Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150S 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 ACQD63X150S
The ACQD63X150S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and a 150mm made-to-order stroke. Because twin piston rods exit the body at both ends, the annular piston areas match perfectly. This yields identical push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, enabling perfectly symmetric cycles. The extended 150mm travel exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this bore, requiring a special long-stroke build.
A rod diameter of 20mm and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends ensure robust shock absorption without external adjustment. The integrated -S piston magnet pairs seamlessly with reed or solid-state electronic switches placed directly into the body grooves for precise end-of-stroke detection. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, while the twin-rod architecture provides exceptional anti-rotation stability and extended guide length for heavy tooling platforms.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X150S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place handler in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to move products smoothly in both directions without momentum imbalances.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes heavy cartons on a conveyor system where the dual rods resist torsional loads and prevent jaw rotation, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates a secondary tooling platform or sensor flag from the rear rod end on an automated assembly line, allowing two stations to be actuated simultaneously from one compact body.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 63mm bore model for applications needing 1401.5N of thrust at 0.5MPa, or step down to the 50mm bore providing 824.6N if carrying lighter loads. Moving up to the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N for heavier pushing. Remember that a standard ACQD63 maxes out at 100mm of travel; this 150mm variant is a special long-stroke configuration. If your mechanism already features an external linear guide, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might suffice. When ordering, confirm the PT1/4 port, the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and the -S magnet option.
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 ACQD63X150S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create matching annular areas. The 150mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 63mm bore.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for non-adjustable shock absorption. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches in the body grooves. Note that a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; if fail-safe load holding is required, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
