Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke. The twin rods resist rotation and give equal push and pull force, so it carries and guides a tool platform without a separate anti-rotation guide.

About the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100
The AirTAC ACQD100X100 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetry prevents directional force mismatch, enabling perfectly balanced advance and retract cycles.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends guiding distance, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without adding an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can simultaneously drive a secondary load or sensor flag. Equipped with a 32mm piston rod, PT3/8 ports, and an M20x2.5 female rod-end thread, it operates at 30-500 mm/s. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke extremes, offering consistent end-of-travel deceleration without adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Rod end thread | M20×2.5 female / M26×1.5 male (B) |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Cushion | Bumper (both ends) |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACQD datasheet. A rod exits both ends, so both directions use the same annular area. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3525 N | 3525 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 4935 N | 4935 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 719 kgf | |
Because a rod occupies both chambers, push and pull forces are EQUAL — the annular area applies in each direction. Actual usable force is lower due to friction; size with a safety margin.

Where the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100 Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Tooling
Drives a heavy stamping or press fixture where equal push and pull forces are critical, using the dual rods to maintain strict parallelism and resist torsion under high offset loads.
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Indexes materials on a packaging conveyor by pushing and retracting with identical 4934.8N force, ensuring consistent cycle timing without momentum variations between strokes.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates two synchronized workstations simultaneously from a single compact body, using the opposing rod end to drive a secondary mechanism or flag while maintaining stable alignment.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore actuator, consider the adjacent bores for your force requirements: the 80mm version provides 2267.8N, while the 125mm delivers 5733.8N at 0.5 MPa. This ACQD100X100 peaks at 719 kgf under 1.0 MPa. If your layout only requires force in one direction and rotation is not a concern, a single-rod ACQ series saves space. For applications needing precise lateral load guidance over longer strokes, a guided TACQ slide cylinder is preferable. Verify your setup requires the default female M20x2.5 thread, PT3/8 port, and the 100mm stroke length.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Equal force both ways at your pressure
- ✓ Anti-rotation needed (twin rods)?
- ✓ Both rod ends usable for tooling?
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Both rods share the load — keep force concentric.
- check Twin rods resist rotation but avoid heavy side load.
- check Handle the C-clip carefully; seat it fully in its groove.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X100 FAQ
The ACQD100X100 generates equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates equal annular areas on both sides of the piston. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm, and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa.
The twin rods prevent rotation and provide extended guide length without external rails. Impact is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions; add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss, so install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding.
