Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45S 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 ACQD32X45S
The AirTAC ACQD32X45S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin piston rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, providing an equal push and pull force of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional cycling.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and extends the guiding length, allowing you to carry a small tool platform directly without adding a separate external guide. The 32mm bore uses a PT1/8 port and a 16mm rod with an M8x1.25 female end. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact energy at stroke ends, and the included -S magnet activates reed or solid-state switches housed in the body grooves.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X45S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage on a packaging line, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to maintain consistent clamping pressure in both travel directions.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Lifts and positions electronic components using a tooling plate mounted across both rods, leveraging the extended guide length to prevent deflection without external rails.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary sensor flag or cam on the opposite rod end to trigger a machine sequence on a CNC loading station while the primary end drives the main load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X45S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, stepping down to a 25mm unit drops the equal thrust to 188.9N at 0.5MPa, while moving up to a 40mm bore increases it to 527.8N. This 45mm stroke sits well within the 100mm maximum standard limit for this bore. Choose the ACQD configuration when your mechanism requires anti-rotation support or a secondary attachment point; a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is sufficient if you only need basic linear motion and have external guiding. Confirm the -S magnet option, PT1/8 port, and M8x1.25 female rod thread when ordering.
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 ACQD32X45S FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because a piston rod occupies both internal chambers, creating identical annular areas in each direction. It generates 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa both ways, with a maximum capacity of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. The maximum standard stroke available for a 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact energy; it does not feature adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type cylinder will not hold its load if air pressure is lost, as the bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
