Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 30mm 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 ACQD100X30
The AirTAC ACQD100X30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 30mm stroke. Because twin rods protrude from both body ends, the effective annular area remains identical in either travel direction. This geometry yields equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, ensuring perfectly symmetric thrust cycles for heavy tooling.
A 32mm diameter piston rod and PT3/8 porting handle the substantial airflow required for this capacity. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact energy at stroke extremes without requiring adjustment. Furthermore, the dual-rod layout inherently resists torsional loads and extends guide bearing length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide while allowing a secondary sensor flag or load attachment on the opposite end.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 ACQD100X30 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives heavy pallets or chassis frames on automotive assembly lines where identical push and pull thrust prevents stalling during bidirectional transfer.
Twin-Guided Stamping Platform
Presses small metal or plastic components in electronics manufacturing, relying on the dual rods to prevent torsional deflection without an external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates a secondary mechanism or mounts a sensor flag on the rear rod end in packaging machinery, saving space by actuating two stations from one body.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30 the Right Cylinder?
Outputting 3524.8N at 0.5MPa, this 100mm bore sits between the 80mm option (2267.8N) and the larger 125mm variant (5733.8N). Choose this size when your application demands substantial equal bidirectional thrust within a 100mm stroke limit. If your mechanism only requires unidirectional push force, a single-rod ACQ series provides a more compact footprint. For pure vertical lifting without air loss protection, integrate an external pilot check valve since this cylinder drifts when supply pressure is removed. Ensure you specify the female M20x2.5 rod-end thread and PT3/8 porting when ordering.
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 ACQD100X30 FAQ
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. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods occupy both chambers, making the effective annular piston area the same in either direction. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm, and operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0MPa.
No, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Additionally, this specific configuration ships without a magnet (-S omitted), meaning it cannot trigger reed or solid-state switches, although the body retains the standard sensor grooves for future use.
