Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SG
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SG 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 ACQD32X15SG
The AirTAC ACQD32X15SG is a JIS compact double-acting cylinder where a Ø16mm piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. The twin-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide.
This 32mm bore model features a 15mm stroke and a PT1/8 port. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The -SG variant includes a built-in piston magnet for position sensing alongside a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread, while the opposite rod end can drive a secondary load or sensor flag.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SG Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SG |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X15SG Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a precision machining fixture pusher where the dual rods prevent platform twisting during the 15mm clamping cycle.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers a packaging line transfer gate with equal force both ways, ensuring consistent timing regardless of travel direction.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a dual-station electronics testing jig, using the second rod end to trigger a solid-state sensor flag simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X15SG the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore provides 301.6N of force at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while moving up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8N. A single-rod ACQ cylinder is preferable if you only need standard unidirectional pushing and want maximum forward thrust, whereas a guided TACQ linear slide is ideal for heavy off-axis loads. Remember that a plain ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding. Confirm the 15mm stroke, magnet, and male thread options when 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 ACQD32X15SG FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal at 301.6N @0.5MPa and 422.2N @0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 61kgf @1.0MPa. Force is identical both ways because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in each chamber. The maximum standard stroke available for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and extend guide length so no external guide is needed. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. The built-in magnet (-S) works with reed or electronic solid-state switches, and the second rod end can drive a secondary load.
