Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X5B is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 ASQ50X5B
The AirTAC ASQ50X5B is a JIS compact single-acting push cylinder, meaning compressed air entering its single PT1/4 port extends the Ø20 rod, while an internal mechanical element retracts it upon exhaust. This specific configuration yields a theoretical push force of 981.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374.4 N at 0.7 MPa before accounting for the return mechanism. Keep in mind the internal spring lowers the net usable output, so confirm the exact net force from the official datasheet for your specific load.
Designed for brief 5mm excursions, this unit features a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread that couples directly to your tooling. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the end of travel to soften impact, which is not an adjustable air cushion. Because this SKU lacks the -S option, it ships without a magnet, though the body still retains sensor grooves for external retrofitting if needed.
Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X5B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X5B |
|---|---|
| Series | ASQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 5 mm |
| 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 ASQ50X5B Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Kicks short metal blanks out of a die cavity using a brief 5mm push, relying on automatic retraction to clear the lower die before the next sheet loads.
Carton Flap Sealing
Holds a minor carton flap stationary for a fraction of a second during tape head passage, with the internal spring ensuring the rod retracts if the airline drops pressure.
Pallet Locating Stop
Acts as a spring-return positioning pin on a conveyor line, popping up 5mm to register a pallet's edge and dropping away cleanly to let it pass.
Is the Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ50X5B the Right Cylinder?
For sizing within the 12-63 mm range, dropping to a Ø40 bore provides a theoretical push of 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a Ø63 bore raises that figure to 1558.6 N. If your application requires travel beyond the 30 mm maximum limit for this series, you must switch to the double-acting ACQ counterpart. When ordering this exact unit, verify the 50 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, the -B male M18x1.5 thread, and note the absence of the -S 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 ASQ50X5B FAQ
It generates a theoretical push force of 981.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 1374.4 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring reduces the net output. The operating pressure must be at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. The maximum standard stroke available for a 50 mm bore in this series is 30 mm.
It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper to absorb impact energy at the end of travel, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion to tune. If air pressure is lost, the internal spring automatically retracts the rod to its resting position, providing a fail-safe return action.
