Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 ACQD32X150
The AirTAC ACQD32X150 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of its riveted C-clip body. Because a rod occupies each internal chamber, the annular piston area is identical in both directions. This means push and pull forces are perfectly equal at 301.6N (0.5MPa) and 422.2N (0.7MPa), enabling symmetric cycles without force mismatch.
This 150mm unit is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, extending past the 100mm standard maximum for the Ø32 bore. The Ø16 rods provide extended guide length and resist torsion, allowing a tool platform to be carried without an external anti-rotation guide. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions, and the second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 ACQD32X150 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Arms
Drives long-reach pick-and-place arms on electronics assembly lines where matching push and pull thrust prevents gripper yaw during transit.
Dual-Station Actuation
Simultaneously indexes two separate testing jigs using both rod ends, ensuring perfectly synchronized movement across a 150mm span.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes heavy pallets along a packaging conveyor without twisting, relying on the dual Ø16 rods to absorb lateral torque over the extended stroke.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore over the adjacent 40mm (527.8N @0.5MPa) or 25mm (188.9N @0.5MPa) depends on needing exactly 301.6N of equal bidirectional thrust. If your layout only requires force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ is more space-efficient. For applications needing extreme lateral load support beyond the twin rods, a guided TACQ cylinder is recommended. When ordering this 150mm long-stroke configuration, confirm your port size (PT1/8) and female M8x1.25 rod-end threads.
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 ACQD32X150 FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. The 150mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 32mm bore.
The twin rods exiting both ends resist torsion and provide a longer guide length, though a plain ACQD does not hold position if air is lost and an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe holding. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy approaches.
