Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SB 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 ACQD32X15SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X15SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions. This means push and pull forces are perfectly equal at 301.6 N (0.5 MPa) and 422.2 N (0.7 MPa), with a maximum capacity of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
This 32mm bore design eliminates the need for a separate external guide, as the dual 16mm rods inherently resist rotation and provide extended bearing support. Equipped with an S magnet for electronic or reed switches and a B male M14x1.5 rod-end thread, it couples directly to your tooling. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, making it highly suitable for short 15mm stroke applications.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X15SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided tooling plate in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent clamping pressure in both travel directions.
Short-Stroke Part Ejector
Ejects machined components from a CNC fixture using the 15mm stroke, relying on the fixed NBR bumpers to absorb impact energy without requiring external shock absorbers.
Dual-Station Actuation
Simultaneously triggers two micro-switches on an assembly line using the second protruding rod end, while the primary side executes the main work operation.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore model provides 301.6 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires slightly less force, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 188.9 N, whereas moving up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8 N. This specific configuration includes the S magnet and B male M14x1.5 thread, operating via PT1/8 ports. If your mechanism only needs force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is a simpler alternative, but for symmetric cycles requiring anti-rotation support, this twin-rod unit is ideal. Note that a plain cylinder drifts when air is lost; utilize an external pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding.
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 ACQD32X15SB FAQ
The ACQD32X15SB provides equal push and pull forces of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The standard stroke is 15mm, with a maximum standard stroke of 100mm available for this 32mm bore.
Deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. For position sensing, the built-in S magnet works with both reed and solid-state electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. The male M14x1.5 rod-end thread allows direct load coupling on the twin 16mm rods.
