Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60SB 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 ACQD32X60SB
The AirTAC ACQD32X60SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, delivering equal push and pull forces of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. This eliminates the force differential found in single-rod units, ensuring perfectly symmetric cycle thrusts. The Ø32mm bore operates on PT1/8 ports and yields a maximum thrust of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Dual rods provide extended guiding length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing a tool platform to be carried directly without needing an external torque guide. This SB configuration includes a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet. The magnet is compatible with both reed and solid-state electronic switches mounted in the body grooves. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends, while the second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X60SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Arms
Drives pick-and-place arms in packaging machinery where equal push and pull thrusts prevent jerky movements during component transfers.
Twin-Guided Pushers
Positions product on a conveyor without a separate external guide, using the dual rods to resist torsion and maintain precise alignment.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate mechanisms simultaneously from one cylinder, using the second male-threaded rod end to drive a secondary assembly station.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X60SB the Right Cylinder?
This 32mm bore delivers 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa, sitting between the 20mm bore (117.8 N) and the 40mm bore (527.8 N) for scaling thrust. If your application only requires unidirectional pushing, a single-rod ACQ cylinder offers a more compact footprint. For loads needing high torsional resistance beyond the twin rods, a guided TACQ series is recommended. When ordering the ACQD32X60SB, confirm the 60mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum standard limit, and specify your preferred magnetic switch type for the integrated magnet.
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 ACQD32X60SB FAQ
The cylinder provides an equal push and pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa and 422.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum holding force of 61 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same effective annular area in both chambers. The 60mm stroke is well within the 100mm maximum standard stroke limit for this 32mm bore.
The twin rods resist rotation and extend guide length without external hardware. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at the end of travel, but these are not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold position if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
