The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X200S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 200mm 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.
The ACQD63X200S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø20mm piston rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular areas match, yielding exactly 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa of push and pull force. This 200mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 63mm bore.
Dual rods provide a longer guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties without needing an external guide rail. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke extremes, and the integrated -S piston magnet works seamlessly with reed or solid-state switches.

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.
| 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.

Thread: PT standard (G / NPT available). The twin rods resist rotation and add guiding length. Related: ACQ (single rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke), TACQ (guided).
Drives long-reach pick-and-place arms in packaging lines where equal push and pull forces prevent sagging during bidirectional transfers.
Acts as a dual-station actuator on CNC machine tooling carts, using the second rod end to trigger a solid-state limit flag.
Holds workpieces flat in metal bending presses, relying on the twin rods to resist torsion without a separate external guide.
For sizing, the adjacent Ø50 bore yields 824.6N while the Ø80 bore provides 2267.8N at 0.5MPa; this Ø63 sits perfectly for mid-range 1401.5N symmetric loads. If your application only needs unidirectional pushing and can tolerate unequal forces, a single-rod ACQ might fit better. For pure vertical lifting without external guide rails, a guided TACQ is recommended. Confirm the PT1/4 port, M10x1.5 female rod thread, and the 200mm made-to-order stroke when ordering.
Quick checklist
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. Because the twin rods occupy both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, making forces equal. The 200mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant exceeding the 100mm standard max for this 63mm bore.
No, a plain ACQ-type does not hold position on air loss; the rod drifts and an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe holding. For impacts, fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load near stroke extremes. These are not adjustable air cushions, so for high-energy approaches you should slow the cycle or add an external shock absorber.
