The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X30S is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø63mm 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.
The AirTAC ATQ63X30S is a JIS compact single-acting pull cylinder. Feeding air to the single PT1/4 port retracts the Ø20mm rod, while exhausting the line lets an internal spring push it back out. This spring-extend design guarantees a fail-safe outward movement if air pressure drops. Theoretical pull force is 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa before spring loss.
This 63mm bore unit operates from 0.2 to 1.0 MPa and hits speeds of 50-500 mm/s. It integrates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the ends to soften end-of-stroke impact, unlike adjustable air cushions. The -S suffix provides a piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches, and the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread handles heavy loads.

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 binding pins out of metal stamping beds using pressurized retraction, relying on the spring to safely disengage the tooling when air is cut.
Holds back a loaded material routing gate on a conveyor by pulling it closed against tension, with the internal spring forcing the gate open during shutdown.
Draws a packaging clamp backward to release large palletized loads, using the 1962.2N theoretical pull at 0.7MPa to overcome mechanical friction.
For sizing down if 1401.5N at 0.5MPa is excessive, the 50mm bore offers 824.6N theoretical pull. As 63mm is the largest in this range, there is no larger option; for heavier demands a different series is required. This 30mm stroke hits the maximum limit for this bore; any longer travel requires a double-acting ACQ cylinder. Verify your order specifies the 63mm bore, 30mm stroke, -S magnet, and female M10x1.5 rod thread.
Quick checklist
It delivers a theoretical pull of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa before accounting for the return spring, which lowers net output. The minimum operating pressure is 0.2 MPa, and the 30mm stroke is the maximum standard limit for a 63mm bore.
Loss of air pressure causes the internal spring to extend the rod to its outward rest position, making it ideal for hold-down-release logic. To manage impact at high speeds, a fixed NBR elastomer bumper is built into the body ends rather than an adjustable air cushion.
