Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70S 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 ACQD100X70S
The AirTAC ACQD100X70S is a JIS compact, double-acting cylinder engineered with twin piston rods extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications needing perfectly balanced bidirectional cycles.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends the guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without adding an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Fitted with a 32mm rod, PT3/8 ports, and fixed NBR bumpers at both ends, it handles heavy duties up to 719kgf while the integrated -S magnet supports reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X70S Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Tool
Drives a heavy stamping platform in a press line, using both rods to maintain parallelism and absorb torsional stress during metal forming.
Symmetric Transfer Station
Shifts large machined castings between machining centers, exploiting the equal push and pull force to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Dual-Station Actuator
Powers a loading head on an automated assembly machine where the second rod end simultaneously triggers a solid-state limit switch to confirm position.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X70S the Right Cylinder?
Delivering 3524.8N at 0.5MPa, this 100mm bore unit sits between the 80mm (2267.8N) and 125mm (5733.8N) bores. Choose the ACQD100X70S when your mechanism requires substantial equal-force thrust and inherent rotational stability within a 70mm stroke. If your layout only needs force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ might suffice. For extreme lateral moments, a guided TACQ profile could be better. Confirm your porting (PT3/8), the female M20x2.5 rod-end thread, and the magnet option 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 ACQD100X70S FAQ
It provides equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum load 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 standard stroke limit for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide extended guiding without external guides. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. It does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
