Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X5
The AirTAC Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X5 is a genuine single-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder (single acting, pull type) with a Ø63mm 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 ATQ63X5
The ATQ63X5 is a JIS compact single-acting pull cylinder where air retracts the 20mm rod and an internal spring extends it. It delivers a theoretical pull of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa before spring loss. This makes it suitable for heavy-duty tensioning within a 5mm travel.
This unit uses a PT1/4 port and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact. The body features magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without the -S magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.2-1.0MPa, requiring 0.2MPa minimum to overcome the return spring.
Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X5 Technical Specifications

| Series | ATQ JIS compact single-acting cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 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 (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 ATQ63X5 Is Used
Heavy Pin Extraction
Retracts to pull a heavy locating pin out of a fixture during automotive machining.
Gate Retraction
Pulls a safety gate closed against spring tension on a large assembly line.
Tensioning Clamp
Draws a clamping arm back to apply precise tension on metal forming equipment.
Is the Airtac ATQ Single Acting Thin Cylinder ATQ63X5 the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the ATQ50X5 offers 824.6N theoretical pull at 0.5MPa. As bore 63 is the largest available, longer travel beyond 30mm requires a double-acting ACQ. To order, confirm the 63mm bore, 5mm stroke, female M10x1.5 rod thread, and whether a magnet or male M18x1.5 thread is needed.
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 ATQ63X5 FAQ
It provides a theoretical pull of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa before the return spring lowers net output. It is single-acting pull type with spring extend, requires 0.2MPa minimum pressure, and has a 5mm stroke (max 30mm for this bore).
Loss of air pressure causes the internal spring to extend the rod to its rest position. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the ends absorb impact, but external shock absorption is recommended for high-speed approaches since this model lacks a sensor magnet.
