Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30S 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 ACQD63X30S
The AirTAC ACQD63X30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a rod exits both ends. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions. This yields an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, making it ideal for symmetric cycles.
Twin rods prevent platform rotation and provide a longer guide length without needing an external guide rail. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and the -S magnet enables tracking with reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X30S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place arm in packaging machinery, using the equal push and pull force to move components in both directions smoothly.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Indexes parts on a CNC lathe loader, where the twin rods prevent deflection and maintain alignment without needing an external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates two clamps simultaneously on an automotive welding fixture, using the second protruding rod end to actuate a secondary mechanism.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 63mm bore delivers 1401.5 N both ways. Stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 824.6 N, while the larger 80mm bore provides 2267.8 N. If your application only needs one-sided actuation, a single-rod ACQ is more compact. For heavy lateral loads requiring a robust external guide, a TACQ fits better. Confirm the 30mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and female M10x1.5 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 ACQD63X30S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the rod occupies both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
A plain ACQD does not hold its load when air is lost; you need an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not adjustable air cushions, so add an external shock absorber for high-energy impacts.
