Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15B 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 ACQD100X15B
The AirTAC ACQD100X15B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with twin rods extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. The Ø100mm bore uses a Ø32mm rod, a PT3/8 port, and a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling. The 15mm stroke moves a tool platform rapidly between stops.
Dual rods resist rotation and provide extended guide length without needing an external anti-rotation guide. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, which are not adjustable. The body features magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Note that a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if fail-safe holding is required.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X15B Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Tool
Drives a stamping die in an automotive parts plant where the second rod end prevents deflection and maintains parallelism under high impact.
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Positions heavy pallets on a packaging conveyor, using the equal push and pull force to advance and retract loads without force imbalance.
Dual-Station Actuation
Indexes a clamping mechanism on a CNC machining center, using the opposite rod end to trip a limit flag for stroke confirmation.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15B the Right Cylinder?
For a 100mm bore at 0.5MPa, this model generates 3524.8N of force both ways. If less force is acceptable, the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N. If higher force is needed, the 125mm bore yields 5733.8N. The 15mm stroke is well within the 100mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Choose this ACQD when symmetric push/pull cycles and resistance to rotation are needed; a single-rod ACQ fits better if pull force can be lower than push, and a guided TACQ suits heavier side-load applications. The -B suffix confirms the male M26x1.5 rod thread, and the standard PT3/8 port should be matched to your fittings.
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 ACQD100X15B FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal due to the double-rod annular area: 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. The maximum force is 719kgf at 1.0MPa. The stroke is 15mm, and the maximum standard stroke for a 100mm bore is 100mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa.
The twin rods exiting both ends resist rotation and provide a longer guide length without needing an external guide. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, which are not adjustable. For high kinetic energy loads, an external shock absorber is recommended.
