The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X35B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 35mm 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 ACQD100X35B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding exactly 3524.8N of force at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa on both the push and pull strokes. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring identical motion dynamics in both travel directions.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and provides an extended guide length, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide in many setups. The non-magnetic body includes sensor grooves for adding reed or solid-state switches later, while the M26x1.5 male rod thread couples directly to your tooling. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions.

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 dual-sided parts shuttle in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent cycle timing in both directions.
Supports a small stamping tool in an electronics factory, relying on the two rods to prevent torsion without adding a separate external guide rail.
Powers a two-station clamping fixture on an automotive assembly line, using the second rod end to mount a sensor flag for intermediate position confirmation.
Selecting this 100mm bore with a 35mm stroke provides 4934.8N of bi-directional thrust at 0.7MPa. If less power is needed, the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa; stepping up to the 125mm bore provides 5733.8N at 0.5MPa. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you only need unidirectional push force and have spatial constraints. For heavy lateral loads requiring external guidance, a TACQ profile body might serve better. Confirm your porting (PT3/8) and the M26x1.5 male thread fit before ordering.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod occupies both chambers. It generates 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum load of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. The max standard stroke for this 100mm bore is 100mm, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa, and the port size is PT3/8.
No, a standard ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. End-of-stroke deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
