Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150S 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 ACQD32X150S
The AirTAC ACQD32X150S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area remains identical in both directions. This geometry yields perfectly equal push and pull forces, delivering 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa without any directional bias.
With a 32mm bore and 150mm stroke, this made-to-order long-stroke variant exceeds the 100mm standard maximum, providing extended travel for automated machinery. The dual shafts resist torsion and increase guiding depth, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the integrated magnet (-S) tracks position via reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X150S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Arms
Drives dual-sided pick-and-place arms in electronics assembly, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust for balanced bi-directional load handling.
Twin-Guided Pusher Stations
Pushes workpieces on a conveyor without an external guide rail, as the dual shafts prevent torsion and maintain platform alignment.
Dual-Station Actuation
Simultaneously drives a secondary mechanism or sensor flag from the opposite rod end on a packaging line, saving space and simplifying control.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighboring bores: the 25mm version yields 264.5N at 0.7MPa, while the larger 40mm bore provides 738.9N at 0.7MPa. This 32mm model generates a balanced 422.2N both ways, making it ideal for medium-duty symmetric cycles. If your application only requires unidirectional thrust or has strict space limits, a single-rod ACQ might fit better. For applications needing extreme lateral load support beyond what the twin rods offer, a guided TACQ cylinder is recommended. To order, confirm the 150mm extended travel, PT1/8 port, and the M8x1.25 female rod-end 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 ACQD32X150S FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The 150mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 32mm bore.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss, and the fixed NBR elastomer bumpers only decelerate the piston near stroke ends. For fail-safe vertical load holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The second rod end can also be used to mount a sensor flag.
