Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X20SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X20SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 20mm 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 ACQD32X20SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X20SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 20mm stroke. A 16mm piston rod protrudes from both ends, creating an identical annular area on each side. This geometry yields perfectly balanced thrust, generating 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa in both directions. The male M14x1.5 rod ends couple directly to your tooling.
Twin rods provide extended guiding length and inherent anti-rotation properties without needing external guides. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed inside the body absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the integrated magnet (-S) tracks position using reed or solid-state switches. Standard strokes up to 100mm are available for this bore.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X20SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X20SB |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 20 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 ACQD32X20SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage on packaging lines where identical push and pull thrust prevents load drift during rapid direction changes.
Twin-Guided Gripper Actuator
Operates a small parts gripper on an electronics assembly tester, using the two rods to resist torsional loads without a separate external guide.
Dual-Station Diverter
Powers a diverter flap on a conveyor sorting station, using the second protruding rod end to mechanically trigger a positional flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X20SB the Right Cylinder?
This 32mm bore yields 301.6N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to a 25mm bore drops the output to 188.9N, whereas a 40mm bore raises it to 527.8N. Select the ACQD32X20SB when symmetric push/pull cycles and resistance to torsion are required within a tight footprint. If your mechanism only needs a single extending rod, the standard ACQ series is more appropriate. Confirm the PT1/8 porting and male M14x1.5 thread compatibility 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 ACQD32X20SB FAQ
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 identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular piston area in both directions. The maximum standard stroke available for a 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb shock, which are not adjustable. The -S option includes a piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves. Note that a plain cylinder does not hold position on air loss; an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
