Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X80B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X80B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 ACQD32X80B
The AirTAC ACQD32X80B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and an 80mm stroke. Because twin rods exit both ends, the annular piston area remains identical in each direction, generating perfectly equal thrust and retraction forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric power profile prevents directional force mismatches during push-pull cycling.
A male M14x1.5 rod-end thread couples directly to your tooling, while the opposing shaft end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact without requiring adjustment, and the integrated C-clip body maintains a short mounting depth. Note that this specific configuration omits the internal magnet, though the body retains standard switch grooves for future sensing upgrades.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X80B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X80B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 ACQD32X80B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place shuttle in packaging lines where matching advance and retract speeds are critical for timing.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a machining fixture on a CNC loader, using the extended guide length to resist torsional deflection during clamping.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a stamping press feed where the rear rod simultaneously triggers a mechanical flag to sequence the next material index.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X80B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore provides a substantial step up from the 20mm version (117.8N) without the bulk of a 40mm unit (527.8N). The 80mm stroke sits comfortably within the 100mm maximum standard travel for this bore size. If your mechanism only requires force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ offers a lighter footprint, while applications demanding heavy off-center load bearing might require a fully guided TACQ series. Confirm your ordering essentials: this variant includes the -B male rod thread and standard PT1/8 port.
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 ACQD32X80B FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. The push and pull values are identical because the twin rods occupy both chambers, creating equal annular areas. The stroke is 80mm, and the maximum standard stroke available for a 32mm bore is 100mm.
No, a standard ACQ-type cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air is lost or the valve is centered; a fail-safe setup requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. For deceleration, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed or high-energy loads.
