Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 15mm 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 ACQD32X15
The AirTAC ACQD32X15 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin guide rods that exit both ends of the riveted body. Because a piston rod occupies each internal chamber, the effective annular area is identical in extension and retraction, yielding equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa.
This symmetric thrust enables perfectly balanced cycling without differential pressure shifts. The extended guide length resists lateral torque, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation block. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at each end, and the PT1/8 porting pairs with a 16mm rod diameter for robust performance.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 ACQD32X15 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided material pusher on a packaging line, using its equal push and pull thrust to maintain consistent positioning without momentum shifts.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Actuates a small electronic component handling head where the twin rods prevent rotational drift without needing a separate external linear guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a compact testing fixture on a CNC machine, using the second rod end to drive a sensor flag or secondary mechanism simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32mm bore for 15mm short-stroke transfers requiring 301.6N of symmetric force. If your payload requires less thrust, the 25mm bore provides 188.9N; for heavier payloads, the 40mm bore offers 527.8N. Choose a single-rod ACQ if rotation is handled by external rails or if unequal extension force is acceptable. Confirm the female M8x1.25 rod-end thread and standard 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 ACQD32X15 FAQ
The cylinder delivers equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the rod occupies both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The maximum standard stroke for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding. For motion control, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy impacts.
