Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X30
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X30 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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 ATQ50X30
The AirTAC ATQ50X30 is a JIS compact single-acting PULL cylinder. Supplying air to its PT1/4 port retracts the 20mm piston rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. This design requires only one air line, simplifying pneumatic plumbing for tensioning or hold-down-release tasks. It operates effectively from 0.2 MPa up to 1.0 MPa.
At 0.7 MPa, this 50mm bore generates a theoretical pull force of 1154.5 N (824.6 N at 0.5 MPa) before accounting for the return spring. Because the spring consumes energy during the air-driven retraction, the net output is lower and must be verified from the datasheet. The body features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts and includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X30 Technical Specifications

| Stroke | 30 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 ATQ50X30 Is Used
Gate Retraction
Pulling a pneumatic stop gate out of the way on a conveyor line to release accumulated packages downstream.
Clamp Release
Drawing back a holding clamp on a packaging machine so the filled carton can advance to the sealing station.
Tensioning Mechanism
Applying controlled tension on a web or belt drive by pulling an idler roller back against the material path.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X30 the Right Cylinder?
For slightly lower force, the adjacent 40mm bore yields a 527.8 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa. If your application demands greater retracting power, the 63mm bore provides 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This 30mm stroke represents the maximum standard travel for this bore size; longer movements require a double-acting ACQ cylinder. When ordering, confirm the 50mm bore, 30mm stroke, female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and whether a -S magnet is needed for sensor tracking.
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 ATQ50X30 FAQ
It provides a theoretical pull of 824.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa before the return spring. The internal spring automatically extends the rod when air is removed. Operating pressure ranges from 0.2 MPa to 1.0 MPa, and the maximum standard stroke is 30 mm.
A fixed NBR elastomer bumper absorbs shock at each end without adjustable air cushions. If air pressure drops, the fail-safe spring design forces the rod to its extended rest position, ensuring predictable hold-down-release behavior.
