The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X25S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø25mm 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.
The AirTAC ACQD25X25S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where a Ø12mm piston rod protrudes from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull thrust of 188.9N at 0.5MPa and 264.5N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring balanced bidirectional force.
The dual rods inherently resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Deceleration is handled by fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at each end, and the integrated magnet (-S) supports reed or solid-state switches via the body grooves. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa with a speed range of 30-500mm/s.

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.
| 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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). The twin rods resist rotation and add guiding length. Related: ACQ (single rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke), TACQ (guided).
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head in electronics assembly, using the equal push and pull thrust to maintain balanced positioning during board transfer.
Elevates a small tooling platform in packaging machinery, relying on the twin rods to prevent rotation without adding an external guide rail.
Powers a two-station clamping fixture on a machining center, using the second protruding rod end to trigger a remote position sensor.
For 0.5MPa operations, this 25mm bore yields 188.9N of thrust both ways; stepping down to a 20mm bore drops the force to 117.8N, while sizing up to a 32mm bore increases it to 301.6N. If your mechanism only needs one-sided actuation, a single-rod ACQ variant saves space, and a guided TACQ fits better for heavy lateral loads. Confirm your porting (M5x0.8) and default female M6x1.0 rod-end threads when ordering.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 188.9N at 0.5MPa and 264.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 39kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 25mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. Impact deceleration is handled by fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
