Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X10 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø32mm 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 ATQ32X10
The AirTAC ATQ32X10 is a single-acting PULL-type compact cylinder where air retracts the 16mm rod and an internal spring extends it. It yields a theoretical pull of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa before spring deduction. This JIS body uses a PT1/8 port and a female M8x1.25 rod end.
This 10mm stroke unit ships without a magnet, though its body retains sensor grooves for future upgrades. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.2-1.0MPa, with the 0.2MPa floor required to overcome the return spring.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X10 |

| Series | ATQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull type |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod end thread | M8×1.25 female / M14×1.5 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 (Ø32mm, Pull)
| Pressure | Pull force (before spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 422 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 ATQ32X10 Is Used
Pin Extraction
Pulls locating pins out of a machined fixture plate when air is supplied, relying on the spring to safely re-extend the pin during exhaust.
Gate Retraction
Draws back a diverter gate on a packaging line to release product flow, using the compact 10mm stroke for tight conveyor frames.
Gripper Release
Opens an external clamping jaw on a CNC lathe loader by retracting the rod, allowing the spring to maintain clamping force on air loss.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X10 the Right Cylinder?
For a 32mm bore, the ATQ32X10 delivers a 301.6N theoretical pull at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to the 25mm bore gives 188.9N, while the 40mm bore raises it to 527.8N. If your machine needs travel beyond the 30mm maximum for this series, switch to a double-acting ACQ. To order, confirm the 10mm stroke, the female M8x1.25 thread, and whether you require the S magnet option.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Net pull 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 ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X10 FAQ
It provides a theoretical pull of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa before the spring lowers net output. It requires a 0.2MPa minimum operating pressure to overcome the spring, and this bore has a maximum standard stroke of 30mm.
If air pressure is lost, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its rest position, making it ideal for hold-down-release logic. Impact at end-of-stroke is controlled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
