Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30B 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 ACQD63X30B
The AirTAC ACQD63X30B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area remains identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring perfectly balanced advance and retract cycles.
Equipped with a male M18x1.5 piston rod thread, it couples directly to your tooling. The twin-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends guide length, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and operates on a PT1/4 port. Note that this specific variant omits the magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for future upgrades.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X30B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place arm in electronics assembly, leveraging the equal push/pull thrust to maintain perfectly balanced motion profiles.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes heavy cardboard cartons on a packaging line where the dual rods prevent chassis yaw without needing a separate external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two sequential clamps on an automotive fixture simultaneously, using the second protruding rod end to drive a mechanical flag or secondary load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30B the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to a 50mm bore yields 824.6N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to an 80mm bore provides 2267.8N at 0.5MPa. This 63mm bore delivers a maximum force of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. If your mechanism only requires unidirectional thrust and space is highly restricted, a single-rod ACQ might suffice. If heavy lateral loads exceed the twin rods' capacity, a guided TACQ cylinder is recommended. Confirm your 30mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and male M18x1.5 rod end 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 ACQD63X30B FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal at 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the double-rod design creates identical annular areas in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions. A plain cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe positioning, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
