Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X25
The AirTAC ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X25 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø20mm bore and 25mm 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 ACQD20X25
The AirTAC ACQD20X25 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 10mm piston rod protruding from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, generating an equal push and pull force of 117.8N at 0.5MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional thrust.
The twin-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and extends the guide length, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. This 25mm stroke unit includes fixed TPU bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration and features a standard M5x0.8 female rod thread. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X25 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X25 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø20 mm |
| Stroke | 25 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Rod end thread | M5×0.8 female / M8×1.25 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 (Ø20mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 118 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 165 N | 165 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 24 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 ACQD20X25 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place shuttle in electronics assembly, using the equal push and pull forces to maintain stable part transfer without rotational drift.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a small machining fixture on a CNC loader, leveraging the extended guide length of the dual rods to prevent deflection during clamping.
Dual-Station Diverting Gate
Actuates a routing flap on a packaging conveyor, where the second rod end simultaneously drives a mechanical flag to confirm gate position.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X25 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 20mm bore provides 117.8N of thrust both ways at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 16mm bore yields 75.4N, while moving up to a 25mm bore provides 188.9N. Choose the ACQD20X25 when symmetric push/pull cycles and anti-rotation guiding are critical. If you only need unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ cylinder offers a more compact footprint. For higher kinetic energy at stroke ends, supplement the fixed elastomer bumper with an external shock absorber. Confirm your ordering essentials: this model uses an M5x0.8 port, an M5x0.8 female rod end, and a 25mm stroke.
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 ACQD20X25 FAQ
The ACQD20X25 provides an equal push and pull force of 117.8N at 0.5MPa and 164.9N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 24kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 20mm bore is 100mm.
No, it uses fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Additionally, while the body contains grooves for mounting reed or solid-state switches, this specific model ships without the internal magnet. You would need an external rod lock or pilot check valve to hold the load safely upon air loss.
