Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60SB 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 ACQD100X60SB
The AirTAC ACQD100X60SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin piston rods extending from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. This 100mm bore design yields a maximum holding capacity of 719kgf at 1.0MPa, erasing the force differential found in single-rod units.
Twin rods supply extended guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing a tool platform to mount directly without separate guide rails. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load. Equipped with an -S magnet for reed or solid-state switches, an -B male M26x1.5 rod end for direct coupling, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, it handles 30-500mm/s speeds. The PT3/8 port manages airflow for this 60mm stroke configuration.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X60SB Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Tooling
Drives a heavy stamping platform in an automotive parts plant. The dual rods prevent torsional deflection during high-force metal forming, ensuring the die aligns perfectly across the 60mm travel.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Positions large fabric panels on a textile conveyor. Equal push and pull dynamics allow the mechanism to advance and retract with identical kinetic profiles, stabilizing the delicate material handling.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a clamping fixture on a heavy machinery assembly line. The exposed second rod end triggers a solid-state proximity switch to confirm stroke completion, synchronizing the secondary workstation.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X60SB the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 100mm bore provides 3524.8N both ways. If less force is acceptable, the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N; for heavier demands, the 125mm bore offers 5733.8N. Choose this specific model when symmetric push/pull cycles and resistance to torsion are mandatory. If your application only needs unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ might suffice. If extreme lateral loads exceed the twin rods' capacity, a guided TACQ cylinder is recommended. Confirm the 60mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and M26x1.5 male thread when 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 ACQD100X60SB FAQ
It delivers 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 equals pull because the double-rod layout creates matching annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods inherently resist rotation and extend guide length. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends decelerate the motion near stroke limits, though for high energy impacts an external shock absorber is advised. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
