Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45S 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 ACQD63X45S
The AirTAC ACQD63X45S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective 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 symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional thrust.
The Ø63mm bore uses a Ø20mm rod with PT1/4 ports and a female M10x1.5 rod-end thread. The extended guide length from the dual rods resists torsional deflection, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can also drive a sensor flag or secondary load. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed inside the body absorb end-of-stroke impacts.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X45S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a dual-clamp transfer arm in packaging machinery where equal push and pull forces prevent part skewing during transit.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes metal blanks on a press line; the twin rods absorb lateral stress without twisting, eliminating the need for a separate guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates two synchronized workstations on an electronics assembly fixture, using the second rod end to trigger a reed or solid-state sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X45S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 63mm bore provides 1401.5N of thrust both ways. Stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 824.6N, while moving up to the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N. Choose the 63mm size when your payload requires substantial mid-range force with symmetric cycling. If your mechanism only needs one-sided pushing, a single-rod ACQ cylinder saves space, while a guided TACQ unit fits heavier lateral loads. Ensure you specify the -S magnet for position sensing and confirm the female M10x1.5 rod thread matches your tooling.
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 ACQD63X45S FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull thrust of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. Forces are identical both ways due to the annular area. The maximum standard stroke for a 63mm bore is 100mm, and operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa.
The twin rods exiting both ends prevent rotation and extend the guide length for tool platforms. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches in the body grooves. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end impacts; they are not adjustable air cushions, so add an external shock absorber for high-energy loads.
