Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 ACQD32X25S
The AirTAC ACQD32X25S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on extension and retraction, yielding exactly 301.6 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa in both directions. This symmetric thrust is ideal for precision cycles requiring identical push and pull dynamics.
The dual 16 mm rods resist torsion and extend the bearing length, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the -S magnet enables position detection via reed or solid-state switches in the integrated grooves.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25S Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 25 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 ACQD32X25S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a packaging line shuttle where identical push and pull forces ensure perfectly balanced acceleration and deceleration of product carriers across the stroke.
Twin-Guided Pick-and-Place
Mounts a small gripper directly to the dual rods on an assembly machine, utilizing the extended guide length to prevent torsion without adding an external linear guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a testing fixture where one rod end moves the primary test contact and the opposite end triggers a solid-state magnetic sensor flag for synchronous timing.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25S the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the 25 mm bore provides 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa, while the 40 mm bore offers 527.8 N if your application requires more thrust. If you only need unidirectional thrust or have space constraints, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might suffice, but the ACQD is required for equal push/pull cycles. When ordering this 32 mm bore with a 25 mm stroke, confirm the PT1/8 port, the M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and the built-in magnet for your sensors.
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 ACQD32X25S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum load capacity of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa. 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 this 32 mm bore is 100 mm.
No, a plain ACQD cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered. The fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external pilot-operated check valve or a separate rod lock mechanism.
