Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 30mm 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 ACQD63X30
The AirTAC ACQD63X30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a piston rod extending from both ends. Because the twin rods occupy identical annular areas on each side, it generates equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional power without force drop.
Equipped with a 20mm diameter rod and a PT1/4 port, this 63mm bore unit provides robust actuation within a space-saving riveted body. The dual-rod architecture significantly increases guide length and resists torsional deflection, allowing it to carry a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 ACQD63X30 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a bi-directional parts shuttle on an assembly line where matching 1401.5N extension and retraction forces prevent stalling during mid-stroke direction reversals.
Twin-Guided Tool Platform
Carries a small pick-and-place end effector directly on the protruding second rod end, utilizing the extended guide length to resist torsional twist without a separate guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers two synchronized clamping mechanisms from a single compact body in a machining cell, using both rod ends to actuate opposing fixtures simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30 the Right Cylinder?
Stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 824.6N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N. This 63mm model strikes a middle ground with 1401.5N both ways, making it suitable for medium-duty transfer. If your mechanism already features an external linear guide and you simply need maximum forward thrust, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might be a lighter alternative. For heavy radial loads requiring extreme precision, a guided TACQ module could be preferable. When ordering, confirm the 30mm stroke, female M10x1.5 rod-end threads, and standard PT1/4 porting.
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 ACQD63X30 FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal at 1401.5N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum load of 286kgf at 1.0 MPa. Because a rod exits both ends, the annular area is identical in each direction. The maximum standard stroke available for the 63mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact energy, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion. For high kinetic energy loads, an external shock absorber is recommended. Additionally, it does not hold position if air pressure is lost; a fail-safe external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for load holding.
