The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X75B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 75mm 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.
The AirTAC ACQD100X75B is a 100mm bore, double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective 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 model includes a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and uses PT3/8 ports.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing it to carry heavy tool platforms without needing an external anti-rotation guide. It features fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific unit ships without a magnet; while the body retains switch grooves, it will not trigger reed or solid-state sensors. For fail-safe load holding during air loss, an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required, as the bumper only dampens near stroke end.

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.
| 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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). The twin rods resist rotation and add guiding length. Related: ACQ (single rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke), TACQ (guided).
Drives a heavy stamping or pressing head in a precision manufacturing line, using the dual rods to maintain strict parallelism and prevent tool rotation under high 4934.8N loads.
Actuates a dual-sided clamping and transfer mechanism in automated assembly machinery, leveraging equal push and pull forces to maintain balanced actuation across the stroke.
Powers a secondary mechanism via the second rod end on a packaging machine, driving a sensor flag or auxiliary load while the primary side executes the main work cycle.
Selecting this 100mm bore with a 75mm stroke provides 3524.8N of force both ways at 0.5MPa. If your application requires slightly less thrust, the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N, whereas stepping up to the 125mm bore provides 5733.8N. Choose this ACQD configuration when symmetric push/pull cycles and resistance to torsion are critical; a single-rod ACQ is better for unidirectional pushing, and a guided TACQ fits if external lateral load capacity is needed beyond the twin rods. Ensure you specify the male M26x1.5 thread and PT3/8 ports when ordering.
Quick checklist
This 100mm bore cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 3524.8N at 0.5MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum thrust of 719kgf at 1.0MPa. Forces are identical both ways because the twin rods create equal annular areas. The stroke is 75mm (max standard stroke is 100mm), the port is PT3/8, and it features a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, not adjustable air cushions; for high kinetic energy, add an external shock absorber. Also, a plain ACQD does not hold its load if air is lost or a valve is centered—the rod drifts. For fail-safe holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
