Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X100SB is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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 ACQD63X100SB
The AirTAC ACQD63X100SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods extending from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area stays identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications needing consistent bi-directional thrust. The parallel rods also prevent platform rotation without needing a separate external guide.
Built with a riveted C-clip body, this 63mm bore unit integrates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The S option provides a piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches via the body grooves. The B option supplies a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, while the PT1/4 port handles pneumatic supply.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X100SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X100SB |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 ACQD63X100SB Is Used
Symomatic Transfer Arms
Drives a dual-sided transfer arm in packaging machinery where the second rod end mounts a sensor flag, ensuring precise product handoff without rotational drift.
Twin-Guided Pushers
Pushes heavy workpieces on a machining center using both rods to resist torsional loads, maintaining strict alignment of the clamping fixture.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate stations simultaneously from one compact body on an electronics assembly line, utilizing the equal force for synchronized clamping.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X100SB the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 63mm bore generates 1401.5N of equal bi-directional force. If your application requires less thrust, stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 824.6N, whereas moving up to the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N. This 100mm stroke represents the maximum standard travel for this bore size. If your mechanism only needs one-sided actuation, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is more space-efficient. Conversely, if your load demands high precision and torsional rigidity, a guided TACQ module might serve better. When ordering, confirm the PT1/4 port, the M18x1.5 male rod thread, and the required magnetic switch compatibility.
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 ACQD63X100SB FAQ
The cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The 100mm stroke is the maximum standard travel available for this 63mm bore.
No, a plain ACQD cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load if air supply is lost or a valve is centered; an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding. For end-of-stroke impacts, the cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
