Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 10mm 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 ACQD63X10
The AirTAC ACQD63X10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of its C-clip riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular piston area is identical in both directions, yielding exactly 1401.5N of force at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa for both extension and retraction. This equal bidirectional thrust is ideal for symmetric push/pull cycles.
Built with a 63mm bore and a 10mm stroke, this unit uses a PT1/4 port and a Ø20mm piston rod with an M10x1.5 female rod-end thread. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends without requiring adjustment. The extra guide length from the dual rods resists torsion, allowing a small tool platform to be carried directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 10 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 (Ø63mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1402 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1962 N | 1962 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 286 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 ACQD63X10 Is Used
Twin-Guided Component Press
Provides stable, rotation-resistant pressing for small electronic connector pin insertion, leveraging the dual rods to maintain precise parallelism over the 10mm stroke.
Symmetric Transfer Clamp
Drives an opposing parts gripper in packaging machinery where the identical push and pull forces ensure balanced clamping pressure during product transfer.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to mechanically trigger a remote mechanical valve or carry a flag on a secondary assembly station without extra linkages.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10 the Right Cylinder?
For tasks needing around 1401.5N of equal bidirectional thrust over a short 10mm distance, this 63mm bore model is a strong fit. If your application requires less force, the 50mm bore provides 824.6N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa. Remember this unit ships without a sensor magnet; order an -S variant if switch feedback is required. Also, since a standard ACQ-type cannot hold a load on air loss, incorporate an external rod lock or pilot check valve if fail-safe positioning is critical.
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 ACQD63X10 FAQ
The ACQD63X10 delivers an equal push and pull force of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding force of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. Because the double-rod design occupies both chambers, the annular area is identical both ways, making push and pull forces equal. The maximum standard stroke for a 63mm bore is 100mm. It features a PT1/4 port and an M10x1.5 female rod-end thread.
The twin rods exiting both ends resist torsion and provide a longer guide length, allowing direct mounting of small tools without an external anti-rotation guide. Impact at stroke ends is absorbed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, which are not adjustable. For load holding, a standard ACQ-type does not hold position when air is lost; you must use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe operation.
