Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 ACQD32X50
The AirTAC ACQD32X50 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 16mm piston rod protruding from both ends. Because the rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, generating equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for applications requiring identical motion resistance in both travel directions.
Twin rods provide a longer guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties, eliminating the need for bulky external linear guides. The riveted body includes sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, ensuring compact dimensions while protecting the end caps.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 ACQD32X50 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pusher arm on packaging equipment, using the equal push and pull forces to move cartons smoothly in both directions without speed variations.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Handles electronic component transfer on an SMT line, relying on the twin rods to prevent jaw rotation without adding a separate external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a small testing fixture where one rod end drives the primary test probe and the opposite end mounts a mechanical flag to trip a limit switch.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore yields 301.6N both ways; sizing down to a 25mm bore drops output to 188.9N, while stepping up to a 40mm bore increases it to 527.8N. If your layout only requires single-direction thrust, the standard single-rod ACQ series offers a smaller footprint. For heavy lateral loads needing precision guidance, a guided TACQ table cylinder provides superior support. When ordering, confirm the 50mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and default female M8x1.25 rod-end threading.
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 ACQD32X50 FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the double-rod design creates identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold its load when air is removed or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. For fail-safe load holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
