Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 45mm 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 ACQD63X45
The AirTAC ACQD63X45 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced transfer cycles.
The protruding second shaft provides a long guide length and high torsional resistance, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external non-rotation guide. It includes PT1/4 ports, a 20mm piston rod with an M10x1.5 female thread, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific unit ships without a sensing magnet.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 ACQD63X45 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided parts shuttle on an automotive assembly line, utilizing the identical extend and retract forces to maintain perfectly balanced motion during rapid cycles.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a precision drilling head on a PCB fabrication machine, relying on the two rods to resist torsional deflection without requiring a separate external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a packaging machine's dual-station pick-and-place head, using the secondary rod end to mechanically trigger a pneumatic valve or mount a physical sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore provides 1401.5N of thrust both ways at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to a 50mm bore drops the equal force to 824.6N, while moving up to an 80mm bore raises it to 2267.8N. This 45mm stroke sits well within the 100mm maximum standard travel for this series. If your application only requires unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ offers a shorter footprint; if heavy lateral loads are present, a guided TACQ might serve better. Confirm your thread needs (default female M10x1.5) and port size (PT1/4) 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 ACQD63X45 FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 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 twin rods create the same annular piston area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for a 63mm bore is 100mm, and operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0MPa.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke damping, which are not adjustable. For high-energy impacts, add an external shock absorber. Note that a plain ACQD does not hold position if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
