Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5S 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 ACQD100X5S
The AirTAC ACQD100X5S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 5mm stroke. A Ø32mm piston rod extends from both cylinder ends, creating identical annular areas. This geometry yields perfectly balanced thrust in both directions, delivering 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. The twin rods prevent rotation and extend guiding length, supporting a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide.
The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Equipped with the -S magnet, the integrated switch grooves accept reed or electronic solid-state sensors. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends manage end-of-stroke impact. Standard PT3/8 ports and a female M20x2.5 rod-end thread simplify installation. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, with a maximum capacity of 719kgf.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X5S Is Used
Precision Press Fit
Twin rods maintain strict parallelism for pressing small bearings into automotive housings, resisting side loads without an external guide.
Symmetric Transfer
Equal push and pull forces enable perfectly balanced part transfer between dual stations on a semiconductor wafer handling machine.
Dual-Station Actuation
The second rod end drives a secondary flag for a solid-state sensor on a heavy-duty packaging line, confirming position from the opposite side.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5S the Right Cylinder?
For a 5mm stroke, this 100mm bore yields massive thrust in a compact footprint. If 3524.8N at 0.5MPa is excessive, the ACQD80X5S provides 2267.8N. If your application requires even more power, the ACQD125X5S offers 5733.8N at 0.5MPa. A single-rod ACQ100X5S is preferable if equal push/pull force and anti-twist guidance are unnecessary. Ensure you specify the -S magnet for sensor compatibility and note the fixed NBR bumpers; add an external shock absorber for high-energy impacts.
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 ACQD100X5S FAQ
The ACQD100X5S 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. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide a longer guide length. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact; these are not adjustable air cushions, so add an external shock absorber for high-speed approaches. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
