Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X175S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X175S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm stroke, PT3/8 air ports and a C-clip / riveted short body that saves mounting depth. Magnetic-switch slots around the body accept position sensors.

About the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X175S
The AirTAC ACQ100X175S is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for substantial actuation tasks, providing 3927 N of push force and 3524.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Because this 175 mm stroke exceeds the 100 mm standard maximum for this bore size, it is configured as a made-to-order long-stroke variant within the Ø32-100 range, extending up to 300 mm.
This unit features a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing via AirTAC reed or electronic switches fitted into the body grooves. Deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning high-energy cycles may require an external shock absorber to manage the impact safely.

Where the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X175S Is Used
Automotive Body Welding Clamp
Drives large robotic welding guns on automotive assembly lines, utilizing the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa to firmly hold heavy steel panels during the spot-welding process.
Pallet Transfer Pusher
Executes 175 mm strokes to index loaded pallets between heavy-duty roller conveyor sections, relying on the long-stroke body to clear adjacent transport lanes.
Injection Mold Ejector
Provides the extended reach and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa needed to positively eject large molded plastic bins from deep injection tooling cavities.
Is the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X175S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing your system, consider the force scaling: stepping down to a 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100 mm bore provides 3927 N, and moving up to the 125 mm big-bore tier increases that output to 6135.9 N. Ensure your ordering essentials match the 100 mm bore, 175 mm non-standard stroke, PT3/8 port, female M20x2.5 rod end, and the required -S sensor magnet.
Remember that a standard compact body does not maintain its position if air pressure drops or the directional valve is centered; the rod will drift, and the fixed bumper only softens the end-of-stroke stop. For fail-safe load holding, incorporate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your circuit.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short-body depth vs. a round-body cylinder
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
- ✓ Side load — avoid on a compact rod
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Very long strokes are unsuitable for the compact body.
- check Handle the C-clip carefully; seat it fully in its groove.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X175S FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 3927 N push and 3524.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT3/8 port, a 32 mm piston rod, and operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
No, the ACQ100X175S uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact, which is not field-adjustable. For high-speed or high-energy loads, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach velocity.
