Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 100mm 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 ACQD50X100
The AirTAC ACQD50X100 is a double-acting, double-rod JIS compact cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 100mm stroke. Because a Ø20mm piston rod protrudes from both ends, the annular areas match, yielding identical push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring balanced bi-directional thrust.
Twin rods resist torsion and extend the guide length, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can simultaneously drive a secondary load or sensor flag. Built with a compact riveted body, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. It features a PT1/4 port and a female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod end thread | M10×1.5 female / M18×1.5 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 (Ø50mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 825 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1155 N | 1155 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 168 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 ACQD50X100 Is Used
Symmetrical Transfer Unit
Drives a packaging line shuttle from both ends to move cartons equally in push and pull directions without stroke imbalance.
Twin-Guided Pick-and-Place
Carries a vertical gripper assembly on a secondary rod end platform, using the extended guide length to prevent jaw deflection.
Dual-Station Forming Press
Actuates two opposing tooling stations simultaneously on an assembly fixture, relying on equal 824.6N thrust for parallel forming.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X100 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50mm bore actuator when your process needs 824.6N of force in both directions across the full 100mm stroke. If your requirement is lower, the 40mm bore provides 527.8N; if higher, the 63mm bore yields 1401.5N. Choose this double-rod architecture over a single-rod ACQ if your mechanism demands rotational stability or symmetric dual-end actuation. Note that this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet; if you require position sensing via reed or solid-state switches, specify the -S option to activate the body's sensor grooves. Confirm your ordering code includes the female M10x1.5 thread and PT1/4 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 ACQD50X100 FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the rod occupies both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa, and the port size is PT1/4.
The dual-rod design inherently resists rotation and provides a longer guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at stroke ends, which are not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe positioning, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
