Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30S 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 ACQD32X30S
The AirTAC ACQD32X30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, delivering equal push and pull forces of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring balanced bidirectional cycles.
The dual 16mm rods resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, allowing a tool platform to be carried directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the integrated magnet (-S option) works with reed or solid-state switches in the body grooves.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X30S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Conveyor
Drives a dual-sided pusher plate on a packaging line to transfer cartons smoothly with equal push and pull force, ensuring stable motion during rapid direction changes.
Twin-Guided Stamping Jig
Mounts a small stamping head directly to the cylinder body on an electronics assembly machine, utilizing the twin 16mm rods to prevent torsion without an external guide rail.
Dual-Station Pick & Place
Actuates a secondary sensor flag on the rear rod end to confirm stroke position for a two-station pick-and-place handler, saving space on the main actuation axis.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 32mm bore generates 301.6 N of force both ways; if your application requires less force, the 25mm bore provides 188.9 N, while stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 527.8 N. A single-rod ACQ cylinder is preferable if equal push/pull forces are not required and you need maximum unobstructed extension. Confirm the 30mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and female M8x1.25 rod-end thread when ordering. Note that a standard ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; use an external pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding.
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 ACQD32X30S 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 force of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin-rod design creates the same annular area in both directions. The standard stroke limit for this 32mm bore is 100mm, and operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa.
The two 16mm piston rods prevent rotation and extend the guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The built-in magnet (-S option) is compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves.
