Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25SB 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 ACQD32X25SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X25SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with twin Ø16mm rods extending from both 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. The dual rods inherently resist rotation and extend guiding length, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide.
This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing via reed or solid-state switches, and a male M14x1.5 thread (-B) on the rod ends for direct load coupling. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and PT1/8 ports. Note that a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; a fail-safe setup requires an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X25SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Arms
Drives a pick-and-place arm where identical push and pull forces ensure stable part transfer without drift.
Twin-Guided Tool Platform
Carries a small machining fixture on a CNC loader, using the dual rods to prevent rotation without an external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a diverter on a packaging conveyor, using the second rod end to mount a sensor flag for timing.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X25SB the Right Cylinder?
For 32mm bore actuation, this double-rod model delivers 301.6N of force both ways at 0.5MPa. If your application only needs one-way pushing, the smaller 25mm bore provides 188.9N, while the larger 40mm bore offers 527.8N. Choose this ACQD variant when symmetric cycles or twin-guided platforms are required. If your load needs to resist heavy torque without a separate guide, a guided TACQ cylinder might be a better fit. When ordering, confirm the 25mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the male M14x1.5 rod thread.
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 ACQD32X25SB FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke for a 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration, not an adjustable air cushion. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches. A plain ACQD does not hold its load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot check valve.
