Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5SB 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 ACQD100X5SB
The AirTAC ACQD100X5SB is a JIS compact, double-acting cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 5mm stroke. A piston rod protrudes from both ends, creating an identical annular area on each side. This architecture ensures equal force in both directions, generating 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa. The twin rods resist torsion and extend the guide length, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide.
This specific configuration includes a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. It uses a PT3/8 port and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. The compact C-clip riveted body handles operating pressures from 0.15-1.0 MPa within a -20 to +70 C environment.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X5SB Is Used
Twin-Guided Stamping Press
Drives a heavy stamping tool platform where twin rods prevent torsional deflection during high-force metal deformation.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Executes balanced push-pull cycles on a packaging line, leveraging equal annular force to move heavy pallets smoothly.
Dual-Station Actuator
Uses the secondary rod end to trigger a solid-state sensor flag while driving a 100mm clamping mechanism on an automotive fixture.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X5SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore with a 5mm stroke yields massive immediate thrust within a tight 30-500 mm/s speed range. If your application needs less energy, the adjacent 80mm bore provides 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa. For heavier demands, the 125mm option offers 5733.8N. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you only need unidirectional thrust and want to save space. Confirm your order specifies the male M26x1.5 thread and the magnet option for electronic or reed switch compatibility.
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 ACQD100X5SB FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum holding capability of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The forces match because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke limits; it is not an adjustable air cushion. A plain ACQD does not hold its position if air pressure is lost. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
