Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10SB 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 ACQD50X10SB
The AirTAC ACQD50X10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with twin rods extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly balanced thrust. You get 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa on both the extend and retract strokes.
This 50mm bore unit uses a PT1/4 port and a Ø20mm piston rod with an M18x1.5 male thread (-B) for direct load coupling. The dual-rod architecture resists torsion and lengthens guide support, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide. It includes a -S magnet for electronic or reed switches, plus fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD50X10SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a packaging pusher that moves cartons between lanes with identical extend and retract speeds, ensuring timed cadence without asymmetric drift.
Twin-Guided Stamping Platform
Carries a small marking head on a CNC pick-and-place machine, using the two rods to prevent torsion and maintain tool perpendicularity.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a multi-position assembly fixture where the secondary rod end mounts a sensor flag to trigger a downstream clamping operation.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X10SB the Right Cylinder?
For a 10mm stroke, this 50mm bore provides 824.6N of bidirectional force at 0.5MPa. If your mechanism requires less thrust, the 40mm bore yields 527.8N; if you need more power, stepping up to the 63mm bore provides 1401.5N. Consider a single-rod ACQ if symmetric push/pull cycles are unnecessary, or a guided TACQ for heavy off-axis loads. Confirm the PT1/4 port, M18x1.5 male rod thread, and the 100mm maximum standard stroke limit 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 ACQD50X10SB FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create the same annular piston area in both chambers. The standard stroke limit for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
The dual rods prevent rotation and extend guide length without external guides. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. It does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe load holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
