Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60S 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 ACQD50X60S
The AirTAC ACQD50X60S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods extending from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring perfectly balanced bidirectional thrust.
Twin Ø20mm rods resist torsion and extend guide length, allowing a tool platform to be carried directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed at each end absorb impact, and the integrated -S piston magnet supports reed or solid-state switches in the body grooves.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD50X60S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal bidirectional 824.6N thrust for consistent part transfer.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Indexes components on an electronics assembly conveyor, relying on the twin rods to prevent torsion without adding an external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two synchronized clamps simultaneously from a single body on a machining fixture, using the second rod end to drive a secondary mechanism.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60S the Right Cylinder?
For 50mm bore sizing, this 824.6N unit sits between the 32mm bore (301.6N) and the 63mm bore (1401.5N) variants at 0.5MPa. If asymmetric thrust is acceptable and space is tight, a single-rod ACQ offers a narrower footprint, while a guided TACQ provides extra load support for heavy off-center masses. Specify the 60mm stroke, PT1/4 port, M10x1.5 female rod end, and the -S magnet 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 ACQD50X60S FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
The dual rods prevent rotation and extend guide length. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact rather than adjustable air cushions. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves.
