Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 5mm 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 ACQD50X5
The AirTAC ACQD50X5 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods extending from both ends. Because a shaft occupies each pressure chamber, the annular areas match, yielding identical push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional power. The Ø50mm bore uses PT1/4 ports and an M10x1.5 female rod end.
Dual shafts provide a longer guide length and inherent torsional resistance, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide while supporting a small tool platform. Travel is fixed at 5mm, decelerated by NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Though this specific unit ships without a magnet, the body retains sensor grooves for solid-state or reed switches when needed.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X5 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X5 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ACQD50X5 Is Used
Twin-Guided Part Pusher
Executes short 5mm ejection strokes on a CNC lathe, using the dual rods to prevent chuck deflection under asymmetric loads.
Symmetric Transfer Clamp
Provides identical 824.6N clamping and release forces on an automated assembly line, ensuring components do not shift during processing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Drives a secondary sealing head from the opposite rod end on a packaging machine, synchronizing two operations without external linkage.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X5 the Right Cylinder?
For a 50mm bore, the ACQD50X5 provides 824.6N of equal force both ways at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less push, the ACQD40X5 offers 527.8N, while stepping up to the ACQD63X5 yields 1401.5N. Consider a single-rod ACQ if torsional resistance is unnecessary, or a guided TACQ cylinder if carrying extreme lateral loads. This 5mm stroke variant is configured with a female M10x1.5 rod thread, PT1/4 port, and no internal magnet. Remember that a standard double-rod cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost; integrate an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
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 ACQD50X5 FAQ
The ACQD50X5 generates 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 equal because the twin rods create matching annular areas. The maximum standard stroke available for this 50mm bore is 100mm, and this specific model has a 5mm stroke.
Twin rods exiting both ends resist torsion and extend the guide length, stabilizing attached loads without an external guide rail. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy impacts. The body includes sensor grooves, but this non-S variant ships without a magnet.
