Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15B is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 ATQ32X15B
The AirTAC ATQ32X15B is a JIS compact single-acting PULL cylinder, meaning compressed air fed to its single PT1/8 port retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring drives the extension stroke. It delivers a theoretical pull of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa before the return spring's resistance is factored in; you should verify the net output force from the official datasheet for your specific load.
This 32mm bore unit features a 15mm stroke and a male M14x1.5 threaded rod end (-B option) for direct load coupling. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the stroke ends rather than an adjustable air cushion, and its body includes standard magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet. Operating pressure ranges from 0.2 to 1.0MPa, requiring a 0.2MPa minimum to overcome the spring.

|---|---|
| Series | ATQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 ATQ32X15B Is Used
Clamp Release Mechanism
Uses the powered pull to hold a machining fixture closed, then exhausts air so the spring safely extends to release the workpiece.
Package Stopper Gate
Draws a pneumatic gate back out of the conveyor lane via the 301.6N theoretical pull, letting the spring push the stop up as a fail-safe barrier.
Tensioning Arm Puller
Applies a controlled retracting tension on a belt or cable assembly, relying on the internal spring to slacken the line when air is removed.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15B the Right Cylinder?
For sizing within the 12-63mm bore range, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields a 188.9N theoretical pull at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8N at 0.5MPa. If your mechanism needs a travel distance beyond the 30mm maximum standard stroke for this 32mm bore, you must switch to the double-acting ACQ series. When ordering this model, verify the 32mm bore, 15mm stroke, the male M14x1.5 rod thread, and confirm no internal magnet is required since the -S option is absent.
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 ATQ32X15B FAQ
This single-acting pull cylinder has a 32mm bore and 15mm stroke. The theoretical pull force is 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa before spring deduction. It requires a 0.2MPa minimum operating pressure to function, uses an internal spring to extend the rod, and has a maximum standard stroke limit of 30mm for this bore size.
If air pressure is lost, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its rest position. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the ends to absorb impact energy. The body has sensor grooves, but this specific model lacks the -S magnet, so reed or solid-state switches will not function without modification.
