Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150SB 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 ACQD63X150SB
The AirTAC ACQD63X150SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular areas match, generating identical extend and retract forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring perfectly balanced push and pull cycles. The 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100 mm standard maximum for this 63 mm bore.
Equipped with a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) and a piston magnet (-S), it couples directly to tooling and supports position sensing. The integrated magnet functions seamlessly with either reed or electronic solid-state switches. A fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end absorbs end-of-stroke impact, while the dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X150SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a packaging line transfer carriage where matching push and pull forces prevent load skewing across the 150 mm travel distance.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to trigger a remote sensor flag on a CNC tooling platform, verifying stroke completion without a separate limit switch.
Twin-Guided Lift Assembly
Elevates a small parts fixture in an electronics assembly machine, relying on the dual rods to resist torsional loads and prevent binding.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X150SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63 mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options: the 50 mm bore yields 824.6 N, and the 80 mm bore provides 2267.8 N, both at 0.5 MPa. The ACQD63X150SB is chosen when your application specifically demands 1401.5 N of equal bidirectional force over an extended 150 mm travel. If your mechanism already incorporates an external linear guide and you only need standard stroke lengths up to 100 mm, a single-rod ACQ series cylinder may provide a more compact footprint. Conversely, if your load requires precise multi-axis guidance without external rails, the guided TACQ series offers an integrated bearing solution. Confirm your ordering essentials: PT1/4 port, M18x1.5 male rod thread, and the required -S magnet configuration.
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 ACQD63X150SB FAQ
The cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push equals pull because the double-rod design creates identical annular piston areas on both sides. The 150 mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, as the standard maximum for a 63 mm bore is 100 mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide extended guiding without an external guide. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, which are not adjustable. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold position if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
