Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X30
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X30 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 ATQ32X30
The AirTAC ATQ32X30 is a single-acting pull-type compact cylinder where pneumatic pressure retracts the 16 mm rod, and an internal spring extends it back to rest. It delivers a theoretical pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. You must verify the lower net output via the official datasheet.
Designed for short-stroke tasks, this JIS-format actuator uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.2-1.0 MPa, needing at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring. The 30 mm travel represents the maximum standard stroke for this 32 mm bore.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X30 Technical Specifications

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 ATQ32X30 Is Used
Pin Extraction
Pulls tension pins out of machining fixtures when air pressure is applied, relying on the spring to safely release the grip on exhaust.
Gate Retraction
Draws back a diverter gate on a packaging conveyor to sort items, using the compact 30 mm stroke to clear the product path.
Clamp Release
Opens a holding clamp on an automated lathe by retracting the mechanism, allowing the spring to maintain clamping force during air loss.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X30 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 188.9 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa, while a 40 mm bore provides 527.8 N. If your application requires more than 30 mm of travel, you must switch to the double-acting ACQ series. When ordering this configuration, confirm the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the default 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 ATQ32X30 FAQ
The theoretical pull force is 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction; the internal spring lowers net output. It requires 0.2-1.0 MPa operating pressure, has a maximum stroke of 30 mm, and uses a PT1/8 port.
If air pressure is lost, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its resting position. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
