Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45B 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 ACQD100X45B
The AirTAC ACQD100X45B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area remains identical in both directions, generating exactly 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa for perfectly symmetric push and pull cycles. This 100mm bore actuator provides a substantial 719kgf maximum force. The male M26x1.5 rod-end threads couple directly to your tooling, while the PT3/8 ports supply ample airflow.
Instead of an adjustable air cushion, each end cap contains a fixed NBR elastomer bumper to decelerate motion near stroke limits. The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and extends guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. Note that this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet; however, the body retains sensor grooves for future upgrades. For high kinetic energy loads, install an external shock absorber to prevent bumper degradation.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X45B Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Tool
Drives a heavy stamping platform in an automotive parts plant, relying on the dual rods to maintain parallelism and prevent deflection during high-tonnage metal forming.
Symmetric Transfer Clamp
Actuates a dual-station clamping fixture on a CNC machining center, using the identical push and pull forces to secure and release heavy workpieces with balanced pressure.
Dual-End Actuation Drive
Powers a heavy-duty assembly station where one rod end moves the primary tooling while the opposite end mounts a mechanical flag to trigger external mechanical limit switches.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X45B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore actuator, stepping down to an 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to a 125mm bore provides 5733.8N at 0.5MPa. Choose the 100mm variant when your application demands approximately 3.5kN to 4.9kN of thrust alongside inherent non-rotation stability. If your mechanism already features an external linear guide and only needs basic actuation, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might suffice. Remember that this specific unit uses a 45mm stroke within the 100mm standard maximum, incorporates male M26x1.5 threads, and uses PT3/8 porting.
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 ACQD100X45B 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 capacity of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. The push and pull forces are identical because the rod occupies both chambers, making the effective annular area the same in each direction. The stroke is 45mm, and the maximum standard stroke available for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold its load when air is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers only decelerate motion near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
