Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 5mm 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 ACQD63X5
The AirTAC ACQD63X5 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of its riveted C-clip body. Because a rod occupies each working chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull force of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced cycling tasks.
Twin Ø20mm rods resist torsion and extend the guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not adjustable air cushions, keeping the overall footprint compact.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ACQD63X5 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place arm in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull force to maintain stable horizontal product transfer.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes heavy cartons on a conveyor line where the dual rods prevent platform rotation without needing a separate external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary mechanism or sensor flag from the rear rod end on an automated assembly machine while the front rod drives the primary work tool.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 63mm bore generates 1401.5N both ways. If your load is lighter, the 50mm bore provides 824.6N and is more compact; for heavier thrust, the 80mm bore offers 2267.8N. A standard single-rod ACQ fits better if you only need unidirectional push force and have space constraints. When ordering, confirm the 5mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread.
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 ACQD63X5 FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss. The fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate the rod near the stroke end and do not act as a brake. For fail-safe load holding, you must add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to the system.
