Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 80mm 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 ACQD100X80
The AirTAC ACQD100X80 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø32mm rods exiting 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 symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced cycling, and the dual rods resist rotation while extending guide length without needing an external guide.
Built with a riveted body and PT3/8 ports, this 100mm bore unit handles up to 719kgf at 1.0MPa. It relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Note that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for fail-safe load holding.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 ACQD100X80 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a packaging platform back and forth with identical 4934.8N force in both directions, ensuring consistent cycle times without thrust imbalance.
Twin-Guided Stacking Arm
Lifts and lowers a palletizing fixture where the second rod end prevents torsional sag, eliminating the need for a separate external linear guide.
Dual-Station Forming Die
Actuates a press die from both sides simultaneously on an automotive line, using the extra rod end to mount a mechanical flag for a remote sensor.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore model provides 3524.8N of thrust both ways at 0.5MPa. Dropping to an 80mm bore reduces the force to 2267.8N, while stepping up to a 125mm bore yields 5733.8N. With an 80mm stroke, it sits comfortably below the 100mm maximum standard stroke limit. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you only need standard extension and want higher forward thrust. For heavy lateral loads requiring independent guidance, a TACQ slide unit might be preferable. Confirm the default female M20x2.5 rod-end thread and PT3/8 port size 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 ACQD100X80 FAQ
It generates 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 and pull are equal because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 100mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption, not adjustable air cushions. For high kinetic energy, add an external shock absorber. It does not hold position on air loss; if fail-safe load holding is required, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
