Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X175
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X175 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 175mm 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 ACQD63X175
The AirTAC ACQD63X175 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and a 175mm stroke. Because twin piston rods protrude from both ends, the annular area remains identical in each direction. This yields perfectly balanced thrust, delivering 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa for both extension and retraction. The extended 175mm travel exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this bore, classifying it as a long-stroke made-to-order variant.
A rod extending from the rear head provides a longer guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties without needing an external guide rail. You can mount a secondary load or sensor flag onto that second rod end. The body incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to soften end-of-stroke impacts, and it carries magnetic-switch grooves for position detection. This specific unit ships without a magnet and uses a PT1/4 port alongside a female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X175 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X175 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 175 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 ACQD63X175 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage on a packaging line where equal push and pull thrust prevents skewed movement during bidirectional product shifting.
Twin-Guided Lifting Platform
Raises and lowers a small machining fixture using the inherent anti-rotation properties of the two rods, eliminating the space needed for an external linear guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary mechanism or sensor flag from the rear rod end on an automotive assembly machine while the front rod executes the primary clamping motion.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X175 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options. A 50mm bore provides 824.6N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to an 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa; this model sits comfortably in the middle at 1401.5N. If your application requires a standard stroke under 100mm, the standard ACQD63 offers shorter overall dimensions. Should you need precise multi-axis guidance without torsional deflection, a guided TACQ cylinder might serve better. To order, confirm the 175mm travel requirement, the default female M10x1.5 rod thread, and PT1/4 pneumatic connection.
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 ACQD63X175 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 and pull are equal because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The 175mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for a 63mm bore.
The dual-rod design inherently resists rotation and provides a longer guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable; for high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
