The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X35SB 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 ACQD100X35SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 35mm stroke. A Ø32mm piston rod protrudes from both ends, creating equal annular areas. This yields identical push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. Twin rods inherently resist rotation and extend guide length, supporting substantial tooling platforms without requiring separate anti-rotation guides.
This configuration includes a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. The body uses a compact C-clip and riveted construction with PT3/8 ports. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends absorb impact energy rather than adjustable pneumatic cushions. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load, and the magnetic grooves accept reed or solid-state switches.

| 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.
| 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 heavy pallet-straightening stations on packaging lines, using the dual rods to prevent platform twist under high 4934.8N loads.
Powers opposing clamp assemblies in automotive component transfer, leveraging equal push and pull forces for balanced cycle timing.
Actuates a primary tooling fixture while the second rod end simultaneously triggers a remote solid-state sensor flag on a CNC press.
At 0.5MPa this 100mm bore generates 3524.8N both ways; stepping down to an 80mm bore drops the force to 2267.8N, while a 125mm bore raises it to 5733.8N. Choose the ACQD100X35SB when your application demands high equal-force pushing and pulling within a 100mm standard stroke envelope. If your mechanism only needs unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ might offer a lighter footprint. For applications needing fail-safe load holding on air loss, pair this cylinder with an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end. Confirm the M26x1.5 male thread and PT3/8 port when ordering.
Quick checklist
The cylinder provides 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 double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption rather than adjustable air cushions. The -S option provides a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Additionally, the -B option provides a male M26x1.5 thread on both rod ends for direct mounting.
