Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X30B is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, push type) with a Ø63mm bore and 30mm 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 ASQ63X30B
The AirTAC ASQ63X30B is a 63mm bore JIS compact cylinder engineered for single-acting push operation. Supplying air to the single PT1/4 port extends the Ø20mm rod, while an internal mechanical spring handles retraction. This configuration simplifies plumbing by requiring just one air line. Theoretical push output is 1558.6N at 0.5MPa and 2182N at 0.7MPa, though the return spring reduces net usable force, so verify the exact figure from the datasheet.
This specific variant features a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling. Travel is capped at 30mm to accommodate the return spring. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, but this unit ships without the internal magnet. If air pressure drops, the spring ensures a fail-safe return to the retracted rest position.
Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X30B Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | ASQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 ASQ63X30B Is Used
Stamping Press Ejection
Pushes finished metal blanks out of a stamping die using high force over a short 30mm distance, with the spring ensuring safe retraction when air is cut.
Heavy-Duty Part Clamping
Secures thick steel plates during machining operations. The male M18x1.5 thread provides a robust mount for custom clamp arms requiring 2182N theoretical push.
Pallet Diverter
Extends a diverter arm to route heavy pallets on a packaging line, utilizing the fixed NBR bumper to absorb the impact at the end of the stroke.
Is the Airtac ASQ Series Single Acting Slim Cylinder ASQ63X30B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore provides substantial push capability in a compact footprint. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 50mm bore yields a 981.8N theoretical push at 0.5MPa. Conversely, this 63mm unit is the largest in the ASQ family, offering the maximum 1558.6N theoretical push at 0.5MPa. Remember that travel is limited to 30mm; longer strokes require the double-acting ACQ series. When ordering, confirm the 63mm bore, 30mm stroke, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and whether 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 ASQ63X30B FAQ
The theoretical push force is 1558.6N at 0.5MPa and 2182N at 0.7MPa. Because it is single-acting, an internal spring lowers the net output force, which must be confirmed via the datasheet. Operating pressure ranges from 0.2-1.0MPa, with a 0.2MPa minimum required to overcome the spring. The maximum stroke is 30mm.
Deceleration is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the ends, not an adjustable air cushion. The body features grooves for magnetic switches, but this specific model ships without the internal magnet. If sensing is required, select the -S option to enable compatibility with reed or solid-state switches.
