Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 300mm 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 ACQD32X300B
The AirTAC ACQD32X300B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 300mm stroke. Because twin rods exit both ends, the annular piston area is identical on each side. This yields perfectly balanced thrust, giving you 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa in both directions. The extended 300mm travel makes this a long-stroke, made-to-order variant exceeding the standard 100mm maximum.
Equipped with a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread, it couples directly to your tooling. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke extremes without needing adjustment. While this specific unit omits the internal magnet, the body retains sensor grooves for mounting external reed or solid-state switches. The dual shafts provide extended guide length and high torsional resistance, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 300 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 ACQD32X300B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pusher on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to shuttle products smoothly without directional force bias.
Twin-Guided Straightener
Aligns metal stock in a stamping facility where the twin rods prevent torsional deflection across the long 300mm extension, bypassing external guide rails.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate clamps simultaneously in an assembly machine, using both protruding rod ends to synchronize movements across separate work zones.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300B the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the 301.6N force at 0.5MPa: dropping to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8N. If your application only requires single-direction actuation and you can tolerate unequal push/pull forces, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder may suffice. However, if your mechanism demands zero rotational drift over long travels, this twin-rod configuration is the correct choice. Ensure you specify the PT1/8 port thread and the M14x1.5 male rod connection when ordering. Note that this 300mm variant is nonstandard and requires extended delivery times.
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 ACQD32X300B FAQ
This cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. The push and pull values are identical because the dual rods occupy both chambers, making the effective annular area the same on each side. The 300mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, as the standard maximum for a 32mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position when air is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. 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 rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
