The AirTAC Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X10SB 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 ASQ63X10SB is a 63mm bore, single-acting push-type compact cylinder. Feeding compressed air through the PT1/4 port extends the rod, while an internal mechanical spring handles retraction. This design requires only one solenoid valve line, simplifying plumbing. It delivers a theoretical push force of 1558.6N at 0.5MPa (2182N at 0.7MPa) before accounting for spring resistance. Because the return spring absorbs energy, the net usable output is lower—verify the exact net figure against the official datasheet.
This JIS-format actuator features a 10mm stroke, well within the 30mm maximum travel limit for this bore size. It includes an integrated piston magnet (-S) for position sensing, compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. The -B suffix indicates a male M18x1.5 threaded rod end for direct load coupling. Instead of adjustable air cushions, the cylinder relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the end caps to soften impact. If a pneumatic supply failure occurs, the internal spring automatically pulls the rod back to its retracted rest state.

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).
Pushes completed metal castings off a machining center conveyor using 1558.6N of theoretical force, retracting automatically when air is cut.
Secures heavy steel plates against a jig during a stamping operation, utilizing the male M18x1.5 rod thread for a rigid tool attachment.
Acts as a high-force pop-up stopper on a packaging line, safely halting incoming pallets and safely retracting upon pneumatic exhaust.
For sizing, step down to a 50mm bore if 981.8N of theoretical push at 0.5MPa is sufficient, or step up to this 63mm bore from a 50mm unit when 1374.4N at 0.7MPa is inadequate for your load. If your application requires a stroke longer than 30mm, you must switch to the double-acting ACQ series. To finalize your order, verify the 63mm bore, 10mm stroke, the -S magnet requirement, and the -B male M18x1.5 rod thread.
Quick checklist
The theoretical push force is 1558.6N at 0.5MPa and 2182N at 0.7MPa. This is the air-side force before the return spring; the net output is lower and must be confirmed from the datasheet. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0MPa (0.2MPa minimum to overcome the spring), and the maximum stroke is 30mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the ends rather than adjustable air cushions; for high kinetic energy loads, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber. In a loss of air pressure, the internal spring provides a fail-safe return, pulling the rod back to its retracted position.
