Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X100S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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 ACQD32X100S
The AirTAC ACQD32X100S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø16mm rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional thrust without force imbalance.
Equipped with a -S piston magnet, the body grooves accept reed or solid-state electronic switches for position sensing. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the extended guide length from the dual rods resists torsional loads. Standard PT1/8 ports and a 100mm stroke provide robust actuation within a compact footprint.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X100S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X100S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod end thread | M8×1.25 female / M14×1.5 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 (Ø32mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 302 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 422 N | 422 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 62 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 ACQD32X100S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a bi-directional parts shuttle on an assembly line where equal push and pull forces ensure consistent transfer speeds in both directions.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses both rod ends to actuate two separate clamping stations simultaneously from a single compact body, saving valuable machine space.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes workpieces on a CNC conveyor without needing an external anti-rotation guide, as the dual rods naturally prevent platform twisting.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X100S the Right Cylinder?
Providing 301.6 N of thrust both ways, this 32mm bore sits comfortably between the 20mm variant (117.8 N) and the 40mm variant (527.8 N) at 0.5 MPa. If your mechanism only requires unidirectional pushing, a single-rod ACQ offers a shorter overall length. For heavy lateral loads exceeding the twin rods' guide capacity, a guided TACQ slide table is recommended. Ensure you specify the -S magnet for sensor tracking, the 100mm stroke, and the default female M8x1.25 rod-end threads 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 ACQD32X100S FAQ
The cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular piston area in both directions. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm, operating between 0.15-1.0 MPa.
No, a plain ACQ-type cylinder drifts when air is lost because the fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate the piston near stroke end, acting neither as a lock nor a brake. To maintain a fail-safe vertical hold, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches for position feedback.
