Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X200
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X200 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 200mm 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 ACQD100X200
The AirTAC ACQD100X200 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm piston rod extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating an equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced actuation cycles.
The twin rods provide extended guide length and high torsional resistance, allowing a tooling platform to be carried directly without a separate external guide. This 200mm configuration is a made-to-order long-stroke variant exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this bore. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X200 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X200 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 200 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 ACQD100X200 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage in packaging machinery where equal push and pull thrust prevents load biasing during bidirectional product shifting.
Twin-Guided Stamping Platform
Carries a light stamping or marking head on CNC tooling platforms, utilizing the extended guide length of both rods to resist torsional deflection without external guides.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station clamping fixture on automotive assembly lines, using the second protruding rod end to mechanically trigger a sequence flag or secondary mechanism.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X200 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options: the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, while the 125mm bore provides 5733.8N. This ACQD100X200 provides 3524.8N at 0.5MPa, fitting applications needing substantial symmetric force. If your mechanism only requires single-direction thrust, a single-rod ACQ series is more space-efficient. For heavier lateral loads exceeding the twin rods' guide capacity, a guided TACQ series is recommended. Confirm ordering essentials: this unit ships without a sensor magnet, features a female M20x2.5 rod-end thread, and uses PT3/8 ports.
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 ACQD100X200 FAQ
The ACQD100X200 provides an equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The 200mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 100mm bore.
A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
