Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 15mm 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 ACQD100X15
The AirTAC ACQD100X15 is a JIS compact, double-acting cylinder with a 100mm bore and 15mm stroke. A 32mm piston rod extends from both ends, making the effective annular area identical in each direction. This yields equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, ideal for symmetric cycles.
Dual rods resist twisting and provide an extended guide length, removing the need for an external anti-rotation guide on heavy tooling. The compact riveted body includes NBR bumpers fixed at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. It features a PT3/8 port and a female M20x2.5 rod end thread.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 ACQD100X15 Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a heavy stamping anvil on an automotive line, using the dual rods to prevent yaw without an external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer
Shifts a heavy pallet in a materials handling station, relying on the matching push and pull forces for consistent dwell timing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates a clamping fixture on a packaging machine, using the second rod end to mount a mechanical flag for a proximity sensor.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15 the Right Cylinder?
For 15mm travel, this 100mm bore yields 3524.8N both ways; sizing down to the 80mm bore drops force to 2267.8N, while stepping up to 125mm raises it to 5733.8N at 0.5MPa. If your application only needs force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ provides higher push than pull. For heavy lateral loads requiring a longer bearing span, a guided TACQ fits better. Confirm the PT3/8 port, female M20x2.5 thread, and 15mm stroke when ordering.
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 ACQD100X15 FAQ
The 100mm bore and 32mm twin rods create an identical annular area both ways, so push and pull forces are equal: 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm, and this 15mm version can hold up to 719kgf at 1.0MPa.
The twin rods exiting both ends prevent rotation and extend guide length. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the load near stroke ends, but they are not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
