Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X10
The AirTAC Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X10 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø63mm 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 ASQ63X10
The AirTAC ASQ63X10 is a single-acting push-type JIS compact cylinder. Feeding air to its single PT1/4 port extends the Ø20 mm rod, while an internal spring handles retraction. This design cuts plumbing down to one valve line. At 0.5 MPa, it yields a theoretical push of 1558.6 N (2182 N at 0.7 MPa) before spring deduction. Because the return spring consumes energy, the actual net output is lower and must be verified from the datasheet.
This 63 mm bore unit carries a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke impact rather than relying on adjustable air cushions. It operates within a 0.2-1.0 MPa range, needing at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the internal spring. If pneumatic supply drops, the spring safely pulls the rod back to its retracted rest position. Though this specific configuration lacks a piston magnet, the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for external sensing.

| 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 (Ø63mm, Push)
| Pressure | Push force (before spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 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 ASQ63X10 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Part Clamping
Applies high force to secure heavy metal castings during CNC machining operations.
Stamping Ejection
Pushes finished stamped components out of a press die using a short 10 mm travel.
Assembly Pressing
Holds and seats large bearings or bushings into housings on automotive assembly lines.
Is the Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X10 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 63 mm bore provides the largest standard push capacity in the ASQ family. If 1558.6 N theoretical force at 0.5 MPa exceeds your requirement, step down to the 50 mm bore (981.8 N). For travel beyond the 30 mm maximum stroke limit of this single-acting series, a double-acting ACQ cylinder is required. When ordering, verify the 10 mm stroke, 63 mm bore, default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and confirm if you need the -S magnet option for position sensing.
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 ASQ63X10 FAQ
It provides a theoretical push of 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 2182 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. The internal return spring lowers the net usable force, which must be confirmed from the datasheet. Operating pressure spans 0.2-1.0 MPa, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum to overcome the spring. The stroke is 10 mm, with a 30 mm maximum limit for this bore.
It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the stroke ends instead of an adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy loads, an external shock absorber is recommended. Being single-acting, loss of air pressure causes the internal spring to retract the rod to its fail-safe rest position automatically.
