Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10S 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 ACQD63X10S
The ACQD63X10S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø20mm rods extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal thrust and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent power in both cycle directions.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends the guiding length, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing a separate external guide. This short 10mm stroke unit includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state switches, and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable cushions. It operates on PT1/4 porting with a female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X10S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Conveyor
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head on packaging lines where equal push and pull thrust ensures stable product handoff without momentum shifts.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Mounts a short-stroke machining fixture directly to the protruding rods on CNC cells, utilizing the extended guide length to resist torsion during clamping.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a short 10mm indexing motion on electronic component testers, using the second rod end to trigger a physical sensor flag for cycle confirmation.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63mm bore when your fixture demands high bidirectional force within a compact footprint. If your project requires slightly less thrust, the 50mm bore variant provides 824.6N at 0.5MPa; stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa for heavier payloads. Keep in mind the 10mm stroke offers minimal travel; ensure your kinematics fit within the 100mm maximum standard stroke limit for this bore. If your mechanism only needs unidirectional push force, a single-rod ACQ series may suffice, while a guided TACQ module works better for extreme lateral loads. Verify your ordering needs: this configuration specifies the -S magnet and standard female rod threads.
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 ACQD63X10S FAQ
This cylinder generates 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 equals pull because the double-rod design creates identical annular areas on both sides of the piston. The standard stroke range for this 63mm bore extends up to 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The built-in magnet (-S) supports both reed and electronic solid-state switches for sensing. Note that a plain compact cylinder does not hold position upon air loss; for fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
