The AirTAC Airtac B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ32X10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø32mm bore and 10mm 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.
The B06-ACQ32X10S is an AirTAC double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for battery-manufacturing lines. The leading B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard ACQ32X10S, delivering 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa. Its short C-clip and riveted body drastically reduce axial footprint compared to round-body alternatives, fitting neatly into dense cell stacking machinery.
This 32 mm bore unit features a 16 mm piston rod and a PT1/8 port. Because it carries the S option, a built-in magnet enables position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. Stopping is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, absorbing end-of-stroke impact without the need for adjustable air cushions.

Applies precise 402.1 N clamping force at 0.5 MPa to align lithium-ion prismatic cells during automated stacking and packaging processes.
Drives the 16 mm rod forward in a short 10 mm stroke to hold battery module busbars firmly against collector plates prior to laser welding.
Uses the integrated S magnet to trigger electronic switches, routing battery packs on assembly conveyors within compact machinery footprints.
When sizing this actuator, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. This 32 mm option sits right in the middle for mid-force battery module handling. To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the 10 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod end, and the required S magnet for switch readiness.
Note that a standard compact cylinder like this will drift and cannot hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end rather than locking it. For vertical tabbing or handling tasks requiring fail-safe position holding, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 32 mm bore double-acting 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. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa, with an operating speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the ACQ32X10S; it shares the exact same physical specs as the base model. It does not use adjustable air cushions; instead, it relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impacts.
