alternatives, saving valuable mounting depth in dense cell assembly machinery.
This specific unit includes an integrated piston magnet (-S) for position detection and a male-thread rod end (-B) sized at M5x0.8 for direct load coupling. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed TPU elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy cycling. The M5x0.8 port and Ø6 mm piston rod ensure precise actuation within the 30-500 mm/s speed range.

Where the Airtac B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ12X30SB Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides the precise 56.5 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to align and press lithium-ion pouch cells into modules without damaging the delicate separators.
Tab Welding Fixturing
Utilizes the M5x0.8 male rod thread to securely clamp battery tabs during ultrasonic welding, with the integrated magnet enabling exact position confirmation.
Pack Handling Diverters
Fits into tight conveyor footprints to push battery packs onto testing trays, leveraging the short C-clip body to minimize axial machine depth.
Is the Airtac B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ12X30SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 12 mm bore actuator, stepping down is not an option as this is the smallest available bore. Stepping up to the 16 mm bore increases the 0.5 MPa push force to 100.5 N, which is preferable if your tabbing or handling fixture exceeds the 56.5 N capacity of this unit. To confirm your ordering essentials for this battery line: specify the 12 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, male M5x0.8 rod thread, and the required magnetic switch. Note that a standard compact cylinder will drift and lose its position if air pressure drops; if your battery stacking process requires fail-safe load holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ12X30SB FAQ
This 12 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides a push force of 56.5 N and a pull force of 42.4 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 79.2 N. The maximum push force is 12 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the ACQ12X30SB, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC model. It uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end for end-stop deceleration, which is not field-adjustable, so high-speed applications may require external shock absorption.
