Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15S 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 ACQD32X15S
The AirTAC ACQD32X15S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø16mm rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. The extended guide length resists torsional deflection without needing an external guide rail.
This 32mm bore unit integrates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to soften end-of-stroke impacts, rather than adjustable air cushions. Equipped with the -S magnet option, its built-in piston magnet interfaces seamlessly with reed or solid-state electronic switches via the body grooves. The standard PT1/8 port and 15mm stroke make it highly suited for tight transfer assemblies where space is restricted but symmetric force is required.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X15S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided packaging pusher where equal 301.6N push and pull forces prevent stalling during product diversion on a conveyor line.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Handles electronic component placement using the second rod end to mount a sensor flag, ensuring precise 15mm travel without rotational drift.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a compact stamping fixture in automated assembly machinery, utilizing the twin rods to carry a small tool platform across both work stations.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore provides 301.6N of symmetric force at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less force, the 25mm bore yields 188.9N; for heavier payloads, the 40mm bore offers 527.8N. Choose this double-rod configuration over a single-rod ACQ when your mechanism demands rotational stability or a secondary attachment point. Remember that a standard cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if fail-safe load holding is mandatory. Confirm you need the female M8x1.25 rod end thread and the -S magnet for sensor tracking before 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 ACQD32X15S 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 and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates equal annular areas on both sides of the piston. The standard stroke limit for this 32mm bore is 100mm, and this specific model has a 15mm stroke.
The twin rods exiting both ends prevent rotation and extend the guide length for tool platforms. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at the ends for impact absorption, not adjustable air cushions. The -S option includes a piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves.
