Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90H
The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90H is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø100mm bore and 90mm 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 ACQ100X90H
The AirTAC ACQ100X90 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered to deliver a robust 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and 5497.8 N at 0.7 MPa. Its C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly drastically reduce overall axial length compared to conventional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint in tight assemblies.
This 100 mm bore variant features a 32 mm piston rod and a PT3/8 port. Deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end rather than an adjustable air cushion, meaning external shock absorbers should be added for high-energy cycles. It ships with a female M20x2.5 rod-end thread and no sensor magnet.

Where the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90H Is Used
Injection Mold Ejection
Provides the heavy push force required to eject dense plastic parts from injection molding tools within a short axial mounting envelope.
Pallet Flap Folding
Drives large mechanical arms to fold cardboard flaps on heavy palletizing lines where high force and a 90 mm stroke are necessary.
Metal Stamping Feed
Actuates robust clamping jaws to hold thick steel coils in place during stamping press feeding operations.
Is the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90H the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 90 mm stroke model places you near the top of the standard range for this bore, which caps at 100 mm. If you need slightly less force, the 80 mm bore offers 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not possible as 100 mm is the largest standard diameter before the big-bore tier. Remember that a plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
Verify your ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M20x2.5 rod thread, and no magnet. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves for future sensing upgrades if needed.
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 ACQ100X90H FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3524.8 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push force is 5497.8 N. The maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
No, it uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at the stroke ends to absorb impact. It is not a field-adjustable air cushion, so for high-speed or high-energy loads you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
