Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 15mm 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 ACQD63X15
The AirTAC ACQD63X15 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where a piston exits both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area stays identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa. This symmetry ensures highly stable performance for your 15mm stroke requirements.
Twin rods inherently resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing a separate external anti-rotation guide. The unit features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes integrated sensor grooves. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet, and because it lacks a locking mechanism, the load will drift if air pressure is lost.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 ACQD63X15 Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide machining fixture plate on a CNC mill, using the dual rods to maintain strict parallelism and prevent binding over the 15mm travel.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers a packaging line diverter that needs identical force extending and retracting to smoothly shift cartons without stalling.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary pneumatic latch via the rear rod end on an automated assembly machine while the front rod drives the primary workholding clamp.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X15 the Right Cylinder?
Providing 1401.5 N of force both ways at 0.5 MPa, this 63mm bore sits between the 50mm option (824.6 N) and the 80mm option (2267.8 N). The 15mm stroke is well within the 100mm maximum standard limit for this bore. Choose a single-rod ACQ if your application only requires standard unidirectional pushing. Ensure you specify the PT1/4 port and the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread 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 ACQD63X15 FAQ
This cylinder generates an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
The dual rods exiting both ends resist rotation and provide extended guiding without an external guide. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, which are not adjustable air cushions. It does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
