Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90S 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 ACQ100X90S
The AirTAC ACQ100X90S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for substantial thrust, providing 3927 N of push force and 3524.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Its short C-clip and riveted body design significantly reduces axial mounting depth compared to conventional round-body units, conserving machine footprint in tight assemblies.
Fitted with a 32 mm piston rod and a PT3/8 port, this unit incorporates a built-in magnet for position sensing. The bore is hard-anodized for longevity, and the end stops rely on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, meaning high-energy cycles may require external shock absorption or a slowed approach speed.

Where the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90S Is Used
Metal Stamping Press
Provides the robust 3927 N extension force needed to actuate a heavy-duty stamping die set, while the 90 mm stroke accommodates deep-draw tooling operations.
Injection Mold Ejection
Utilizes the integrated -S magnet to trigger reed or electronic switches, confirming the ejection stroke of large plastic parts from an injection molding machine.
Pallet Lifting Station
Lifts heavy loaded pallets within a packaging line, where the compact C-clip body minimizes vertical space requirements and the NBR bumper absorbs the end-stop impact.
Is the Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ100X90S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing your drive, stepping down to the 80 mm bore yields 2513.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 125 mm big-bore variant provides 6135.9 N. This 100 mm model delivers a maximum push capacity of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa, making it well-suited for heavy pressing and lifting tasks. To finalize your order, confirm the 100 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, PT3/8 port, female M20x2.5 rod thread, and the required -S magnet option.
Note that a standard ACQ body does not hold its position if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. If your application requires fail-safe load holding against gravity, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into the pneumatic 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 ACQ100X90S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 3927 N and the pull force is 3524.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 5497.8 N. The maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke available for the 100 mm bore is 100 mm.
No, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than field-adjustable air cushions. Additionally, it does not hold its load if air is lost; the piston drifts and the bumper only decelerates it near the stroke end. An external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
