Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50SB 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 ACQD32X50SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating an equal push and pull force of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced transfer cycles, while the dual 16mm rods resist rotation and provide extended guiding length without needing an external non-rotating guide.
This 32mm bore, 50mm stroke variant includes the -S magnet for reed or solid-state electronic switches, fitting directly into the body's magnetic grooves. The -B option provides male M14x1.5 rod-end threads for direct load coupling. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that a standard pneumatic cylinder does not hold position upon air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if fail-safe holding is required.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X50SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a packaging line shuttle back and forth with matching 301.6N thrust in both directions, ensuring consistent cycle times without drift.
Twin-Guided Pusher Station
Pushes parts on an assembly conveyor using the dual rods to prevent platform rotation, eliminating the need for a separate guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to trigger a solid-state sensor flag on a semiconductor handling fixture while the primary end moves the load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X50SB the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32mm bore model when an application demands 301.6N of force equally in both directions within a compact footprint. If your push/pull requirement is lower, the 25mm bore provides 188.9N; if higher, the 40mm bore yields 527.8N. The 50mm stroke sits well within the 100mm maximum standard stroke limit. If your mechanism already features an external linear guide and only needs unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ cylinder may suffice. Conversely, if side loads exceed the twin rods' capacity, a guided TACQ module offers enhanced bearing support. Confirm the PT1/8 port, M14x1.5 male rod threads, and magnet requirement 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 ACQD32X50SB FAQ
The double-rod design yields equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum load capacity of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. The maximum standard stroke for a 32mm bore is 100mm. It features a PT1/8 port and male M14x1.5 rod-end threads.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact; it does not have adjustable air cushions. Because it is a standard double-acting cylinder, it will not hold its load if air pressure is lost. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve must be installed.
