Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X15SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 15mm 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 ACQD50X15SB
The AirTAC ACQD50X15SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a rod protrudes from both ends. Because the piston sees annular area in each direction, push and pull outputs are identical at 824.6N (0.5MPa) and 1154.5N (0.7MPa). This symmetry is ideal for cycles needing consistent force both ways.
Twin rods resist torsion and extend the guide length, letting you mount a tool platform without adding an external guide rail. The second end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load. It has a 50mm bore, 20mm rods, PT1/4 ports, a male M18x1.5 rod end (-B), and a piston magnet (-S) for reed or solid-state switches. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X15SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X15SB |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 ACQD50X15SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Moves a packaging flap alternately in two directions with matched 1154.5N force, ensuring even sealing pressure on carton machinery.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Ejects parts on an assembly line using both rods to prevent yaw, maintaining alignment without a separate guide carriage.
Dual-Station Actuation
Drives two opposing clamps simultaneously from one body, ideal for centering workpieces in a CNC fixture.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X15SB the Right Cylinder?
This 50mm bore delivers 824.6N both ways at 0.5MPa; sizing down to a 40mm yields 527.8N, while stepping up to 63mm provides 1401.5N. If your load only needs actuation from one side, a single-rod ACQ fits better, and a TACQ guided unit is preferable for heavy lateral loads. Confirm the 15mm stroke, male M18x1.5 thread, and PT1/4 ports 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 ACQD50X15SB FAQ
It provides equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull due to the annular piston area. The maximum standard stroke for a 50mm bore is 100mm.
The dual rods prevent rotation and extend bearing length. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, though external shock absorbers are needed for high energy. It will not hold a load unpowered; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe positioning.
