Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X80 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø50mm bore and 80mm 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 ACQD50X80
The AirTAC ACQD50X80 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and an 80mm stroke. A Ø20mm piston rod extends from both ends, creating identical annular areas on each side. This mechanical symmetry yields equal force in both directions, generating 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa for push and pull alike.
Because the twin rods share the load, rotational torque is resisted internally and guiding length increases without needing a separate external guide. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed at each end absorb end-of-stroke impact, while the PT1/4 porting handles standard pneumatic supply. Note this specific configuration ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding external switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X80 Technical Specifications

| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 ACQD50X80 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place shuttle in packaging lines where matching push and pull thrust prevents part skewing during reversal.
Twin-Guided Pusher Array
Advances product rows on a conveyor using the extended guide length to resist torsional loads without bolting on an external linear guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses both protruding rod ends on an assembly machine to trigger a secondary mechanism or sensor flag while driving the primary workpiece.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD50X80 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 50mm bore provides 824.6N of symmetric thrust at 0.5MPa; stepping down to a 40mm bore drops the output to 527.8N, whereas moving up to a 63mm bore raises it to 1401.5N. If your application requires unilateral extension with higher forward force, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is a better fit. For multi-axis loads demanding extreme lateral stability, a guided TACQ series should be considered. When ordering, confirm the 80mm stroke, the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and PT1/4 porting.
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 ACQD50X80 FAQ
This cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 824.6N at 0.5MPa and 1154.5N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum load capacity of 168kgf at 1.0MPa. Because a rod occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, making the thrust perfectly symmetric. The maximum standard stroke available for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods exiting both ends resist rotational torque and provide a longer guide length, eliminating the need for a separate anti-rotation guide in many setups. Impact at the stroke ends is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, which are not adjustable. For high-energy cycles, an external shock absorber is recommended.
