Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10S 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.

About the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10S
The AirTAC ATQ63X10S is a single-acting pull-type compact cylinder where supplying air to one port retracts the 20mm rod, while an internal spring extends it upon exhaust. It delivers a theoretical pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. The return spring lowers the net output, so confirm the exact usable force from the datasheet for your setup.
Featuring a 63mm bore and a 10mm stroke, this JIS-format actuator operates between 0.2 and 1.0 MPa. It relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the ends for end-of-travel deceleration rather than an adjustable cushion. Because this variant includes the -S magnet, it supports position detection using either reed or solid-state electronic switches mounted in the body grooves.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10S Technical Specifications

| 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm, Pull)
| 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.

Where the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10S Is Used
Heavy Pin Extraction
Retracts to pull a heavy locking pin out of a large fixture or mold base, relying on the spring to safely re-extend the pin when air is removed.
Gate Retraction
Draws back a heavy-duty stop gate on an assembly conveyor, using the high theoretical pull force to overcome significant mechanical friction.
Tensioning Mechanism
Maintains tension on a belt or cable drive system by pulling back a tensioning idler, with the internal spring providing a fail-safe release.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X10S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63mm bore actuator, compare its 1401.5 N theoretical pull at 0.5 MPa against the 50mm bore option, which provides 824.6 N. As the largest available frame in this series, stepping up beyond 63mm requires a different cylinder family. The 10mm stroke is well within the 30mm maximum limit for this bore; if your application needs longer travel, switch to the double-acting ACQ series. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63mm bore, 10mm stroke, -S magnet, and the default female M10x1.5 rod thread.
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 ATQ63X10S FAQ
It provides a theoretical pull of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa before spring deduction. The internal spring extends the rod on exhaust, lowering net output. Operating pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 30 mm.
If air pressure drops below 0.2 MPa or is lost entirely, the internal spring automatically extends the rod to its rest position. End-of-stroke impact is managed by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
