The AirTAC Airtac ACQ Ultra Thin Air Cylinder ACQ80X175 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (thin) air cylinder built to JIS dimensions, with a Ø80mm 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.
The AirTAC ACQ80X175 is a double-acting, single-rod JIS compact cylinder engineered for substantial linear thrust, delivering 2513.2 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. Because the 175 mm stroke exceeds the standard 100 mm maximum for this 80 mm bore, it is configured as a made-to-order long-stroke variant (extending up to 300 mm for the Ø32-Ø100 range). The C-clip and riveted piston-to-rod assembly minimize axial depth compared to traditional round-body units, saving valuable machine footprint.
This specific model features a 25 mm piston rod with a female M16x2.0 thread end and PT3/8 air ports. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, it relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-stop impact. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves around its circumference, though this particular unit ships without the internal magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a operational speed range of 30-500 mm/s.

Pushes heavy loaded pallets laterally across a packaging line, utilizing the 2513.2 N push force at 0.5 MPa to overcome sliding friction over a 175 mm displacement.
Acts as a long-stroke knockout pin assembly in plastic molding, driving finished parts clear of the tooling cavity where standard 100 mm strokes fall short.
Raises and lowers a weighted access gate on an automated assembly cell, relying on the 2267.8 N retract force to safely pull the 25 mm rod back against gravity.
Selecting this 80 mm bore involves balancing force and spatial constraints. If you need less thrust, the adjacent 63 mm bore provides 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the 100 mm bore yields 3927.0 N push at 0.5 MPa. When ordering this long-stroke configuration, confirm the 175 mm stroke requirement, the PT3/8 port size, the female M16x2.0 rod thread, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
Keep in mind that a standard compact cylinder like this does not inherently hold its position if air pressure drops or the directional valve is centered. The rod will drift, and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke endpoints rather than locking it. For fail-safe load holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 2513.2 N and the pull force is 2267.8 N. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 3518.5 N. The maximum push force is 513 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 uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, which is not an adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy loads, add an external shock absorber. It does not hold position on air loss; the rod drifts, requiring an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
