Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300S 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 ACQD32X300S
The AirTAC ACQD32X300S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and an extended 300mm stroke. Because twin piston rods exit both ends, the annular area remains identical in each direction. This yields perfectly equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2N at 0.7 MPa, enabling symmetrically balanced cycles without differential thrust.
This long-stroke variant is built to order, exceeding the standard 100mm maximum for this bore size. The dual 16mm rods provide a long guide length to resist torsion without needing an external guide rail. A fixed NBR elastomer bumper decelerates the load at each end, and the included -S piston magnet works seamlessly with reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X300S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided parts shuttle on an electronics assembly line, using the equal push and pull thrust to maintain perfectly balanced indexing across the 300mm travel.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes cardboard cartons on a packaging conveyor where the extended guide length of the two rods prevents the tooling from twisting under offset loads.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary sensor flag or clamp from the rear rod end simultaneously on a textile machine, driving two separate stations from one compact body.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X300S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32mm bore provides 301.6N of thrust at 0.5 MPa on both extension and retraction. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while moving up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8N. At 300mm, this model is a made-to-order long-stroke unit; if your stroke is under 100mm, the standard ACQD32 is more readily available. For loads needing true fail-safe holding upon air loss, pair this cylinder with an external rod lock or pilot check valve, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke ends. Confirm the PT1/8 port and female M8x1.25 rod-end thread 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 ACQD32X300S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 301.6N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 61kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The 300mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for a 32mm bore.
The dual 16mm rods resist torsion and provide a longer guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions; for high-energy impacts at high speeds, an external shock absorber should be added.
