Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X50
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X50 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 50mm 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 ACQD63X50
The AirTAC ACQD63X50 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 50mm stroke, where twin Ø20mm piston rods protrude from both ends. Because a rod occupies each working chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, generating perfectly equal thrust of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa for extension and retraction. This symmetric force output is ideal for balanced push/pull cycling without the intensity disparity found in single-rod units.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends the guiding length, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. Each end incorporates a fixed NBR elastomer bumper to soften end-of-stroke impacts, while the body retains integrated sensor grooves for position detection. This specific variant ships without a magnet and uses a female M10x1.5 rod-end thread with PT1/4 ports.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X50 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X50 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 ACQD63X50 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided product transfer carriage on a packaging line, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Mounts a precision pick-and-place head directly to the protruding rods on an electronics assembly machine, leveraging the extended guide length to prevent torsional deflection.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary clamping mechanism via the rear rod end on a machining center while the front rod drives the primary workpiece locator, saving vertical space.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X50 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 63mm bore provides 1401.5N of symmetric force at 0.5MPa; dropping down to a 50mm bore yields 824.6N, whereas stepping up to an 80mm bore provides 2267.8N. If your application requires unilateral push force greater than pull, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is a better fit, while a guided TACQ unit suits loads needing heavy lateral support. When ordering the ACQD63X50, confirm your 50mm stroke requirement, the default female M10x1.5 rod thread, and PT1/4 pneumatic connection. Note that because this configuration lacks the -S magnet, electronic or reed switches will not function without modification.
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 ACQD63X50 FAQ
The ACQD63X50 operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa and 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 piston area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed NBR elastomer 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. Additionally, for high-speed operations exceeding the bumper capacity, an external shock absorber should be added.
