Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 ATQ32X5
The AirTAC ATQ32X5 is a single-acting PULL-type compact cylinder where supplied air retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring drives the extension stroke. At 0.5 MPa it generates a 301.6 N theoretical pull (422.2 N at 0.7 MPa) before spring deduction. You must confirm the lower net output from the official datasheet.
This JIS-format unit requires only one air line and a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the ends to soften end-of-trroke impacts, rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5 Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | ATQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ATQ32X5 Is Used
Clamp Release Mechanism
Pulls a mechanical locating pin out of a fixture on an automated machining center to release a finished aluminum component.
Diverter Gate Retraction
Withdraws a short routing gate on a packaging line to let cartons pass, using spring pressure to safely extend the barrier on air loss.
Tensioning Arm Pullback
Draws back a belt-tensioning idler pulley inside a textile machine during thread splicing to create slack.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5 the Right Cylinder?
For a 5mm stroke, this 32mm bore provides substantial holding tension in a tiny footprint. If you need less force, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields a 188.9 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands greater power, moving up to the 40mm bore provides 527.8 N. Should your mechanism require travel beyond the 30mm maximum single-acting limit, you must switch to the double-acting ACQ series. When ordering, verify the 5mm 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 ATQ32X5 FAQ
It delivers a 301.6 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring is factored in; the spring lowers the net force, which you should verify via the datasheet. Being single-acting pull type, it needs a minimum of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring, and stroke is capped at 30mm for this 32mm bore.
If air pressure drops or is removed, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its resting outward position. This fail-safe extend behavior is ideal for hold-down-release logic. Impacts at the end of this spring-driven travel are softened by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable cushion.
