Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10B 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 ACQD63X10B
The AirTAC ACQD63X10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetry is essential for cycles requiring consistent force in both directions. The twin rods resist rotation and extend the guide length, allowing a tool platform to be carried without a separate external guide.
This 63mm bore variant features a PT1/4 port and a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) that couples directly to your load. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific unit ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves. A plain ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; if fail-safe holding is required, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X10B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pusher on a packaging conveyor, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to move cartons smoothly in both directions without force imbalance.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Mounts a small tooling plate on the twin rods in electronics assembly machinery, leveraging the extended guide length to prevent yawing during rapid vertical placement.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses both rod ends simultaneously to index two separate workholding fixtures on an automotive parts line, cutting cycle time by actuating two stations at once.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10B the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, this 63mm bore provides 1401.5 N of force both ways at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the 50mm bore offers 824.6 N, while stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2267.8 N. If your mechanism already has an external linear guide and you do not need anti-rotation or a second rod end, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder might be a more compact choice. If you need precise symmetrical actuation on a packaging line, this model is ideal. Confirm the 10mm stroke, the male M18x1.5 thread, and the PT1/4 port 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 ACQD63X10B FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull are equal because the rod occupies both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The maximum standard stroke for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
