Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5B 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 ATQ32X5B
The AirTAC ATQ32X5B is a single-acting PULL-type compact cylinder. Feeding air to the single PT1/8 port retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. It delivers a theoretical pull of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. Because the return spring consumes energy, the net output is lower; verify the exact net figure from the datasheet.
This JIS-format actuator features a 5mm stroke and a male M14x1.5 piston rod end that couples directly to your load. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-travel damping rather than an adjustable air cushion. If pneumatic pressure drops below the 0.2MPa minimum or the air supply is cut, the spring forces the rod out to its extended rest position.

| 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 ATQ32X5B Is Used
Pin Extraction
Pulls locating pins out of machined fixtures on CNC mills once the cutting cycle finishes.
Gate Retraction
Draws back a diverter gate on a packaging line to let downstream products pass freely.
Tension Release
Slackens a tensioning arm on a wire drawing machine when the drive motor halts.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5B the Right Cylinder?
For a 32mm bore, the ATQ32X5B provides 301.6N of theoretical pull at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to a 25mm bore reduces the theoretical pull to 188.9N, whereas moving up to a 40mm bore increases it to 527.8N. This 5mm stroke fits within the 30mm maximum limit for this bore. If your application requires a longer travel distance than 30mm, select a double-acting ACQ cylinder instead. To order, confirm the 32mm bore, 5mm stroke, male M14x1.5 rod thread, and note this unit lacks the -S magnet option.
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 ATQ32X5B FAQ
The theoretical pull is 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, has a 5mm stroke, and the maximum standard stroke for a 32mm bore is 30mm.
Loss of air pressure causes the internal spring to extend the rod to its rest position. Deceleration at the stroke ends is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. The body has sensor grooves, but this specific configuration ships without the -S magnet.
