Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 30mm 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 ACQD50X30
The AirTAC ACQD50X30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a Ø20mm piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area stays identical in both directions, yielding exactly 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa of force whether pushing or pulling. This symmetry is ideal for cycles requiring matched bi-directional power.
Twin rods grant a longer guide length to resist rotation without needing an external guide rail. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, PT1/4 ports, and a standard female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X30 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X30 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 ACQD50X30 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place shuttle in packaging lines where identical push and pull thrust keeps acceleration balanced during product transfer.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes heavy cartons on a conveyor using the anti-rotation properties of the dual rods to prevent the tooling from twisting under offset loads.
Dual-Station Actuator
Actuates two separate clamps on an automated assembly machine simultaneously by mounting a second tool directly to the opposing rod end.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X30 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 50mm bore provides 824.6N of equal thrust both ways. If your application requires less force, the 40mm bore offers 527.8N; stepping up to the 63mm bore provides 1401.5N. Note this specific model ships without a magnet, so while the body retains sensor grooves, position detection requires adding a magnet or external flags. For applications needing true fail-safe load holding on air loss, pair this cylinder with an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke 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 ACQD50X30 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder provides 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 matching annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at both ends to absorb impact, which is not adjustable like an air cushion; for high kinetic energy, use an external shock absorber. This specific configuration omits the internal magnet, but the body still features grooves ready for reed or solid-state switches if you add external sensing flags.
