Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X250B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X250B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 250mm 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 ACQD32X250B
The AirTAC ACQD32X250B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 250mm stroke. Because twin piston rods exit the body at both ends, the effective annular area remains identical in either direction. This architecture yields perfectly balanced thrust, generating 301.6N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2N at 0.7 MPa for both extension and retraction.
Designed as a long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeding the standard 100mm maximum, it incorporates a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling. The dual rods inherently resist torsion and extend guiding length without needing an external guide. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the integrated sensor grooves await user-installed reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X250B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X250B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 250 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 ACQD32X250B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided conveyor diverter in packaging lines where equal push and pull thrust prevents skewing during component transfer.
PCB Dual-Station Actuator
Powers a testing fixture on electronics manufacturing equipment, utilizing the second rod end to trigger a physical sensor flag.
Twin-Guided Reject Arm
Ejects misaligned parts on a textile loom, relying on the torsional resistance of the dual rods to maintain precise alignment over the 250mm span.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X250B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore involves sizing against neighboring options. Stepping down to a 25mm bore drops the bidirectional force to 188.9N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 40mm bore raises it to 527.8N. This model provides a balanced 301.6N at 0.5 MPa. If your mechanism only requires unidirectional thrust and minimal guiding, a single-rod ACQ might suffice. For multi-axis stability without external guide rails, the twin-rod layout here is optimal. Confirm your ordering essentials: this unit includes the male M14x1.5 thread (-B) and lacks a magnet, operating via PT1/8 ports.
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 ACQD32X250B FAQ
This cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The 250mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this bore.
The dual-rod design inherently resists rotation and provides extended guiding length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe positioning, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
