Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10SB 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 ACQD63X10SB
The AirTAC ACQD63X10SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced transfer cycles, and the dual rods inherently resist rotation while extending guide length.
This specific configuration includes an S magnet for electronic or reed switch sensing via built-in grooves, plus a B male rod-end thread (M18x1.5) for direct load coupling. The body uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, the proof pressure is 1.5MPa, and the PT1/4 port drives the 20mm diameter piston rods at speeds of 30-500mm/s.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X10SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Arms
Drives a dual-ended pick-and-place arm in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain stable momentum during rapid bidirectional product transfers.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a small machining fixture on a CNC lathe loader, leveraging the dual rods to prevent rotational deflection without needing a separate external anti-rotation guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a short 10mm clamping stroke on an assembly press, using the second protruding rod end to mechanically trigger a sequence valve or mount a secondary sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X10SB the Right Cylinder?
For 1962.2N of equal bidirectional thrust at 0.7MPa, this 63mm bore is optimal. Stepping down to a 50mm bore yields 1154.5N, while moving up to an 80mm bore provides 3175.0N. If your application only needs one-sided push force and can tolerate unequal pull, a single-rod ACQ cylinder saves space. If the load requires heavy lateral guidance beyond the twin rods, a guided TACQ module fits better. To order, confirm the 10mm stroke, PT1/4 porting, and the SB options (magnet with male M18x1.5 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 ACQD63X10SB FAQ
It delivers 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 the same annular area in both chambers. The max standard stroke is 100mm, the port is PT1/4, and the male rod-end thread is M18x1.5.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; you need an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. For end-of-stroke deceleration, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. For high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber or slow the approach speed.
