Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X35
The AirTAC ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X35 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø20mm bore and 35mm 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 ACQD20X35
The AirTAC ACQD20X35 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø10mm 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 117.8N at 0.5MPa and 164.9N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced transfer cycles.
The dual-rod layout inherently resists rotation and extends guide length, allowing a small tool platform to be carried without a separate external guide. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves for tracking, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Deceleration is handled by fixed TPU bumpers at each end, not adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X35 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X35 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø20 mm |
| Stroke | 35 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 ACQD20X35 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided parts shuttle in electronics assembly, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to maintain perfectly balanced indexing in both directions.
Twin-Guided Pusher Station
Pushes components on a packaging line without twisting, leveraging the extended guide length of the two rods to carry a direct-mounted tool plate.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary mechanism from the rear rod end while the front rod drives the primary load on a semi-automated test fixture.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X35 the Right Cylinder?
For 0.5MPa sizing, this 20mm bore provides 117.8N both ways; stepping down to the 16mm bore yields 75.4N, while moving up to the 25mm bore gives 188.9N. If your application strictly requires unequal push/pull power, a single-rod ACQ is preferable. If heavy lateral loads exceed the twin-rod guide capacity, consider a guided TACQ. Confirm the 35mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, and female M5x0.8 rod-end thread for your mounting setup.
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 ACQD20X35 FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 117.8N at 0.5MPa and 164.9N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 24kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create matching annular areas. The max standard stroke is 100mm, the port is M5x0.8, and the female rod-end thread is M5x0.8.
No, a plain ACQD drifts when air is lost; an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe holding. Additionally, it uses fixed TPU bumpers at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
