Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X40SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X40SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 40mm 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 ACQD32X40SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X40SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of its riveted C-clip body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective 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 symmetry is ideal for applications requiring balanced bidirectional cycles without force mismatch.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends guiding length, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. This specific configuration includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state switches, and male M14x1.5 rod-end threads (-B) for direct load coupling. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, and the PT1/8 port provides reliable pneumatic supply.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X40SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X40SB |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 40 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 ACQD32X40SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head in packaging machinery where matching push and pull forces prevent tool deflection during rapid direction changes.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Indexes heavy paper or foil rolls on a converting line; the two rods absorb lateral torque without twisting, eliminating the need for a separate guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a compact testing fixture where one rod end drives the primary clamp and the opposite end mounts a sensor flag for position verification.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X40SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, consider the adjacent options: the 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while the 40mm bore provides 527.8N, both at 0.5MPa. Choose the ACQD32X40SB when your application strictly requires equal push/pull dynamics and inherent anti-rotation. If your mechanism already has an external guide and only needs unidirectional force, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might be a simpler alternative. Confirm your ordering essentials: this unit specifies a 40mm stroke, an -S magnet for sensor tracking, and a -B male M14x1.5 thread for straightforward 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 ACQD32X40SB FAQ
The 32mm bore generates 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. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, meaning it does not have adjustable air cushions. A standard ACQD does not hold position if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe load holding, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The -S magnet allows tracking via reed or electronic switches.
