The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X200 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 200mm 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 ACQD32X200 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where a Ø16mm piston extends from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the 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. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring balanced bi-directional cycling.
With a 200mm stroke, this unit is a made-to-order long-stroke variant exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for the Ø32 bore. The riveted C-clip body includes fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. While it lacks a magnet, the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for external sensor mounting. Note that a plain cylinder drifts on air loss; an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe holding.

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 pick-and-place arm in electronics assembly, using the equal push and pull forces to maintain balanced cycle times without momentum drift.
Positions parts on a packaging conveyor where the dual rods prevent platform rotation over the 200mm travel without needing an external guide rail.
Simultaneously triggers two separate clamps on a machining fixture using both protruding rod ends, saving space by combining motions in one body.
Selecting this 32mm bore model provides 301.6N of force at 0.5MPa. If less force is acceptable, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while a 40mm bore increases output to 527.8N. The 200mm stroke is a non-standard long-stroke configuration. If your mechanism only needs single-direction actuation, a single-rod ACQ series is more compact. For applications needing precise anti-rotation guidance over longer spans, a guided TACQ cylinder might offer better lateral stability. Confirm the PT1/8 port and female M8x1.25 rod-end thread when ordering.
Quick checklist
It delivers an equal push and pull force 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 equal because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The 200mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeding the 100mm standard max. It uses a PT1/8 port and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
The twin rods exiting both ends resist rotation and provide a longer guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions; for high energy loads, add an external shock absorber. It does not hold position on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is needed for fail-safe holding. This specific model ships without a sensor magnet.
