Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X35S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X35S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 35mm 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 ACQD50X35S
The AirTAC ACQD50X35S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and a 35mm stroke, with twin Ø20mm rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced bi-directional cycling without force drop.
The dual-rod geometry inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing you to carry a tooling platform directly without adding an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. It includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing with reed or solid-state switches, fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, and a PT1/4 port.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X35S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X35S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 35 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 ACQD50X35S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Conveyor
Drives a dual-sided parts pusher on a packaging line, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to maintain consistent indexing speeds in both directions.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Mounts directly to a small tooling platform on an electronics assembly machine, using the extended guide length of the two rods to prevent rotational deflection.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a clamping mechanism in an automotive component fixture, using the second protruding rod end to mechanically trigger a physical sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X35S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50mm bore if your application requires 824.6N of thrust both ways within a 35mm stroke. Stepping down to a 40mm bore drops the force to 527.8N, while moving up to a 63mm bore provides 1401.5N. If your load requires non-symmetric push/pull forces, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is a better fit. For heavy side loads exceeding the twin rods' guide capacity, consider a guided TACQ model. Confirm the 35mm stroke, PT1/4 porting, and the default female M10x1.5 rod-end threads 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 ACQD50X35S 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 and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, meaning the cushioning is not adjustable. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
