Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X300B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X300B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 300mm 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 ACQD100X300B
The AirTAC ACQD100X300B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 300mm stroke. Because twin rods exit both ends, the annular piston area remains identical in each direction, yielding exactly 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa whether pushing or pulling. This symmetric force output is ideal for balanced cycling, while the dual rods inherently resist rotation and extend the guide length without needing an external anti-rotation guide.
This long-stroke made-to-order variant stretches past the standard 100mm maximum reach for this bore size. It includes a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling, a PT3/8 port, and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration instead of an adjustable air cushion. Note that this configuration omits the internal magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for external proximity mounting.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X300B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X300B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 300 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 ACQD100X300B Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide format material pusher on a woodworking conveyor, using the dual rods to maintain platform alignment and prevent twisting under heavy 100mm bore thrust.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers a dual-station actuation unit on packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to move products smoothly in both directions across a 300mm reach.
Dual-End Tooling Drive
Operates a secondary assembly mechanism on an automotive line, using the protruding second rod end to mount a sensor flag while the primary side handles the main load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X300B the Right Cylinder?
For tasks needing 3524.8N of symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore fits perfectly, offering up to 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. If your application requires less force, consider the 80mm bore delivering 2267.8N. If higher payload capacity is necessary, the 125mm bore provides 5733.8N. A single-rod ACQ might suffice if equal bidirectional thrust is irrelevant, and a guided TACQ could be better for extreme lateral loads. Confirm the 300mm long-stroke requirement and the male M26x1.5 thread 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 ACQD100X300B FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The forces are identical both ways because the twin rods create the same annular area in each chamber. The 300mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 100mm bore.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide a longer guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts if pressure drops. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
