Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30SB 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 ACQD32X30SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where twin Ø16mm rods protrude from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on both sides, yielding exactly 301.6N of force at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa in either direction. This symmetric thrust is ideal for precise push-pull cycles. The unit includes a built-in magnet for position sensing and a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling.
Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke extremes without requiring adjustable air cushioning. The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends guide length, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can simultaneously drive a sensor flag or secondary load. PT1/8 ports supply air, operating reliably across a 0.15-1.0MPa pressure range.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X30SB Is Used
Twin-Guided Tool Platform
Drives a machining fixture on a CNC lathe, using the dual rods to maintain strict parallelism and prevent torsional deflection during metal clamping.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Powers a packaging line transfer arm that pushes and retracts with identical 422.2N force, ensuring stable product handoff without momentum shifts.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate test probes on an electronics PCB tester simultaneously, using both rod ends to carry independent loads in a confined assembly cell.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X30SB the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32mm bore if you need 301.6N (0.5MPa) or 422.2N (0.7MPa) of balanced thrust over a 30mm stroke. Stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while a 40mm bore provides 527.8N, so verify your load margin. If your mechanism only requires single-direction actuation, a standard single-rod ACQ32 is more compact. For multi-axis precision without torsional deflection, this ACQD32X30SB is optimal. Confirm your order specifies the S magnet and B male M14x1.5 thread options. Note that maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
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 ACQD32X30SB FAQ
Because the double-rod design creates equal annular areas, push and pull forces are identical: 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. The maximum holding force is 61kgf at 1.0MPa. This specific model has a 30mm stroke, and the maximum standard stroke available for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods provide built-in anti-rotation support and extended guiding without external guides. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption, not adjustable air cushions. The S magnet works with reed or solid-state electronic switches. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
