The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X70SB 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 ACQD32X70SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø16mm rods exiting both ends. This symmetric annular design yields identical push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, ensuring balanced cycling. The extended guide length resists torsional deflection without needing external guide rails.
Equipped with a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) and a piston magnet (-S), it drives loads directly and supports both reed and solid-state sensors via its integrated grooves. NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, while PT1/8 ports supply air. The 70mm stroke operates efficiently within the 100mm standard limit for this bore.

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 dual-sided parts shuttle in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull force to maintain consistent cycle timing in both directions.
Positions a machining fixture on a CNC lathe, leveraging the dual rods to prevent platform rotation and maintain high positioning accuracy.
Actuates a secondary ejector pin on an injection molding line, using the second protruding rod end to operate a separate mechanism simultaneously.
Providing 301.6N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5MPa, this 32mm bore bridges the gap between the 20mm (117.8N) and 40mm (527.8N) models. If your application only requires one-sided actuation, the single-rod ACQ series offers a more compact footprint. For operations demanding heavy lateral load bearing, a guided TACQ cylinder provides superior structural support. When ordering, confirm the 70mm stroke, M14x1.5 male rod thread, and PT1/8 port size.
Quick checklist
The push and pull forces are equal at 301.6N @0.5MPa and 422.2N @0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 61kgf @1.0MPa. The equal force is due to the double-rod design occupying both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The maximum standard stroke available for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end to absorb impact, which are not adjustable. For high-speed applications, an external shock absorber is recommended. Additionally, a plain ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; for fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
