Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5B 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 ACQD63X5B
The AirTAC ACQD63X5B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends. 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 symmetry is ideal for applications requiring perfectly balanced bi-directional cycles.
The extended guide length and twin-rod architecture inherently resist rotation, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without adding an external anti-rotation guide. It features a 63mm bore, a 5mm stroke, and a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) that couples directly to your load. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends, while the body retains sensor grooves for adding reed or solid-state switches, though this specific unit ships without a magnet.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X5B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-sided pusher in a packaging line where equal push and pull forces prevent payload skewing during transit.
Twin-Guided Tool Platform
Mounts a small machining head directly to the male rod end, utilizing the extended guide length to resist torsional deflection.
Dual-Station Actuator
Actuates a clamping mechanism on an automated lathe, using the second rod end to drive a secondary mechanical flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5B the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 63mm bore generates 1401.5N of equal force. Stepping down to the 50mm bore yields 824.6N, while the larger 80mm bore provides 2267.8N, helping you bracket your required push and pull capacity. If your payload is light and you only need unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ might suffice, but for synchronized dual-station actuation or anti-rotation demands, this double-rod configuration is superior. Confirm the 5mm stroke, PT1/4 port, and male M18x1.5 thread 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 ACQD63X5B 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 double-rod design creates equal annular areas in both chambers. The standard stroke limit for this 63mm bore is 100mm, and this specific model has a 5mm stroke.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold its load when air is lost, as the fixed NBR elastomer bumpers only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends. For fail-safe load holding, you must integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
