Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30SB 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 ACQD63X30SB
The AirTAC ACQD63X30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the riveted body. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions. This means push and pull forces are perfectly equal, delivering 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa. The symmetrical thrust is ideal for cycles requiring consistent power in both directions.
This 63mm bore model uses a PT1/4 port and includes an internal magnet (-S) for tracking with reed or solid-state switches. The male-thread rod ends (-B) feature an M18x1.5 thread, coupling directly to your tooling. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke limits, while the dual-rod design inherently resists rotation and extends guiding length without needing a separate external guide.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X30SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a packaging line transfer carriage where equal push and pull forces prevent tooling drift during high-speed product shifting.
Twin-Guided Machining Clamp
Secures automotive components during CNC milling, using the dual rods to resist rotational torque without an external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary sensor flag or load on the rear rod end to trigger a sequencing valve on an assembly machine.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X30SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore unit provides 1401.5 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, the 50mm bore offers 824.6 N; for heavier loads, the 80mm bore provides 2267.8 N. The 30mm stroke is well within the 100mm maximum standard travel for this series. If your mechanism only needs single-direction actuation, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is a simpler choice, while a guided TACQ unit fits applications needing extreme lateral load support. Confirm the PT1/4 port, M18x1.5 male rod threads, and the -S magnet option 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 ACQD63X30SB FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position when air is lost; the rod will drift. The fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
