The AirTAC Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X10B 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.
The AirTAC ASQ63X10B is a single-acting push-type JIS compact cylinder. Supplying air to the single PT1/4 port extends the Ø20 mm rod, while an internal spring retracts it upon exhaust. This model includes a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling. Because it is single-acting, one solenoid valve drives the motion, simplifying plumbing.
At 0.5 MPa, the theoretical push force is 1558.6 N, and 2182 N at 0.7 MPa. These figures represent the theoretical push before spring; the return spring lowers the net output, so confirm the exact net capacity from the datasheet. The body features fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions. If air pressure is lost, the spring provides a fail-safe return to the retracted rest position.

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.
| 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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). ASQ pushes out / spring returns; ATQ pulls in / spring extends. Related: ACQ (double acting), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Ejecting dense molded components from a hydraulic press using the 1558.6 N theoretical push, relying on the internal spring to retract the rod between cycles.
Securing thick steel plates during automated drilling operations, where the male M18x1.5 thread bolts directly to a heavy clamping fixture.
Acting as a robust mechanical stop for inbound pallets on a conveyor line, with the fail-safe spring return ensuring the pin retracts if the air supply drops.
For sizing down, the 50 mm bore offers a 981.8 N theoretical push at 0.5 MPa; sizing up is not possible as 63 mm is the largest ASQ option. If your application requires a stroke longer than the 30 mm maximum for this 63 mm bore, you must switch to the double-acting ACQ series. When ordering this specific unit, verify the 63 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, the male M18x1.5 rod thread (-B), and note that it ships without a magnet (-S omitted).
Quick checklist
The theoretical push force is 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 2182 N at 0.7 MPa. This is the theoretical force before the spring; the internal return spring lowers the net output, so verify the net figure from the datasheet. A 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure is required to overcome the spring. The maximum standard stroke for this 63 mm bore is 30 mm.
This model uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the stroke ends to absorb impact rather than adjustable air cushions. For high-speed or high-energy loads, consider adding an external shock absorber. Additionally, while the body features magnetic-switch grooves, this specific SKU ships without a magnet, so reed or solid-state switches will not detect piston position.
