Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 70mm 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 ACQD100X70
The AirTAC ACQD100X70 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each internal chamber, the effective annular area remains identical in either direction. This geometry yields equal push and pull forces, delivering 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa for symmetrically balanced actuation.
Dual rods inherently resist rotation and extend the guiding length, allowing this unit to carry a tool platform without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. It features a Ø32mm piston rod, PT3/8 ports, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end to decelerate motion near stroke limits.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 70 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 ACQD100X70 Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide machining fixture platform where the dual rods prevent yawing without needing an external linear guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers a packaging line transfer arm that requires identical force extending and retracting to maintain smooth product indexing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two linked assembly stations simultaneously by mounting separate tooling on each protruding rod end.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore generates 3524.8N of thrust both ways. Stepping down to an 80mm bore provides 2267.8N, while moving up to a 125mm bore yields 5733.8N. If your payload only needs one-sided pushing, a single-rod ACQ series saves depth. For heavy radial loads requiring extra support, a guided TACQ cylinder fits better. To order, confirm the 70mm stroke, the default female M20x2.5 rod end, and PT3/8 port threads.
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 ACQD100X70 FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal at 3524.8N @0.5 MPa and 4934.8N @0.7 MPa, with a maximum thrust of 719 kgf @1.0 MPa. The max standard stroke for this 100mm bore is 100mm. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa. Forces match because the twin rods create equal annular areas on both sides of the piston.
The dual rods resist rotation and add guide length. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the piston at both ends, but these are not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
