Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø25mm bore and 60mm 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 ACQD25X60
The AirTAC ACQD25X60 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where a piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies both chambers, the effective annular area is identical in each direction. This means push and pull forces are perfectly equal at 188.9N @0.5MPa and 264.5N @0.7MPa, delivering symmetric thrust for balanced cycles.
The dual Ø12mm rods inherently resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, allowing it to carry a small tool platform without needing a separate external anti-rotation guide. It uses a fixed TPU elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves for adding sensors, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Ports are M5x0.8 and the standard female rod-end thread is M6x1.0.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø25 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 ACQD25X60 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head in electronics assembly, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to maintain balanced cycle times without momentum drift.
Twin-Guided Part Stripper
Strips formed blanks from a small press die, relying on the twin rods to prevent jaw rotation and avoid binding during the 60mm retraction stroke.
Dual-Station Actuation
Simultaneously indexes two separate packaging lanes using both rod ends, saving space on the machine frame by actuating a primary load and a secondary sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X60 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 25mm bore, 60mm stroke unit when your mechanism requires 188.9N of force in both directions within a compact envelope. If your application needs less force, the neighboring 20mm bore provides 117.8N @0.5MPa. For higher thrust, the 32mm bore yields 301.6N @0.5MPa. A single-rod ACQ is preferable if equal bidirectional force is unnecessary, while a guided TACQ fits loads demanding heavy lateral support. Confirm your ordering code specifies the 60mm stroke and female M6x1.0 rod thread.
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 ACQD25X60 FAQ
The ACQD25X60 delivers equal push and pull force of 188.9N at 0.5MPa and 264.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum thrust of 39kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The standard stroke limit for this 25mm bore is 100mm, and operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa.
The dual-rod construction resists rotation and adds guide length without an external guide. It uses fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold its load if air is lost; for fail-safe holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
