Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5SB 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 ACQD32X5SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X5SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and a 5mm stroke, where twin Ø16mm piston rods protrude from both ends. Because a rod occupies each working chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions. This means push and pull forces are perfectly equal, delivering 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. The symmetrical thrust is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional cycling.
This configuration includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling and an integrated piston magnet (-S) for position sensing. The -S magnet functions seamlessly with either reed or solid-state electronic switches housed in the body grooves. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the extended guide length provided by the dual rods inherently resists torsion without needing an external guide.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5SB Technical Specifications

| 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 ACQD32X5SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head in packaging lines, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to maintain balanced actuation during product transfer.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Acts as a compact part ejector on an assembly machine, where the dual rods prevent chassis rotation and eliminate the need for a separate external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a small clamping fixture on a semiconductor tester, using one rod end to drive the clamp and the opposite end to mount a sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X5SB the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32mm bore if your mechanism requires 301.6N of symmetrical thrust at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N, whereas stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8N. If your payload demands even greater lateral stability or higher torsional resistance than the twin rods offer, a guided TACQ cylinder might be a better fit. Conversely, if asymmetric thrust is acceptable and space is extremely tight, a single-rod ACQ works. To order, confirm the 5mm stroke, PT1/8 port, and the M14x1.5 male rod threads.
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 ACQD32X5SB FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The stroke is 5mm, the port is PT1/8, and it features M14x1.5 male rod-end threads. The maximum standard stroke available for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
The -S option provides a piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends, but for high-speed approaches, an external shock absorber is recommended. It does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
