Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 5mm 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 ACQD100X5
The AirTAC ACQD100X5 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with twin piston rods extending from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal 3524.8 N force at 0.5 MPa for advance and retract. This symmetry prevents push-pull force imbalance, ensuring consistent cycling in tight machinery layouts.
Twin rods resist torsional deflection and extend guide length, allowing a 100 mm bore body to carry a heavy tool platform without an external anti-rotation guide. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the un-magnified body retains sensor grooves for adding reed or solid-state switches later. It handles up to 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa and operates at 30-500 mm/s.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ACQD100X5 Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Head
Drives a heavy stamping head in an assembly cell, using the dual rods to prevent rotational drift during high-force metal forming operations.
Symmetric Transfer Clamp
Actuates a heavy-duty material clamp on a conveyor line, utilizing the equal push and pull force to secure and release steel plates smoothly.
Dual-Station Ejector
Powers a short-stroke ejection mechanism on a packaging machine, leveraging the second rod end to mount a mechanical flag for sequencing.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5 the Right Cylinder?
For 5 mm micro-stroke tasks needing roughly 3500 N both ways, this 100 mm bore fits exactly. If your application needs less force, the 80 mm bore provides 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa. If higher force is required, the 125 mm bore yields 5733.8 N. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you only need unidirectional thrust and want to save space, or a guided TACQ if your load exceeds the torsional limits of the twin rods. Confirm the female M20x2.5 rod end and PT3/8 port for your plumbing setup.
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 ACQD100X5 FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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 100 mm bore is 100 mm.
No, a standard ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers only decelerate impact near stroke ends, they do not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
