Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 45mm 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 ACQD100X45
The AirTAC ACQD100X45 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø32mm rods extending from both body ends. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions. This means push and pull forces are equal, generating exactly 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa in either travel direction.
The dual-rod architecture resists rotation and provides a longer guide length, allowing it to carry a heavy tool platform without needing a separate external guide. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. This specific variant ships without a magnet, yet the body retains sensor grooves for adding external switches, and its PT3/8 ports and female M20x2.5 rod-end threads simplify large-frame integration.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 ACQD100X45 Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Pusher
Drives a heavy stamping platform in an automotive parts line, using both rod ends to maintain parallelism and prevent twisting under high side loads.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Indexes a machining fixture back and forth equally, leveraging the identical annular push and pull areas to keep cycle times perfectly balanced.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary mechanism from the rear rod end while driving the primary tool from the front, eliminating the need for a separate actuator on large packaging machinery.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45 the Right Cylinder?
For 3524.8 N of symmetrical force at 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore is the top standard size before jumping to the 125mm option (5733.8 N). If your application only needs 2267.8 N, stepping down to the 80mm bore saves space. Choose this double-rod model when equal push/pull cycles and anti-rotation guiding are required; a single-rod ACQ fits better if you only need standard unidirectional actuation. Confirm your 45mm stroke, PT3/8 porting, and female M20x2.5 rod 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 ACQD100X45 FAQ
The cylinder delivers equal push and pull forces of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are equal because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 100mm bore is 100mm, and it operates on 0.15-1.0 MPa air pressure.
The twin rods exiting both ends resist rotation and provide extended guiding without an external guide block. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads. Note that a plain ACQD does not hold position if air pressure is lost; an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe load holding.
