The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø63mm 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.
The AirTAC ATQ63X10 is a single-acting PULL-type compact cylinder where supplying air to one port retracts the Ø20 mm rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. It delivers a theoretical pull of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. You must confirm the lower net output from the datasheet for your specific tensioning tasks.
Designed for JIS compact setups, this 63 mm bore unit uses a PT1/4 port and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper to absorb end-of-stroke energy. The 10 mm travel keeps operations short, and the body features magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet. Operating pressure begins at 0.2 MPa to overcome the return spring, ensuring reliable action within a 50-500 mm/s speed range.

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 | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1962 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 heavy locating pins out of machining fixtures using the 1401.5 N theoretical retraction force at 0.5 MPa.
Draws a spring-loaded stop gate back on a packaging line to release loaded pallets down the conveyor.
Venting air lets the spring extend the rod, safely pushing open heavy tension clamps during metal stamping unloading.
For sizing within the 12-63 mm range, dropping to the 50 mm bore yields a 824.6 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa, while this 63 mm version provides the maximum 1401.5 N. If your mechanism requires travel beyond the 30 mm single-acting limit, transition to the double-acting ACQ series. When ordering this female-thread (M10x1.5) rod variant, verify the 10 mm stroke, 63 mm bore, and whether your application needs the -S magnet option for solid-state or reed sensors.
Quick checklist
This single-acting pull cylinder has a theoretical pull of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. It requires a minimum operating pressure of 0.2 MPa, supports a maximum standard stroke of 30 mm, and uses an internal spring to extend the rod when air is exhausted.
If air pressure is lost, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its resting position, which is ideal for hold-down release logic. At the end of travel, a fixed NBR elastomer bumper absorbs impact rather than an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy approaches.
