Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 150mm 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 ACQD63X150B
The ACQD63X150B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and a 150mm stroke. Because twin piston rods exit the body on opposite ends, the effective annular area remains identical in both directions. This yields perfectly equal push and pull forces, delivering 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa without any differential. The extended 150mm travel distance exceeds the standard 100mm maximum for this bore size, making it a made-to-order long-stroke variant.
Equipped with male M18x1.5 rod-end threads, this unit couples directly to your tooling platform. The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides a longer guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Please note this specific configuration ships without a sensor magnet, although the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for future retrofits.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 ACQD63X150B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage on packaging machinery where equal push and pull thrust prevents carriage twisting during bidirectional product indexing.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Actuates a multi-axis pick and place head in electronics assembly, utilizing the inherent anti-rotation properties of the double rod to maintain precise vertical alignment without external guides.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station clamping fixture on an automotive parts machining line, using the second protruding rod end to mechanically trigger a physical limit flag at the opposite side of the workstation.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore involves comparing adjacent sizes. Stepping down to a 50mm bore drops the force to 824.6N at 0.5MPa, while moving up to an 80mm bore raises it to 2267.8N at 0.5MPa. This model is ideal when your application strictly requires symmetric push/pull cycles between those thresholds. If your mechanism only needs force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ cylinder provides a more compact footprint. For applications demanding extreme lateral load support alongside long travel, a guided TACQ module might be preferable. Confirm your ordering essentials: this unit features a 150mm non-standard stroke, PT1/4 port, and 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 ACQD63X150B FAQ
This 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 equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The 150mm stroke is a non-standard long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 63mm bore.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion. For high-speed approaches, an external shock absorber is recommended. Additionally, a plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. For fail-safe holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
