Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X10B is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm stroke. Air pushes the rod and an internal spring performs the opposite stroke, so one solenoid line drives the motion — ideal for short-stroke clamping and ejection in tight spaces.

About the Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X10B
The ASQ50X10B is a JIS compact single-acting push cylinder where air extends the rod and an internal spring retracts it. It delivers a theoretical push force of 981.8 N at 0.5 MPa (1374.4 N at 0.7 MPa) before spring deduction. You must verify the lower net output via the official datasheet.
This 50 mm bore unit features a 10 mm stroke and a male M18x1.5 rod thread for direct load coupling. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.2 to 1.0 MPa, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum to overcome the return spring.

| Acting type | Single acting, push type |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod end thread | M10×1.5 female / M18×1.5 male (B) |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.2 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Bumper |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 30 mm |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACQ-family datasheet. Single-acting types start at 0.2 MPa (the spring must be overcome). Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm, Push)
| Pressure | Push force (before spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N |
These are theoretical air-side forces; the return-spring force reduces the NET usable output. Single-acting push only — the spring performs the opposite stroke. Confirm the net figure from the datasheet and size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X10B Is Used
Stamping Pin Locating
Drives a locating pin into position on a press feed line, relying on the 981.8 N theoretical push to seat the part before the tooling descends.
Heavy Part Ejection
Pushes finished metal castings out of a machining fixture, where the internal spring guarantees the ejector retracts clear of the workspace on air loss.
Fixture Clamping
Secures heavy housings during an assembly operation using the male M18x1.5 thread, providing robust holding force within a short 10 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X10B the Right Cylinder?
For slightly lower force, the 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa. For higher force, the 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs travel beyond 30 mm, select the double-acting ACQ series instead. To order this unit correctly, confirm the 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and note this specific SKU ships without a piston magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net push force (after spring) at your pressure
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 30 mm (single-acting limit)
- ✓ Single air line saves a valve/port
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.2 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Remember the spring performs the return stroke.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Handle the C-clip carefully; seat it fully in its groove.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X10B FAQ
The theoretical push force is 981.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374.4 N at 0.7 MPa. Because an internal spring retracts the rod, the net output is lower and must be confirmed from the datasheet. Operating pressure is 0.2 to 1.0 MPa, with a 0.2 MPa minimum required to overcome the spring. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 30 mm.
Loss of air pressure causes the internal spring to automatically retract the rod to its rest position, ensuring a safe fail-safe state. End-of-stroke impact is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. For high energy cycles, you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
