The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10B 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 ATQ63X10B is a single-acting PULL-type compact cylinder where air retracts the rod and an internal spring extends it. Driven by a single PT1/4 air line, 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 net output via the datasheet, as the return spring lowers usable force.
This 63 mm bore JIS-format actuator uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. The male M18x1.5 rod thread couples directly to your load. If air pressure drops, the spring automatically pushes the rod out to the extended rest position, making it ideal for hold-down-release logic.

| 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.
| 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 large locating pins from heavy machining fixtures using the 1962.2 N theoretical retraction force at 0.7 MPa.
Withdraws a mechanical stop gate on a conveyor line, relying on the spring to safely extend the barrier when air is cut.
Maintains belt or cable tension in large material handling systems, automatically extending to slacken the line upon exhaust.
For lighter tensioning tasks, the 50 mm bore version provides a 824.6 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need maximum retraction force, this 63 mm unit is the largest available. Travel is limited to a 10 mm stroke here; any movement beyond the 30 mm maximum single-acting limit requires a double-acting ACQ. Verify ordering details: bore, stroke, male M18x1.5 rod thread, and note this specific configuration ships without a magnet.
Quick checklist
It provides 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 to overcome the return spring, supports a maximum stroke of 30 mm for this bore, and the spring extends the rod upon air exhaust.
It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the ends, not an adjustable air cushion. In a fail-safe scenario where air pressure is lost, the internal spring automatically pushes the rod to the extended position. Note this -B variant lacks a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for external solid-state or reed switches.
