Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X25
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X25 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 25mm 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 ACQD63X25
The AirTAC ACQD63X25 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical on extension and retraction, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa.
This symmetric force output is ideal for dual-station actuation. The twin Ø20mm rods resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state sensors later, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb impact energy at each stroke end.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X25 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X25 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 25 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 ACQD63X25 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Arms
Drives dual-sided pick-and-place arms in packaging lines, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain balanced cycle times.
Twin-Guided Pushers
Pushes workpieces on CNC infeed conveyors where the twin rods prevent jaw rotation under offset loads.
Dual-Station Actuation
Indexes two separate test fixtures simultaneously using both rod ends to deliver 1962.2N of thrust at 0.7MPa.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X25 the Right Cylinder?
This 63mm bore unit generates 1401.5N both ways at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less force, the 50mm bore provides 824.6N, while stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N. Choose this double-rod model when rotational stability or a second rod end for a sensor flag is required; otherwise, a standard single-rod ACQ is more compact. Ensure you specify the PT1/4 port and the female M10x1.5 rod-end thread when ordering.
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 ACQD63X25 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. The standard stroke limit for this 63mm bore is 100mm. Push equals pull because the annular piston area is identical in both directions.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
