Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5S 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 ATQ32X5S
The AirTAC ATQ32X5S is a JIS compact single-acting pull cylinder. Supplying air to its single PT1/8 port retracts the 16mm piston rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. This fail-safe spring-extend behavior is ideal for hold-down-release logic. The 32mm bore yields a theoretical pull of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring lowers the net output.
This 5mm stroke model uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end instead of an adjustable cushion. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing using reed or electronic solid-state switches. Operating pressure spans 0.2-1.0 MPa, requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum to overcome the return spring, with speeds of 50-500 mm/s across a -20 to +70 C range.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5S |
|---|---|
| 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 ATQ32X5S Is Used
Pin Extraction
Pulls locating pins out of a machined fixture on an automated CNC milling line when air pressure is applied.
Gate Retraction
Withdraws a sorting gate on a packaging conveyor to release cartons, relying on the spring to safely block flow on air loss.
Tension Release
Releases tension on a web handling system in a printing press by pulling a tensioning idler roller back against spring force.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5S the Right Cylinder?
For a 32mm bore, the ATQ32X5S provides a 5mm retraction stroke. If you need less force, the 25mm bore offers 188.9 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa; if you need more, the 40mm bore provides 527.8 N. For longer travel beyond the 30mm maximum single-acting limit, select a double-acting ACQ cylinder. When ordering, confirm the 32mm bore, 5mm stroke, -S magnet, 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 ATQ32X5S FAQ
It delivers a theoretical pull of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring lowers the net output. The spring extends the rod on exhaust. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa with a 0.2 MPa minimum to overcome the spring, and the maximum standard stroke for this 32mm bore is 30mm.
It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S option includes a built-in piston magnet for track sensing, compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches.
