Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30S 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 ACQD100X30S
The AirTAC ACQD100X30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 100mm bore and 30mm stroke, featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies both internal chambers, the effective annular area is identical in each direction. This means push and pull forces are equal, generating exactly 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa in either travel direction.
The dual-rod layout resists torsion and extends the guide length, allowing the unit to carry a substantial tool platform directly without needing a separate external anti-rotation guide. The protruding second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions, and the -S piston magnet works seamlessly with reed or solid-state electronic switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X30S Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Pusher
Drives a heavy stamping platform in an automotive parts plant, using the dual rods to prevent torsion and maintain precise parallel contact during high-tonnage pressing cycles.
Symmetric Transfer Arm
Powers a dual-action transfer mechanism on a packaging conveyor, leveraging the equal push and pull forces to execute perfectly balanced bi-directional product hand-offs.
Dual-Station Actuation
Indexes a secondary tooling carriage on a large CNC machining center via the rear rod end, while the front rod performs the primary clamping operation simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X30S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, the smaller 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, while the larger 125mm variant provides 5733.8N at the same pressure, making this 100mm bore the right pick for loads requiring around 3.5kN of symmetrical force. If your application only needs unidirectional push force and can tolerate unequal return strength, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is more compact. If your load requires fail-safe holding upon air loss, remember this cylinder drifts without pressure; you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Order essentials: confirm the PT3/8 port, the default female M20x2.5 rod-end thread, and the 100mm max standard stroke limit.
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 ACQD100X30S FAQ
This 100mm bore double-acting cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are identical because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 100mm.
End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy impacts. The -S magnet supports reed or solid-state electronic switches for position sensing. It does not hold its load when air pressure is lost; a separate external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe positioning.
