Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X15S is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø63mm bore and 15mm 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 ASQ63X15S
The AirTAC ASQ63X15S is a 63mm bore JIS compact single-acting push cylinder. Feeding air to its single PT1/4 port extends the rod, while an internal mechanical spring handles retraction. This design requires only one pneumatic line, cutting plumbing complexity. Theoretical push force is 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 2182 N at 0.7 MPa; however, the return spring consumes some energy, so verify the exact net output force from the datasheet before finalizing your design.
This unit includes a -S piston magnet for position sensing using reed or solid-state electronic switches. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the endcaps to soften impact, rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.2-1.0 MPa, with the 0.2 MPa minimum needed to overcome the internal spring. The 15mm stroke sits well below the 30mm maximum limit for this bore size.
Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X15S Technical Specifications

| Series | ASQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 (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 ASQ63X15S Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Knocks stamped metal sheets out of a die using the 1558.6 N theoretical push, with the internal spring ensuring the ejector pin retracts safely when air is removed.
Heavy Part Hold-down
Secures bulky automotive castings during machining, relying on the 63mm piston diameter to generate substantial clamping pressure in a compact footprint.
Pallet Diverting
Pushes heavy pallets onto a secondary conveyor line, utilizing the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb the kinetic energy at the end of the 15mm extension.
Is the Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X15S the Right Cylinder?
For lower force requirements, the adjacent 50mm bore variant offers a theoretical push of 981.8 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands longer travel beyond the 30mm single-acting limit, the double-acting ACQ series is required. To order the ASQ63X15S correctly, confirm the 63mm bore, 15mm stroke, -S magnet option for sensors, and the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
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 ASQ63X15S FAQ
The theoretical push force (before spring) is 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 2182 N at 0.7 MPa. The return spring lowers the net usable output, which must be confirmed from the datasheet. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa, with a 0.2 MPa minimum required to overcome the spring, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 30mm.
As a single-acting push type, exhausting the air port allows the internal spring to actively retract the rod to its rest position, providing a predictable fail-safe behavior. Impact at the stroke ends is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
