Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 60mm 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 ACQD50X60
The AirTAC ACQD50X60 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a Ø20mm piston rod exits both ends, yielding identical annular areas. This geometry means push and pull forces are perfectly equal at 824.6N for 0.5MPa and 1154.5N for 0.7MPa. The twin rods resist rotation and add guide length, letting you mount a tooling platform without needing an external anti-rotation guide.
This 50mm bore unit features a PT1/4 port and a default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. Although the body contains magnetic-switch grooves, this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; utilize an external rod lock or pilot check valve if fail-safe load holding is required.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 ACQD50X60 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a packaging line pusher where matching push and pull forces prevent jamming during bidirectional product routing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to trigger a remote mechanical valve on a textile machine while the primary side lifts a fixture.
Twin-Guided Press Tool
Carries a small stamping head on an electronics assembly line, relying on the dual rods to prevent torsional deflection.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 50mm bore provides 824.6N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less thrust, the adjacent Ø40 bore outputs 527.8N, whereas stepping up to the Ø63 bore yields 1401.5N. This model supports a 60mm stroke, well within the 100mm maximum standard travel for this bore size. If your mechanism only needs unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ cylinder offers a shorter footprint. For heavy lateral loads exceeding the twin rods' guide capacity, a guided TACQ module provides integrated linear bearings. Confirm your ordering essentials: the default PT1/4 port thread, female M10x1.5 rod end, and the absence of a sensor magnet.
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 ACQD50X60 FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal because the rod occupies both chambers, yielding 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. The max standard stroke for a 50mm bore is 100mm. It uses a PT1/4 port and a female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, rather than adjustable air cushions. While the body features grooves for mounting reed or solid-state switches, this specific SKU ships without the internal magnet, so sensing is not possible without modifying the build.
