Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 30mm 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 ACQD32X30B
The AirTAC ACQD32X30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 16mm piston rod 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. This symmetric thrust is ideal for cycles requiring consistent bi-directional power.
The twin rods provide extended guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external guide rail. This specific variant includes the -B option, meaning the rod ends feature a male M14x1.5 thread for direct load coupling. It uses a PT1/8 port and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to soften end-of-stroke impacts.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 ACQD32X30B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a packaging line shuttle back and forth with equal 301.6N force in both directions, ensuring consistent dwell times regardless of travel direction.
Twin-Guided Parts Pusher
Pushes machined components out of a CNC zone using both rod ends to carry a wide tooling plate, relying on the rods' anti-rotation resistance to prevent binding.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate clamps on an assembly jig simultaneously by using the second protruding rod end to drive a secondary mechanism across the machine.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30B the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa this 32mm bore generates 301.6N of force in both directions. If your application requires less thrust, stepping down to a 25mm bore provides 188.9N, while moving up to a 40mm bore yields 527.8N for heavier demands. If your load inherently resists rotation and you only need thrust from one side, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is a simpler choice, whereas a guided TACQ fits if you need heavy lateral load support beyond what the twin rods provide. When ordering, confirm the 30mm stroke, PT1/8 porting, and the male M14x1.5 rod thread to ensure proper mounting.
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 ACQD32X30B FAQ
This double-acting 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. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. It has a 30mm stroke (max standard stroke for this bore is 100mm), a PT1/8 port, and features a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact rather than adjustable air cushions. Additionally, while the body retains sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, this specific model ships without the -S magnet, so it cannot trigger sensors out of the box. Note that a plain cylinder will not hold its load if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
