Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X50SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X50SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 50mm 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 ACQD50X50SB
The AirTAC ACQD50X50SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. 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 cycles requiring consistent bi-directional power.
The dual rods provide extended guiding length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing a separate external guide. The second rod end can simultaneously drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. This 50mm bore unit includes a male M18x1.5 rod thread for direct coupling, fixed NBR bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, and a PT1/4 port.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X50SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X50SB |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 ACQD50X50SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided packaging shuttle where matching push and pull thrust prevents part drift during high-speed horizontal transfers.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a CNC loading head directly on the extended rods, utilizing the inherent anti-rotation resistance to maintain tight machining tolerances.
Dual-Station Actuator
Powers a secondary assembly station from the rear rod end while the front rod drives the primary workpiece, maximizing floor space efficiency.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X50SB the Right Cylinder?
Providing 824.6N of force both ways at 0.5MPa, this 50mm bore fits neatly between the 63mm bore (1401.5N) and the 40mm bore (527.8N) for sizing symmetric loads. If your application only requires forward thrust and standard guiding, a single-rod ACQ cylinder may suffice. However, if you need strict non-rotation and equal bi-directional thrust without external guide rails, this ACQD configuration is the correct choice. Confirm your ordering essentials: 50mm bore, 50mm stroke, with magnet (-S) and male rod threads (-B).
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 ACQD50X50SB 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 identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
The double-rod design resists rotation and extends guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. The included -S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves for position detection.
