Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 10mm 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 ACQD100X10B
The AirTAC ACQD100X10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a short 10mm stroke. Because a piston rod protrudes from both ends, the effective annular area is identical in each direction. This yields equal force extending and retracting, providing 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. The twin rods inherently resist rotation and extend the guiding length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing a separate external guide.
This specific configuration includes the -B option, meaning the rod ends feature male M26x1.5 threads for direct load coupling. It uses a PT3/8 port and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-of-stroke impact, rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this unit ships without a magnet; while the body retains sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, detecting piston position requires adding a magnet separately.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 ACQD100X10B Is Used
Twin-Guided Heavy Press
Ideal for a heavy-duty stamping or pressing station where the dual rods prevent platform twisting under high eccentric loads during sheet metal deformation.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a bilateral transfer carriage on a packaging line, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent cycling speeds in both directions.
Dual-Station Actuator
Actuates two separate clamps or stations simultaneously from a single compact body, using the second protruding rod end to drive a secondary mechanism.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore provides massive symmetric thrust, peaking at 719kgf at 1.0MPa. If your application requires slightly less force, the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa. For even heavier loads, the 125mm option provides 5733.8N at 0.5MPa. A standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is preferable if you only need unidirectional thrust and want a shorter overall footprint. If your mechanism already utilizes an external linear guide, the double-rod feature here might be redundant. Confirm your ordering essentials: this ACQD100X10B variant has a 10mm stroke, male M26x1.5 rod threads, and no magnet.
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 ACQD100X10B FAQ
This cylinder delivers equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the rod occupies both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The standard maximum stroke available for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
No, a standard ACQ-type cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end and does not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
