About the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X80
The AirTAC ACQ100X80 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered to deliver substantial thrust within a minimal axial footprint. Utilizing a C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly, the short body design conserves valuable machine depth where a conventional round-body actuator simply cannot fit. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
This specific configuration features an 80 mm stroke and a robust 32 mm piston rod with a female M20x2.5 thread. Deceleration at the stroke endpoints is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. The aluminum body includes integrated magnetic-switch grooves, though this particular SKU ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X80 Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides the robust 3927 N extension force required to eject dense plastic parts from heavy injection molding machinery without consuming excessive press depth.
Automotive Press Staging
Handles the positioning of heavy sheet metal blanks on automotive assembly lines, utilizing the 32 mm rod to withstand substantial axial loads during press feeding.
Palletizer Lift Stations
Drives vertical lifting mechanisms in end-of-line palletizing equipment, where the fixed NBR bumpers reliably absorb the kinetic energy of heavy payload transitions.
Is the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X80 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options. Stepping down, the ACQ80 provides 2513.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to the ACQ125 yields 6135.9 N. Keep in mind that a standard ACQ body lacks fail-safe holding capability; if air pressure drops or the valve centers, the rod will drift. For critical load-holding applications, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. When ordering, verify the 80 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M20x2.5 rod thread, and the absence of the sensor magnet.
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 ACQ100X80 FAQ
This 100 mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 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. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
It relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber or slow the approach. The body features sensor grooves, but this specific model lacks the internal magnet, so reed or electronic switches cannot be used without modifying the build.
