About the AirTAC ACQ20
The AirTAC ACQ20 is a double-acting compact (ultra-thin) cylinder with a 20 mm bore and a 10 mm piston rod. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 157 N and pulls 118 N; at 0.7 MPa that rises to 220 N push and 165 N pull. Force depends on bore and pressure only, so every stroke on this page gives the same output.
All ACQ20 versions share M5 air ports, an M5×0.8 female rod thread (B versions have a M8×1.25 male rod end) and rubber bumpers at both ends. The cylinder runs on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa (proof 1.5 MPa), from -20 to +70 °C, at 30 to 500 mm/s. This page lists 117 stock order codes with strokes from 5 to 130 mm; catalog standard strokes run up to 100 mm, and the longer codes are non-standard strokes we already supply.
ACQ20 Technical Specifications

| Catalog standard stroke | up to 100 mm (longer on request) |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | M5 (PT standard) |

Theoretical output force (Ø20 mm)
| Pressure | Push | Pull |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | 165 N |
Push = pressure × bore area; pull subtracts the Ø10 mm rod area. Usable force is lower because of friction and back-pressure.

Where the ACQ20 Is Used
Pick-and-place and transfer
About 157 N at 0.5 MPa suits pushers, stoppers and transfer slides.
Packaging machines
Carton pushers, gates and diverters on packaging lines.
Sensed positioning
Magnet versions report stroke ends to the PLC through cylinder sensors.
Choosing the Right ACQ20 Configuration
Start with the stroke. Pick the exact travel your machine needs; a longer stroke adds length, weight and air consumption without adding force. If your length is not listed, request a quote and we will confirm whether it can be built.
Then choose the mounting. Basic (no code) uses the cylinder's own mounting holes. This bore is stocked with LB foot, FA front flange, FB rear flange, CB double clevis. Foot and flange mountings hold the cylinder rigid for straight-line loads; clevis and trunnion mountings let it pivot when the load moves in an arc.
Finally pick the version: S adds a magnet for position sensors; the standard seal suits general automation; B gives a male threaded rod end instead of the standard female thread; H (FKM) is for higher temperatures or oil-contaminated air.
AirTAC ACQ20 FAQ
No. Every ACQ20 gives about 157 N push and 118 N pull at 0.5 MPa, whatever the stroke.
M5 ports, PT thread as standard.
Basic plus LB foot, FA front flange, FB rear flange, CB double clevis. Use foot or flange for straight-line loads, clevis or trunnion when the cylinder must pivot.
Usually yes. Request a quote with the stroke, mounting and version and we will confirm whether it can be built, plus price and lead time.
0.15 to 1.0 MPa operating pressure (proof 1.5 MPa) and -20 to +70 °C on filtered air.
No. You can order a single ACQ20. Orders are processed and handed to the carrier within 3-5 business days.
