Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30B 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 ACQD100X30B
The AirTAC ACQD100X30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies both internal chambers, the effective annular area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. This bore uses a Ø32mm piston rod, PT3/8 ports, and a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling.
The symmetrical twin-rod layout resists rotation and provides an extended bearing length, allowing a tooling platform to be guided without requiring an external anti-rotation guide. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding external switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X30B Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Tool
Drives a heavy stamping or press fixture in a metalworking cell where the second rod end prevents platform yaw without an external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Pushes pallets equally in both directions on a packaging line, leveraging the identical annular area thrust for consistent forward and return cycle timing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station assembly machine where one rod end moves the primary workpiece while the opposite end directly mounts a mechanical flag or secondary stop.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30B the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore actuator when a compact footprint must deliver high bidirectional force up to 719kgf at 1.0MPa. For slightly lower force needs, the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 125mm bore yields 5733.8N at 0.5MPa if your application demands even greater thrust. If your mechanism requires holding position on air loss, remember that a standard ACQD body drifts without pressure; you will need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Choose the single-rod ACQ series if equal force is unnecessary and you need maximum forward thrust.
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 ACQD100X30B FAQ
This 100mm bore double-rod cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum thrust of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. The push and pull forces are identical because the rod occupies both chambers, creating the same annular area in each direction. It has a 30mm stroke, a maximum standard stroke limit of 100mm, PT3/8 ports, and a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread.
Deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both stroke ends, which are not adjustable; for high energy loads, add an external shock absorber. The twin-rod design resists rotation and increases guide length. Note that this model ships without a piston magnet, and a plain ACQD cannot hold a load if air pressure is lost—you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
