The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X45S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø25mm bore and 45mm 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 ACQD25X45S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of its riveted C-clip body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 264.5 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for applications requiring consistent motion in both travel directions.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Equipped with a -S piston magnet, it supports reed or solid-state switches via built-in grooves, and uses fixed TPU bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration.

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 parts pusher in packaging lines where equal 188.9 N force in both directions ensures stable, non-rotating product handoff.
Carries a small end-effector on electronic assembly machinery using the second rod end to mount a sensor flag while maintaining precise guiding.
Powers a dual-station clamping fixture on a machining center where the twin rods prevent platform deflection under 264.5 N of thrust.
Providing 188.9 N of force at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore unit sits between the 20 mm bore (117.8 N) and the 32 mm bore (301.6 N) options. If your application only needs one-sided thrust and asymmetric push/pull is acceptable, the single-rod ACQ series is a simpler choice. For heavier lateral loads requiring extended guide support, a guided TACQ cylinder might fit better. To configure this model, confirm the 45 mm stroke, the M5x0.8 port, the standard female M6x1.0 rod end, and the -S magnet option for sensing.
Quick checklist
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa and 264.5 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 39 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull are equal because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the maximum standard stroke for this 25 mm bore is 100 mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and add guide length, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide. The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches in the body grooves. Fixed TPU bumpers at both ends decelerate the piston near stroke end; they are not adjustable, so use an external shock absorber for high-energy impacts.
