Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 ACQD100X60B
The AirTAC ACQD100X60B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and a 60mm stroke. Because twin Ø32mm rods protrude from both ends, the effective annular piston area remains identical in each direction. This geometry yields perfectly equal push and pull forces, generating 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa without any directional imbalance.
The dual-rod layout inherently resists rotation and extends the guide length, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. This specific variant includes a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread for direct coupling and uses PT3/8 ports. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves, but this unit ships without a magnet.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 ACQD100X60B Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide conveyor pusher bar in packaging logistics, using the dual rods to prevent yaw and maintain parallel contact across the belt width.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers a pick-and-place transfer bridge where the second protruding rod end mounts a sensor flag to confirm stroke completion at both extremes.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate clamping stations simultaneously from a central body on an automotive assembly jig, exploiting the equal force on both ends.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore unit, the adjacent smaller 80mm bore provides 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 125mm option yields 5733.8N. Choose the ACQD100X60B when your application strictly demands 3524.8N of bidirectional thrust. If your mechanism only needs unidirectional push force, a single-rod ACQ100X60B offers a smaller footprint. For heavy lateral loads exceeding the twin rods' guide capacity, a TACQ linear-guide cylinder provides enhanced load bearing. Confirm the -B male thread and PT3/8 porting during ordering.
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 ACQD100X60B FAQ
Push and pull forces are equal at 3524.8N (0.5 MPa) and 4934.8N (0.7 MPa), with a maximum of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa. This 60mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum standard stroke limit for this 100mm bore.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, which are not adjustable, so add an external shock absorber for high-speed approaches.
