The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X70 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 70mm 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.
The AirTAC ACQD32X70 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of its riveted C-clip body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular piston area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for precision cycles requiring consistent force both ways.
With a 16mm rod diameter and PT1/8 porting, this 32mm bore unit resists mechanical rotation without needing an external guide. The non-adjustable NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the second rod end can drive a secondary load or sensor flag. Note this specific configuration ships without a magnet, though switch grooves remain available.

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.
| 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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). The twin rods resist rotation and add guiding length. Related: ACQ (single rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke), TACQ (guided).
Drives a packaging shuttle where identical 301.6N push and pull forces prevent skewed movement during product handoff.
Mounts a secondary pick-and-place tool on the second rod end to operate two assembly stations in opposite phase.
Pushes heavy electronic components on a conveyor without twisting, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide.
When sizing this 32mm bore model, consider the adjacent options: the 25mm bore provides 188.9N at 0.5MPa, while the 40mm bore offers 527.8N. If your application only requires unidirectional thrust and standard guiding, a single-rod ACQ series may suffice. For applications demanding higher lateral load capacity and precise anti-rotation over a longer stroke, a guided TACQ cylinder is recommended. Confirm your ordering code specifies the 70mm stroke, female M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and PT porting.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder provides 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. The push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create equal annular piston areas in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
The twin-rod design inherently resists rotation and extends the guide length, allowing it to carry small platforms without external guides. Impact at stroke ends is absorbed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, which are non-adjustable; for high energy loads, slow the approach or add external shock absorbers. Note this model lacks a sensor magnet.
