Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X5
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X5 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø50mm 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 ATQ50X5
The AirTAC ATQ50X5 is a JIS compact single-acting pull cylinder where compressed air retracts the rod and an internal spring extends it. At 0.5 MPa it provides an 824.6 N theoretical pull, increasing to 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa. Remember these are pre-spring figures; the return mechanism reduces net output, so verify exact net force from the datasheet.
Designed for tight spaces, this 50 mm bore unit uses a PT1/4 port and a 20 mm piston rod. A fixed NBR elastomer bumper absorbs end-of-stroke energy rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this specific SKU lacks the -S suffix, it ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for future upgrades.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X5 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X5 |
|---|---|
| Series | ATQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ATQ50X5 Is Used
Tension Release Mechanism
Pulls a tensioning cable back to release material webbing in packaging machinery when air is applied.
Retractable Package Stop
Draws a gate out of the path to let cartons pass on a conveyor line, using spring force to redeploy the barrier.
Clamp Withdrawal
Retracts a holding clamp away from finished metal parts on an assembly press to allow unloading.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ50X5 the Right Cylinder?
If 824.6 N of theoretical pull is excessive, stepping down to the 40 mm bore yields 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, demanding tasks might require the 63 mm bore offering 1401.5 N. This 5 mm stroke fits within the 30 mm maximum for single-acting versions; longer travel requires the double-acting ACQ series. Confirm your ordering needs: 50 mm bore, 5 mm stroke, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and no 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 ATQ50X5 FAQ
It delivers 824.6 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa and 1154.5 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. The internal spring extends the rod automatically. Minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 30 mm.
If air pressure drops, the internal spring forces the rod into the extended position. End-of-stroke impact is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable cushion. For high kinetic energy loads, use an external shock absorber.
