The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150SB 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.
The ACQD32X150SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø16mm rods extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal thrust of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa for symmetric push and pull cycles. This 150mm stroke variant is a made-to-order long-stroke unit, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this bore.
Twin rods provide extended guiding length and inherent anti-rotation properties without needing an external guide rail. The -S option includes a piston magnet for position sensing via reed or solid-state switches, while the -B option specifies male M14x1.5 rod-end threads for direct load coupling. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact energy at stroke ends, and the PT1/8 port manages pneumatic flow.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 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.

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 packaging line shuttle where equal push and pull thrust ensures consistent acceleration of product loads in both directions without twisting.
Pushes electronic components onto a testing fixture; the dual rods prevent rotation during the extend stroke, maintaining precise alignment over the 150mm travel.
Uses the second protruding rod end to trigger a mechanical flag on an assembly machine, sequencing a secondary operation while the primary face performs work.
Selecting this 32mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options: the 25mm bore yields 188.9N at 0.5MPa, and the 40mm bore yields 527.8N at 0.5MPa. This model fits applications needing roughly 300N of bidirectional force over an extended 150mm travel. If your mechanism already employs an external linear guide and only requires unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ cylinder may suffice. For heavier lateral loads requiring integrated precision guidance, consider a guided TACQ series. Confirm ordering essentials: the -S magnet, -B male M14x1.5 thread, and PT1/8 porting are specified here.
Quick checklist
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. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The 150mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for a 32mm bore.
The dual-rod design inherently resists rotation and extends the guide length. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, but for high speeds, an external shock absorber is recommended. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; if fail-safe load holding is required, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
