Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150SB
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.

About the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150SB
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.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150SB Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X150SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a packaging line shuttle where equal push and pull thrust ensures consistent acceleration of product loads in both directions without twisting.
Twin-Guided Pusher Array
Pushes electronic components onto a testing fixture; the dual rods prevent rotation during the extend stroke, maintaining precise alignment over the 150mm travel.
Dual-Station Actuation
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.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X150SB the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ 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 ACQD32X150SB 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. 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.
