Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X10
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X10 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø50mm bore and 10mm 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 ATQ50X10
The AirTAC ATQ50X10 is a single-acting PULL-type compact cylinder where supplying air to the single PT1/4 port retracts the Ø20 mm rod. Once exhaust occurs, an internal mechanical spring drives the piston back out to the extended rest state. This fail-safe behavior is ideal for hold-down-release or tensioning duties that must open automatically upon losing compressed air.
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore generates a theoretical pull force of 824.6 N (1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa). Because the return spring consumes energy during the air-driven retraction, actual net output is lower than these raw annular-area figures—always verify the exact net force from the official datasheet. The unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the stroke ends rather than an adjustable air cushion, and requires a minimum 0.2 MPa operating pressure to overcome the spring.

| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Single acting, pull type |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod end thread | M10×1.5 female / M18×1.5 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 (Ø50mm, Pull)
| Pressure | Pull force (before spring) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1155 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 ATQ50X10 Is Used
Clamp Release Mechanism
Holds a machining fixture closed under air pressure, then uses the spring-extend function to safely open the clamp and release the metal workpiece during an air loss event.
Diverter Gate Retraction
Pulls a routing gate out of the flow path on a packaging line when energized, allowing the internal spring to push the barrier back into blocking position at rest.
Tensioning Arm Pullback
Draws back a tensioning idler on an automated web handling machine to slacken the belt, relying on the spring to re-apply tension when the pneumatic signal ceases.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50 mm bore, stepping down to a 40 mm version drops the theoretical 0.5 MPa pull to 527.8 N, while moving up to a 63 mm bore raises it to 1401.5 N. This specific model provides a 10 mm retract stroke, well within the 30 mm maximum limit for single-acting variants at this bore size. If your mechanism requires longer travel, you must switch to the double-acting ACQ series. To finalize your order, confirm the 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, standard PT thread form, and the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread. Note this unit ships without a magnet.
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 ATQ50X10 FAQ
This single-acting pull cylinder provides a theoretical pull force of 824.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The internal return spring lowers the net usable force, so confirm exact output via the datasheet. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring, and the maximum standard stroke is 30 mm.
Because it is a pull-type design, exhausting the air causes the internal spring to extend the rod to its resting state, providing a fail-safe extension for hold-down release tasks. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
