The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X10SBCB 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.
The AirTAC ATQ32X10SBCB is a JIS compact single-acting PULL cylinder where pressurized air retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring drives extension upon exhaust. This fail-safe design automatically extends the rod to its rest position if air pressure drops below the 0.2 MPa minimum, suiting hold-down-release and tensioning logic. The theoretical pull force is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring lowers the net output, which you should confirm from the datasheet.
Designed for short-stroke automation, this 32mm bore unit features a 10mm travel, well under the 30mm maximum for this size. It integrates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke impact, rather than an adjustable air cushion. The -S magnet enables position sensing across both reed and solid-state electronic switches, while the -B male M14x1.5 rod end and CB mounting bracket provide direct, versatile load coupling via a PT1/8 port.

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 | 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.

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).
Applies air-side pulling to draw materials taut, relying on the spring to safely release tension upon air loss in textile or printing machinery.
Pulls a mechanical stop or diverter gate out of the product flow path on packaging lines, letting the internal spring push it back into blocking position when exhausted.
Draws back a holding clamp on CNC fixturing to free the workpiece, utilizing the fail-safe extend to maintain clamping pressure during pneumatic outages.
For sizing within the 12-63mm range, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields a 188.9 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8 N. If your application requires travel beyond the 30mm maximum single-acting stroke, the double-acting ACQ series is the correct choice. To order this pull-type configuration correctly, verify the 32mm bore, 10mm stroke, -S magnet for sensors, -B male M14x1.5 rod thread, and the CB mounting accessory.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder provides a theoretical pull of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring reduces net output. It requires a 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure to overcome the spring, and this 10mm stroke is within the 30mm maximum for this bore size.
The cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches fitted into the body grooves for precise position detection.
