Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10S 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 ACQD100X10S
The AirTAC ACQD100X10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods extending from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa. This 100mm bore, 10mm stroke model provides substantial thrust without needing an external anti-rotation guide.
A fixed NBR elastomer bumper absorbs impact energy at stroke ends, meaning there are no adjustable air cushions to tune. The integrated piston magnet (-S) allows tracking via reed or solid-state switches fitted directly into the body grooves. With a Ø32mm rod and PT3/8 porting, this 719 kgf capacity actuator resists torsion while offering a second rod end for mounting a sensor flag or secondary load.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X10S Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Pusher
Drives a symmetrical stamping platform in an automotive parts plant, using the second rod end to mount a flag for a solid-state sensor.
Symmetric Transfer Diverter
Diverts heavy packages on a logistics conveyor where equal push and pull force ensures stable bi-directional routing without rotational drift.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a two-sided clamping mechanism on a large CNC machining center, utilizing the twin rods to maintain precise parallel clamping.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X10S the Right Cylinder?
For 0.5 MPa thrust, this 100mm bore provides 3524.8 N both ways; stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2267.8 N, while 125mm is the next size up offering 5733.8 N. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you need higher extension force than retraction, or a guided TACQ when carrying extreme lateral loads. Confirm the 10mm stroke, M20x2.5 female rod-end thread, and PT3/8 porting for your setup.
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 ACQD100X10S FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create equal annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold its load when air is lost; the rod drifts and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
