Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5B 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 ACQD100X5B
The AirTAC ACQD100X5B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 5mm stroke, engineered with twin rods exiting both ends. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, generating perfectly equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for applications requiring consistent load cycling without force variation.
Built with a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread, this variant couples directly to your tooling platform. The twin rods inherently resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. While this specific unit ships without a magnet, the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for adding external reed or solid-state sensors if needed.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X5B Is Used
Precision Short-Stroke Pressing
Applies uniform 4934.8N clamping pressure in both extend and retract motions within automated metal stamping lines, utilizing the 5mm stroke for rapid contact.
Symmetric Load Transfer
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage in packaging machinery where the second protruding rod end synchronizes a secondary mechanism without torsional deflection.
Twin-Guided Ejection
Ejects heavy molded parts from an injection press using both rod ends to maintain strict parallelism, resisting rotational torque during high-force ejection cycles.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5B the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100mm bore, 5mm stroke model when your mechanism demands high equal force in a very short stroke. If 3524.8N at 0.5MPa is excessive, dropping to an 80mm bore yields 2267.8N; conversely, scaling up to a 125mm bore provides 5733.8N. For applications where push force can exceed pull force and anti-rotation is unnecessary, a single-rod ACQ cylinder offers a more compact footprint. If your load requires precise non-rotating guidance over a longer span, a guided TACQ module might fit better. Confirm your ordering essentials: this ACQD100X5B includes the male B-thread option (M26x1.5) and PT3/8 ports, with a maximum standard stroke capacity of 100mm for this bore size.
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 ACQD100X5B FAQ
The ACQD100X5B provides equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both directions. The maximum standard stroke available for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, not adjustable air cushions; for high kinetic energy, add an external shock absorber. A plain ACQD does not hold its load if air pressure is lost, so for fail-safe positioning, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
