Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X70S
The AirTAC ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X70S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø20mm bore and 70mm 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 ACQD20X70S
The AirTAC ACQD20X70S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø10mm rods exiting 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. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches.
Its dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends guide length, allowing a small tool platform to be carried without needing a separate external anti-rotation guide. Deceleration is handled by fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, and the second protruding rod end can conveniently drive a sensor flag or secondary load.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X70S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X70S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø20 mm |
| Stroke | 70 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 ACQD20X70S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pusher plate in electronics assembly, using the equal bidirectional 117.8N force to push and retract parts with identical cycle timing.
Twin-Guided Stamping Head
Operates a small stamping head in packaging machinery where the twin rods prevent torsion and eliminate the need for a separate external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary sensor flag or second load on a textile loom using the second rod end, while the primary rod performs the main work cycle.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD20X70S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20mm bore, stepping down to a 12mm bore yields 42.4N, while stepping up to a 25mm bore provides 188.9N at 0.5MPa. If your application tolerates unequal push and pull forces, the single-rod ACQ series offers a more compact footprint. For tasks demanding extreme lateral load capacity, a guided TACQ cylinder might be a better fit. To order, confirm the 70mm stroke, M5x0.8 port, female M5x0.8 rod-end thread, and the -S magnet option.
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 ACQD20X70S 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 identical annular areas in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for a 20mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe positioning, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
