Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X50B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X50B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 50mm 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 ACQD100X50B
The AirTAC ACQD100X50B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a 32mm piston rod exits both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area stays identical in both directions, giving exactly 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa of push and pull force. This symmetry is ideal for cycles requiring identical opposing motions.
Twin rods provide a longer guide length and high resistance to torsion, letting you mount a tooling platform directly without an external anti-rotation guide. This specific variant includes male M26x1.5 rod-end threads for direct load coupling, fixed NBR bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, and a PT3/8 port. Note that without the -S magnet option, the body grooves cannot host reed or solid-state sensors.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X50B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X50B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 ACQD100X50B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pusher in packaging lines, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to move heavy cartons smoothly in both directions without torque deflection.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a machining fixture on the extended guide length of the dual rods, eliminating the need for a separate external guide rail in electronics assembly equipment.
Dual-Station Actuation
Simultaneously operates two separate clamps in an automotive parts press, using the second protruding rod end to actuate a secondary mechanism while maintaining torsional stability.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X50B the Right Cylinder?
Generating 3524.8N both ways at 0.5MPa, this 100mm bore suits heavy symmetric transfer tasks. If you need less thrust, the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N; stepping up to 125mm provides 5733.8N. Choose a single-rod ACQ if your application only requires unidirectional pushing. For this B-option model, confirm your load mates with the M26x1.5 male threads and that your manifold matches the PT3/8 port. The 50mm stroke falls well within the 100mm maximum standard travel for this bore.
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 ACQD100X50B FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force 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, creating the same annular area in each direction. The maximum standard stroke available for a 100mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQ-type cylinder drifts when air is lost; the fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate near the stroke end, so you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. The B option specifies a male M26x1.5 thread on the rod ends, allowing you to couple loads directly. Also, since this model lacks the -S magnet, it cannot trigger reed or solid-state switches despite having sensor grooves.
