The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X25 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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.
The AirTAC ATQ50X25 is a single-acting PULL-type compact cylinder where supplying air to one port retracts the rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. It delivers a theoretical pull force of 824.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. Because the return spring lowers net output, verify the exact usable force from the official datasheet.
Designed with a 50 mm bore and 25 mm stroke, this JIS-format actuator operates between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to soften end-of-trroke impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet.

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.
| 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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). ASQ pushes out / spring returns; ATQ pulls in / spring extends. Related: ACQ (double acting), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Pulls a tensioning idler back against a cable or wire bundle in packaging machinery, releasing the load safely when compressed air is removed.
Draws a diverter gate out of the product flow path on a conveyor line, relying on the spring to extend the stopper back into position during an air loss.
Retracts a holding clamp on an CNC fixture to free the finished part, utilizing the powered pull stroke to overcome the clamping spring pressure.
For sizing context, the 40 mm bore neighbor provides a 527.8 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 63 mm bore yields 1401.5 N. If your mechanism requires a longer travel distance than the 30 mm maximum single-acting limit, you should select a double-acting ACQ cylinder instead. When ordering this 50 mm variant, confirm the 25 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
The theoretical pull force is 824.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. It is a single-acting pull type requiring a minimum 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring, with a maximum standard stroke of 30 mm for this 50 mm bore.
If air pressure drops, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its resting position, making it ideal for hold-down-release logic. End-of-stroke impact is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion.
