Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm stroke. Air pulles 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 ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B
The AirTAC ATQ16X10B is a JIS compact single-acting PULL cylinder where supplying air to one port retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. It delivers a theoretical pull of 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. This compact build suits tight machinery spaces.
Featuring an 8 mm piston rod and a male M6x1.0 threaded end, it couples directly to your load. The body includes a fixed TPU elastomer bumper for impact absorption and sensor grooves, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Operating pressure starts at 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B |
|---|---|
| Series | ATQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø16 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull type |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Rod end thread | M4×0.7 female / M6×1.0 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 20 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 (Ø16mm, Pull)
| Pressure | Pull force (before spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 106 N |
These are theoretical air-side forces; the return-spring force reduces the NET usable output. Single-acting pull only — the spring performs the opposite stroke. Confirm the net figure from the datasheet and size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B Is Used
Pin Extraction Jig
Uses the spring-extend fail-safe to hold a gripper open, then pulls air to retract and withdraw a locating pin from a machined fixture.
Gate Retractor
Employs the 10 mm stroke to pull a diverter gate down into the conveyor frame, allowing the internal spring to extend it back up as a physical stop when air is removed.
Tensioning Arm
Applies the male M6x1.0 rod end to pull a tensioning idler pulley inward, releasing belt tension automatically upon loss of air pressure.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B the Right Cylinder?
For this 16 mm bore, the theoretical pull is 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 12 mm bore offers 42.4 N at the same pressure; for heavier loads, the 20 mm bore provides 117.8 N. This 10 mm stroke is well within the 20 mm maximum for this bore. If your application requires longer travel, switch to the double-acting ACQ series. When ordering, verify the 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, male M6x1.0 rod thread, and confirm if you need the S option for a sensor magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net pull force (after spring) at your pressure
- ✓ Stroke ≤ 20 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 ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ16X10B FAQ
It provides a theoretical pull of 75.4 N at 0.5 MPa and 105.6 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring is factored in. The internal spring lowers the net output, so confirm exact figures from the datasheet. The maximum standard stroke for a 16 mm bore is 20 mm, and operation requires a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. Air retracts the rod, and the spring extends it.
This cylinder uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at the ends to absorb impact, which is not an adjustable air cushion. The body features magnetic-switch grooves, but because this specific model lacks the S magnet option, it cannot trigger reed or solid-state sensors without modification.
