The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD25X90S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø25mm bore and 90mm 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 ACQD25X90S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø12mm rods that exit both ends of the riveted body. Because a piston rod occupies both internal chambers, the effective annular area remains identical in each direction. This yields perfectly equal push and pull forces of 188.9N at 0.5MPa and 264.5N at 0.7MPa, ensuring symmetric cycle dynamics without the force differential found in single-rod variants.
The dual rods inherently resist rotation and provide 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. Deceleration relies on fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at both ends, while the integrated -S piston magnet interfaces cleanly with reed or solid-state electronic switches via the body grooves.

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 |

| 0.7 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 manipulator in electronics assembly, leveraging equal 264.5N force for perfectly balanced part transfer.
Pushes PCB panels through a fluxing station on a conveyor, using the twin rods to prevent chassis twist without an external guide rail.
Actuates a secondary stamping head via the rear rod end on a packaging line, while the front rod drives a primary sealing jaw.
For sizing context, stepping down to a bore 20 yields 117.8N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a bore 32 provides 301.6N at 0.5MPa. If your application strictly requires unequal push-over-pull mechanics, a single-rod ACQ fits better. For heavier lateral loads requiring a longer bearing, a guided TACQ series is recommended. When ordering, confirm the 90mm stroke (within the 100mm max standard), the M5x0.8 port, and the default female M6x1.0 rod-end thread.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal at 188.9N @0.5MPa and 264.5N @0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 39kgf @1.0MPa. The 90mm stroke is standard for this 25mm bore (max 100mm). Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular piston areas in both directions.
Fixed TPU elastomer bumpers absorb impact at both stroke ends; they are not adjustable air cushions. The dual rods resist rotation and double the guide length, allowing direct tool mounting. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe load holding.
