Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 5mm 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 ACQD32X5B
The AirTAC ACQD32X5B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 5mm stroke, engineered with twin rods extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull thrust of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric force output is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional cycling.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing you to carry a small tool platform without needing an external anti-rotation guide. This specific unit includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and a PT1/8 port. It relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions, and while the body retains sensor grooves, this configuration ships without a magnet.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5B Technical Specifications

|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ACQD32X5B Is Used
Twin-Guided Parts Ejector
Utilizes the dual rods to push finished components out of a CNC machining center with high lateral stability, preventing jaw binding without an external guide.
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a packaging transfer arm back and forth across a conveyor, leveraging the identical 301.6N push and pull forces for consistent cycle timing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Mounts a workpiece fixture on one rod end and a sensor flag on the opposite end of an assembly machine, synchronizing movement and detection.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore provides a maximum thrust of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N at 0.5MPa, whereas moving up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8N at 0.5MPa. This 5mm short-stroke variant is optimal for tight clamping or ejection tasks. If your mechanism needs true fail-safe load holding upon air loss, a standard ACQD will drift, so you must integrate an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For heavier lateral loads, consider a guided TACQ cylinder. Confirm your ordering essentials: the B suffix dictates the male M14x1.5 thread, and no magnet is installed.
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 ACQD32X5B FAQ
The ACQD32X5B provides equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum thrust 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 a 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to decelerate the piston, meaning there are no adjustable air cushions. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should add an external shock absorber. Additionally, a plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
