Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60SB 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 ACQD50X60SB
The AirTAC ACQD50X60SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, generating an equal push and pull force of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced actuation cycles.
The dual 20mm rods resist torsion and extend the guide length, supporting a tool platform without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The -S magnet enables tracking with reed or solid-state switches, while the -B male M18x1.5 thread couples directly to your payload. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed inside the body absorb end-of-stroke impacts.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60SB Technical Specifications

| 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 ACQD50X60SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Moves parts horizontally between two stations with equal push and pull thrust, preventing uneven wear on the conveyor guiding mechanism.
Dual-Station Actuation
Drives two separate tooling operations simultaneously using both protruding rod ends on a semiconductor handling fixture.
Twin-Guided Stacker
Lifts and lowers a light packaging platform without twisting, relying on the extended guide length of the dual rods.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X60SB the Right Cylinder?
Flanking this 50mm bore are the 40mm (527.8N) and 63mm (1401.5N) variants at 0.5MPa; step up if your payload exceeds 824.6N. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you only need basic unidirectional thrust, or a TACQ slide when external guide rails are mandatory. Confirm the 60mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the male M18x1.5 rod-end thread 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 ACQD50X60SB FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull due to the identical annular area on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
The -B option provides a male M18x1.5 thread on the rod end for direct load mounting. At both stroke ends, fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the piston; they are not adjustable, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy cycles.
