Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5SB 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 ATQ32X5SB
The AirTAC ATQ32X5SB is a single-acting pull-type JIS compact cylinder where supplying air to one port retracts the 16mm rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. It delivers a 301.6N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa and 422.2N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring is factored in; the spring lowers net output, so confirm exact net force from the datasheet. This 32mm bore variant uses a PT1/8 port and operates reliably from a 0.2 MPa minimum pressure up to 1.0 MPa.
Featuring a 5mm stroke, this model is built for short-travel tensioning or hold-down-release tasks. It includes a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke contact rather than an adjustable air cushion. The -S option adds a piston magnet for position sensing with reed or electronic solid-state switches, and the -B option provides a male M14x1.5 thread on the rod end for direct load coupling.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ATQ32X5SB Is Used
Clamp Release Mechanism
Uses the spring-extend fail-safe to hold a machining fixture closed, with air pulling the rod back to release the part.
Package Stopper Retract
Draws a 16mm rod back 5mm to lower a pneumatic stop gate on a packaging conveyor when air is applied.
Tensioning Pullback
Applies a controlled retract force to maintain belt or wire tension, extending back to rest when the air supply is removed.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ32X5SB the Right Cylinder?
For this 32mm bore, the 5mm stroke is well within the 30mm maximum limit for single-acting pull types. If your application requires a different force profile, the adjacent 25mm bore offers a 188.9N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 40mm bore provides 527.8N at 0.5 MPa. Should your machine need travel beyond 30mm, a double-acting ACQ cylinder is required instead. When ordering, verify the 32mm bore, 5mm stroke, -S magnet, and -B male M14x1.5 rod 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 ATQ32X5SB FAQ
It provides a 301.6N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa and 422.2N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring, which lowers net output. It is a single-acting pull type (spring-extend) requiring a 0.2 MPa minimum operating pressure, with a maximum 30mm stroke for this 32mm bore.
Upon loss of air pressure, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its rest position. To manage impact at the end of travel, the cylinder uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion.
