Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80B 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 ACQD100X80B
The AirTAC ACQD100X80B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that protrude from both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for applications requiring identical advance and retract cycle dynamics.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing a tool platform to mount directly without a separate external anti-rotation guide. This specific variant includes a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, fixed NBR bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, and PT3/8 ports. It ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for external switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD100X80B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage on a packaging conveyor where equal push and pull thrust ensures balanced acceleration of heavy product loads.
Twin-Guided Stamping Platform
Mounts a small stamping head directly to the twin rods on an automotive parts line, utilizing the extended guide length to resist deflection without an external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station clamping fixture on a CNC machining center, using the second rod end to drive a mechanical flag or secondary mechanism simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X80B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore unit means sizing against its 3524.8N thrust at 0.5 MPa. For lighter duties at half-pressure, the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N, while stepping up to the 125mm bore yields 5733.8N for heavier loads. If your layout only needs a single rod and asymmetric push-pull is acceptable, the standard ACQ series fits similarly. If your mechanism demands fail-safe load holding on air loss, note that this cylinder relies on fixed bumpers and will drift; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Confirm the 80mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, and the male M26x1.5 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 ACQD100X80B FAQ
The ACQD100X80B generates an equal push and pull force of 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa and 4934.8N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 719 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull are equal because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The stroke is 80mm (max standard stroke is 100mm), it uses PT3/8 ports, and features a male M26x1.5 rod-end thread.
The twin rods exiting both ends inherently resist rotation and add guide length. It uses fixed NBR bumpers at each end for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions; for high-energy impacts, slow the approach or add an external shock absorber. This specific model ships without a magnet, but the body retains grooves for mounting external reed or solid-state switches.
