Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90S 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 ACQD32X90S
The AirTAC ACQD32X90S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a 16mm piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular areas match, yielding equal push and pull forces of 301.6N at 0.5MPa and 422.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for cycles requiring identical force in both directions.
Twin rods provide a longer guide length and inherent anti-rotation, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without adding a separate external guide rail. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. This unit includes the -S magnet for track mounting reed or solid-state switches, and uses fixed NBR bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD32X90S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a pick-and-place shuttle in packaging lines, utilizing the equal bidirectional 301.6N force to smoothly accelerate and decelerate product loads without drift.
Twin-Guided Tool Platform
Carries a small machining head on a CNC fixture, relying on the dual 16mm rods to resist torsion and prevent platform rotation during clamping.
Dual-Station Actuation
Indexes a testing fixture between two stations in electronics manufacturing, using the second rod end to trigger a solid-state sensor flag upon arrival.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD32X90S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa this 32mm bore generates 301.6N both ways; dropping to a 25mm bore yields 188.9N, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 527.8N. If your payload only needs unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ32 saves space. For heavy lateral loads, a guided TACQ cylinder is superior. This 90mm stroke is within the 100mm standard limit, and ordering requires confirming the PT1/8 port and default female M8x1.25 rod end.
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 ACQD32X90S FAQ
Push and pull forces are equal at 301.6N @0.5MPa and 422.2N @0.7MPa, with a maximum of 61kgf at 1.0MPa. The equal force occurs because the double-rod design creates identical annular areas on both sides. The standard stroke limit for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD will drift and drop the load if air is lost; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. End impacts are managed by fixed NBR bumpers, not adjustable cushions, so add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads.
