Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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 ACQD32X90
The AirTAC ACQD32X90 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and twin 16mm rods that exit from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull thrust of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric force output is ideal for balanced cycling tasks.
The dual rods provide a longer guide length and high torsional resistance, allowing you to carry a tooling platform without adding a separate external guide. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves for position sensing, though this specific unit ships without the internal magnet. It uses a PT1/8 port and a female M8x1.25 rod-end thread.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 90 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 ACQD32X90 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place shuttle in packaging lines where identical push and pull thrust keeps product indexing perfectly balanced.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Mounts a small machining or stamping head directly to the twin rods on an assembly machine, utilizing the built-in anti-rotation support.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to trigger a mechanical flag or drive a secondary mechanism simultaneously in a textile loom.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32mm bore provides 301.6N of thrust at 0.5MPa. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 25mm bore yields 188.9N, whereas the larger 40mm bore provides 527.8N for heavier demands. This 90mm stroke sits well within the 100mm maximum standard travel for this size. If your mechanism only needs force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ cylinder saves space. For applications needing extreme lateral load support, consider a guided TACQ series. Confirm you need the default female M8x1.25 rod thread and PT1/8 port when ordering.
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 ACQD32X90 FAQ
The push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular piston area in both chambers. It outputs 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. The maximum standard stroke available for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb shock, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion. While the body features grooves for mounting reed or solid-state electronic switches, this specific model ships without the internal magnet, so sensing requires adding an -S option or external flags.
