The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X25S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 25mm 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.
The AirTAC ACQD100X25S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø32mm rods that exit both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced cycling tasks.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends guiding depth without needing an external non-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a second load or mount a sensor flag. It includes a -S piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches, fixed NBR bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, and PT3/8 ports.

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.
| 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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). The twin rods resist rotation and add guiding length. Related: ACQ (single rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke), TACQ (guided).
Drives a heavy machining fixture vertically using both rod ends to keep the platform perfectly level under high load without twisting.
Pushes and pulls a 100mm stroke shuttle between two machining stations with identical 4934.8N thrust in both directions.
Uses the secondary rod end to trigger a positional limit flag on an automotive assembly line while the primary end performs the pressing action.
Select this 100mm bore with a 25mm stroke when your fixture requires high bidirectional force (up to 719kgf at 1.0MPa) within a short footprint. If you need slightly less thrust, the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N at 0.5MPa; stepping up to the 125mm bore offers 5733.8N at 0.5MPa. Choose a single-rod ACQ if your mechanism only pulls or pushes from one side and rotation is already constrained. Confirm the female M20x2.5 rod-end thread and PT3/8 port size during ordering.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. Because the twin rods occupy both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, making thrust symmetric. The standard stroke limit is 100mm, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa, and the port size is PT3/8.
Deceleration relies on fixed NBR bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches in the body grooves. It does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
