Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15S 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 ATQ32X15S
The AirTAC ATQ32X15S is a JIS compact single-acting PULL cylinder. Supplying air to its single PT1/8 port retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring extends it back out upon exhaust. This fail-safe extend behavior naturally suits hold-down-release and tensioning tasks. Theoretical pull force is 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, though the return spring lowers net output so confirm exact figures from the datasheet.
Featuring a 32mm bore and 15mm stroke, this unit operates from 0.2 to 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet enables tracking by reed or solid-state switches via the body's integrated grooves.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15S |
|---|---|
| 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 ATQ32X15S Is Used
Package Flap Retractor
Pulls a mechanical deflector gate out of the path on packaging lines to let cartons pass, using spring pressure to redeploy the gate when air is removed.
Pallet Stop Release
Retracts a spring-loaded stop pin on roller conveyors to release pallets, extending the pin back up automatically during a pressure loss to halt flow.
Gripper Tension Hold
Draws a small gripper arm backward on an assembly fixture to apply constant cable tension, relying on the spring to slacken the line upon exhaust.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X15S the Right Cylinder?
For this 32mm bore, theoretical pull is 301.6N at 0.5MPa. Dropping to the 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while stepping up to the 40mm bore provides 527.8N. If your application requires travel beyond the 30mm maximum for this single-acting series, select a double-acting ACQ instead. When ordering, verify the 15mm stroke, the -S magnet option, and the female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
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 ATQ32X15S FAQ
The theoretical pull is 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa before the return spring reduces net output. It is a single-acting pull type requiring 0.2 MPa minimum pressure, with a maximum standard stroke of 30mm for this 32mm bore.
Loss of air causes the internal spring to extend the rod to its rest position. Impact at travel ends is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
