The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X175 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 175mm 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 AirTAC ACQD32X175 is a double-acting, double-rod JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 175mm extended stroke. Because a piston rod protrudes from both ends, the effective annular area is identical in each direction, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced, two-way actuation cycles.
Twin Ø16mm rods provide inherent anti-rotation support and extended guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external guide in many setups. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Built with a compact C-clip riveted body, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The body features integrated switch grooves, though this specific SKU ships without a magnet. Note that the 175mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant exceeding the standard 100mm maximum for this bore.

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 dual-sided pusher on a packaging line, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to move cartons smoothly in both directions without force imbalance.
Ejects machined parts from a CNC lathe; the twin Ø16mm rods resist rotational torque during the extended 175mm ejection cycle, maintaining precise alignment.
Powers a two-station clamping fixture on an assembly machine, using the second rod end to trip a mechanical valve or carry a position flag.
For sizing context, the adjacent Ø25 bore yields 188.9N and the larger Ø40 bore yields 527.8N at 0.5MPa. This 175mm extended stroke is a non-standard configuration requiring a long-stroke made-to-order build. Select a single-rod ACQ if equal bidirectional force is unnecessary, or a guided TACQ cylinder if the application demands even higher lateral load resistance. Confirm your porting (PT1/8) and female M8x1.25 rod-end thread when ordering.
Quick checklist
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. The 175mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the standard 100mm maximum for a Ø32 bore.
No. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. Additionally, while the body has sensor grooves, this specific model ships without a magnet. For load holding during air loss, an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required.
