Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X150S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 150mm 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 ACQD100X150S
The AirTAC ACQD100X150S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 150mm stroke. Because twin Ø32mm rods protrude from both ends, the effective piston area is identical in each direction. This yields perfectly equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, enabling highly symmetric cycling without force mismatch.
This 150mm unit is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this bore size. The extended guide length provided by the dual rods resists torsion without needing an external anti-rotation guide, while the second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load. It uses fixed NBR bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the included -S magnet works seamlessly with reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X150S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X150S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 ACQD100X150S Is Used
Twin-Guided Heavy Pusher
Drives a large machining fixture platform where the dual rods absorb lateral stress and prevent deflection during heavy metalworking clamping.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Powers a 150mm travel parts shuttle on an automotive assembly line, utilizing the equal bidirectional force to maintain smooth, balanced indexing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary cam or ejector via the rear rod end on a packaging machine while the front rod executes the main 100mm bore pressing task.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X150S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore, dropping down to an 80mm model provides 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 125mm yields 5733.8N. Choose this 150mm stroke only if your machine requires a longer reach, as it is a nonstandard long-stroke configuration. If your application demands precise single-sided linear motion without torsional loads, a single-rod ACQ or a guided TACQ cylinder might be a better fit. Confirm your ordering essentials: the default female M20x2.5 rod-end thread, PT3/8 port, and the required -S magnet option for switch sensing.
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 ACQD100X150S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. The 150mm stroke is a nonstandard long-stroke variant exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this bore. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same annular piston area in both chambers.
The dual rods provide a longer guide length and high torsional resistance without needing an external guide. It uses fixed NBR bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, which are not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold position when air is lost; if fail-safe load holding is required, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
