Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 10mm 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 ACQD50X10S
The AirTAC ACQD50X10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with a 50mm bore and 10mm stroke. A Ø20mm piston rod protrudes from both ends, making the effective annular piston area identical in each direction. This yields perfectly equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, ideal for symmetric cycle applications.
Twin rods inherently resist rotational torque and extend the guide length, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed inside the C-clip body absorb end-of-stroke impacts, while the integrated -S magnet works seamlessly with both reed and solid-state electronic switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 ACQD50X10S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Chuck
Drives an automated lathe chuck clamping mechanism where identical 824.6N extension and retraction forces prevent workpiece distortion during machining.
Twin-Guided Strip Pusher
Advances metal sheet stock in a stamping press line; the dual rods absorb lateral torque without requiring a separate external guide rail.
Dual-Station Divert Gate
Actuates a sorting diverter on a packaging conveyor, using the second rod end to physically trigger a mechanical flag for downstream routing.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10S the Right Cylinder?
Select the ACQD50X10S when your fixture needs high equal force in a very short 10mm travel. Stepping down, the 40mm bore provides 527.8N at 0.5MPa; stepping up, the 63mm bore yields 1401.5N at 0.5MPa. If your payload requires fail-safe holding on air loss, a plain ACQD drifts—add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. For heavier lateral loads needing an external guide, consider a guided TACQ cylinder. Confirm your ordering essentials: standard PT1/4 ports, a Ø20mm rod with female M10x1.5 end threads, and the built-in magnet.
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 ACQD50X10S FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding force of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull match because the rod occupies both chambers, making the annular area identical both ways. The 10mm stroke is well within the 100mm maximum standard stroke for this 50mm bore, operating safely between 0.15-1.0MPa.
The twin rods resist rotational torque and provide extended guide length for direct tool mounting. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact—there is no adjustable air cushion. The included -S piston magnet is compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches mounted directly in the body grooves.
