Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X90S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X90S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø100mm bore and 90mm 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 ACQD100X90S
The AirTAC ACQD100X90S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a 32mm piston rod exits 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 requiring identical bi-directional thrust. The twin rods also provide a longer guide length and resist rotation without needing an external non-rotating guide.
This 100mm bore unit features a 90mm stroke and a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. The magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches fitted into the body grooves. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact. The female M20x2.5 rod-end threads and PT3/8 ports handle substantial pneumatic flow, operating between 0.15-1.0MPa.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X90S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X90S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Stroke | 90 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 ACQD100X90S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a large packaging platform back and forth with identical 4934.8N force in both directions, ensuring consistent cycle times on a corrugator line.
Twin-Guided Lifting Arm
Lifts and lowers a heavy machining fixture using the dual rods to prevent torsional deflection without installing a separate external linear guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to trigger a mechanical flag on an automotive assembly press while the primary end moves the main workpiece.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD100X90S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore provides 3524.8N of thrust both ways at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to an 80mm bore drops the force to 2267.8N, while moving up to a 125mm bore increases it to 5733.8N. If your mechanism only requires high force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ cylinder offers a more compact footprint. For loads needing heavy lateral support beyond the twin rods, a guided TACQ series might be a better fit. To order, confirm the 90mm stroke, the -S magnet, and the default female M20x2.5 rod 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 ACQD100X90S 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 double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for a 100mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods exiting both ends resist rotation and provide a longer guide length, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. The built-in magnet (-S) allows you to use reed or electronic solid-state switches for positioning.
