Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X30S 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 ATQ32X30S
The AirTAC ATQ32X30S is a JIS compact single-acting pull-type cylinder. Supplying air to its single PT1/8 port retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring drives the extension stroke upon exhaust. This fail-safe design ensures the rod automatically extends if air pressure drops. The theoretical pull force is 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa before the return spring's resistance is factored in.
Featuring a 30mm stroke, this unit includes a built-in magnet (-S) for tracking with either reed or solid-state electronic switches. A fixed NBR elastomer bumper absorbs impact at both ends of travel, requiring no external adjustment. Operating pressure ranges from 0.2-1.0MPa, with a 0.2MPa minimum needed to overcome the internal spring.

| 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 |

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 ATQ32X30S Is Used
Clamp Release Mechanism
Pulls a mechanical pin on a machining center to release a workholding clamp when air is exhausted, relying on the spring-extend rest position for safe tool changes.
Diverter Gate Retraction
Draws back a sorting gate on a packaging conveyor line, using the single-air-line simplicity to save space while maintaining positive tension during transit.
Film Tensioning
Maintains steady tension on packaging film webbing by pulling a tensioner arm, automatically extending to apply tension when the pneumatic signal is removed.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X30S the Right Cylinder?
For lighter tensioning tasks, the ATQ25X30S offers a 188.9N theoretical pull at 0.5MPa. If your application requires greater force, the ATQ40X30S provides 527.8N at 0.5MPa. Since this 30mm stroke is the maximum standard single-acting travel for a 32mm bore, any longer movement requires switching to a double-acting ACQ cylinder. When ordering, verify the 32mm bore, 30mm stroke, -S magnet, and M8x1.25 female 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 ATQ32X30S FAQ
This single-acting pull cylinder generates a theoretical pull of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa before the return spring lowers the net output. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2MPa to overcome the spring and has a maximum standard stroke of 30mm.
Because it is a pull-type cylinder, exhausting the air causes the internal spring to extend the rod to its resting position. Impact at the stroke ends is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, which is non-adjustable; use an external shock absorber if cycle speeds generate excessive kinetic energy.
