Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø25mm bore and 5mm 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 ACQD25X5
The AirTAC ACQD25X5 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø12mm rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on extension and retraction, yielding an equal 188.9N force at 0.5MPa in both directions. This symmetry is ideal for balanced push and pull cycles without force drop-off.
Twin rods provide extended guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external guide rail. The body uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. It features M5x0.8 ports and a female M6x1.0 rod-end thread.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X5 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X5 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ACQD25X5 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place arm in electronics assembly, utilizing the matching push and pull forces for stable part handoff.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes flat cartons on a packaging line where the dual rods prevent yawing without adding a separate guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Moves a small machining fixture between two stations simultaneously, using the second rod end to trip a limit flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X5 the Right Cylinder?
Providing 188.9N at 0.5MPa, this 25mm bore sits between the 20mm (117.8N) and 32mm (301.6N) variants. Choose the 32mm if your load exceeds 164.9N at 0.7MPa, or drop to the 20mm for lighter duties. If you only need unidirectional thrust and want higher forward force, a single-rod ACQ fits better. For heavy lateral loads requiring external shaft support, a guided TACQ is preferable. Ensure you specify the 5mm stroke, female M6x1.0 rod thread, and PT porting 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 ACQD25X5 FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 188.9N at 0.5MPa and 264.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 39kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces match because the twin rods create equal annular areas. 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. It uses fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at stroke ends for deceleration, not an adjustable cushion or brake.
