Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X20
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X20 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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 ACQD25X20
The AirTAC ACQD25X20 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 20mm stroke. Because twin rods exit both ends, the effective annular area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull forces of 188.9N at 0.5MPa and 264.5N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced actuation cycles.
A rod diameter of 12mm and fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at each end manage end-of-travel energy without requiring adjustable cushions. The extra guide length prevents platform rotation without needing an external guide, while the M5x0.8 ports and female M6x1.0 rod-end threads simplify integration.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X20 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X20 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 20 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| Rod end thread | M6×1.0 female / M10×1.25 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 (Ø25mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 189 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 264 N | 264 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 39 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 ACQD25X20 Is Used
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Drives a machining or inspection head on a CNC lathe loader, using the dual rods to resist torsional deflection without a separate external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Executes balanced push and pull cycles on an automated packaging line, leveraging the equal 188.9N annular force for consistent bi-directional product indexing.
Dual-Station Lift Actuator
Raises and lowers a small parts elevator in electronics assembly, using the second protruding rod end to mount a counterweight or secondary carriage.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X20 the Right Cylinder?
For 0.5MPa thrust, this 25mm bore provides 188.9N both ways; stepping down to the 20mm bore yields 117.8N, while moving up to the 32mm bore gives 301.6N. If your payload requires non-rotating guidance, this double-rod design eliminates the need for a separate rail. If you only need unidirectional force, a single-rod ACQ might be a lighter alternative. Confirm your required 20mm stroke and the female M6x1.0 rod-end 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 ACQD25X20 FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 188.9N at 0.5MPa and 264.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 39kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods occupy both chambers, creating the same annular area in each direction. The standard stroke maximum for this 25mm bore is 100mm.
No, it uses fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at both ends to decelerate the load, not adjustable air cushions. Additionally, this specific model ships without a sensor magnet. While the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state sensors, you must select an ACQD25X20S variant to get the internal magnet for switch activation.
