Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 45mm 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 ACQD32X45B
The AirTAC ACQD32X45B is a JIS compact double-acting cylinder featuring twin Ø16mm rods extending from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. The male M14x1.5 rod-end threads couple directly to your load, while the PT1/8 port manages air supply.
This symmetric force profile enables perfectly balanced push/pull cycles. The dual rods inherently resist rotation and extend the guide length, carrying small tool platforms without needing a separate anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact energy at stroke extremes, and the body retains switch grooves for future sensor integration.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 ACQD32X45B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Mechanism
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head on electronics assembly lines, utilizing equal push and pull force to maintain balanced positioning during component transfer.
Twin-Guided Pusher Station
Indexes cartons on packaging machinery using the inherent anti-rotation properties of the double rod to push loads accurately without adding an external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates two separate clamp stations on a machining center simultaneously, using the second protruding rod end to drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45B the Right Cylinder?
For 45mm travel at 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore yields 301.6N both ways. Stepping down to a 25mm bore provides 188.9N, while moving up to a 40mm bore offers 527.8N. Choose this model when symmetric actuation and male-thread rod coupling are required. If your application only needs standard single-direction pushing, a single-rod ACQ might fit better. For higher lateral loads requiring external guidance, a TACQ cylinder is recommended. Confirm the 45mm stroke and PT1/8 porting for your manifold setup.
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 ACQD32X45B FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum 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 32mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers only decelerate the piston near stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
