Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15S 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 ACQD100X15S
The AirTAC ACQD100X15S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 15mm stroke. A Ø32mm piston rod protrudes from both ends, utilizing the same annular area in each chamber to generate identical push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric force output is ideal for balanced actuation cycles.
The twin rods inherently resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at both stroke ends, while the integrated -S piston magnet supports reed or solid-state electronic switches via the body grooves. The standard female M20x2.5 rod-end thread and PT3/8 port ensure straightforward integration.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X15S Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Tool
Drives a 100mm bore stamping platform in an automotive parts plant, using the dual rods to maintain strict parallelism and prevent deflection during high-force metal forming.
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Positions heavy pallets on a packaging conveyor where equal push and pull forces are required to advance and retract loads without asymmetric acceleration.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a clamping mechanism on a CNC machining center, using the second rod end to drive a sensor flag for confirming the 15mm stroke position.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X15S the Right Cylinder?
For 0.5MPa operations needing roughly 2267.8N, stepping down to an Ø80 bore is recommended, while moving up to an Ø125 bore provides 5733.8N for heavier payloads. If your mechanism only requires force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is more space-efficient. For applications demanding extreme lateral load support, a guided TACQ module might be a better fit. Confirm your ordering essentials: the ACQD100X15S includes the magnet, uses a 15mm stroke, and features a female rod thread.
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 ACQD100X15S FAQ
The cylinder 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. Because a rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, making push and pull forces equal. The standard stroke limit for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
No, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Additionally, a plain ACQD cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
