The AirTAC Airtac B06-ACQ Battery-Dedicated Cylinder B06-ACQ50X30SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm stroke, PT1/4 air ports and a C-clip / riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Magnetic-switch slots around the body accept position sensors.
The B06-ACQ50X30SB 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 of the base ACQ50X30SB, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but curated for cell, module, and pack assembly tasks. It utilizes a short C-clip and riveted body construction to minimize axial footprint, fitting into tight machine spaces where round-body actuators cannot. Delivering 981.8 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built for rigorous automated handling.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (S) for position sensing and a male-thread piston rod end (B). The 20 mm rod features an M18x1.5 male thread, coupling directly to tooling. End-of-stroke energy is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, which is not field-adjustable; for high-speed battery stacking operations, an external shock absorber should be added. Magnetic-switch grooves encircling the body accept reed or electronic switches.

Applies 981.8 N of extend force to press and align lithium-ion prismatic cells into tight module stacks without crushing the pouch material.
Utilizes the male M18x1.5 rod end to securely hold busbars and cell tabs at a precise 30 mm stroke distance during laser welding operations.
Pushes heavy battery packs laterally between conveyor lanes, relying on the compact C-clip body to fit within restrictive transfer station footprints.
When sizing this actuator, compare its 981.8 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down to a 40 mm bore yields 628.3 N, while stepping up to a 63 mm bore provides 1558.6 N. This 50 mm bore strikes a balance for mid-weight battery cell handling. To confirm your ordering essentials: specify the 50 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, required male M18x1.5 rod thread, and the magnet option for switch sensing.
Note that a plain compact cylinder like this does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end and acts as neither a lock nor a brake. For fail-safe holding of a vertical battery module load, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 981.8 N and the pull force is 824.6 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 1374.4 N. The maximum push force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the ACQ50X30SB; mechanically, all specifications are identical to the base model. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable air cushions. For high-energy impacts, external shock absorption is recommended.
