Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 ACQD32X60S
The AirTAC ACQD32X60S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø16mm rods that exit from both ends of its riveted C-clip body. Because a piston rod occupies each internal chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions. This yields an equal push and pull force of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, enabling perfectly symmetric cycle movements without the force differential found in single-rod units.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends the guiding length, allowing you to mount a small tooling platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can simultaneously drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. It includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches, and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 ACQD32X60S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a packaging line transfer carriage where equal push and pull thrust ensures smooth, balanced product shifting without momentum spikes in either direction.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses both rod ends on an electronics assembly tester to trigger a primary clamp on one side while driving a pneumatic sequencing valve on the opposite end.
Twin-Guided Stripper
Ejects stamped parts from a press die using a mounting plate fixed across both rods, relying on the anti-rotation properties to prevent tool binding.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60S the Right Cylinder?
This 32mm bore generates 301.6N of force both ways at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less thrust, the 25mm bore provides 188.9N; for heavier loads, stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 527.8N. The 60mm stroke fits well within the 100mm maximum standard travel for this bore size. If your mechanism only needs force in one direction, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is more space-efficient, while a guided TACQ unit is preferable for absorbing heavy lateral loads. When ordering, confirm the PT1/8 port, the default female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and that the -S magnet option is included for position sensing.
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 ACQD32X60S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same annular piston area in both chambers. The standard stroke limit for a 32mm bore is 100mm, and operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0MPa.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
