Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5S 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 ACQD63X5S
The AirTAC ACQD63X5S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder with twin Ø20mm rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding exactly 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa for both extension and retraction. This symmetric force profile is ideal for balanced push-pull cycles, while the 5mm stroke operates within the 100mm standard limit for this bore.
The dual-rod architecture resists torsion and extends guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide when carrying a small tool platform. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load simultaneously. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the built-in -S magnet interfaces cleanly with reed or solid-state switches via the body grooves.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X5S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Mechanism
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place arm in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain balanced loading during rapid reversals.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a small machining fixture on a CNC lathe loader, leveraging the two rods to prevent torsional deflection without adding an external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a compact indexing gate in an electronics assembly line, using the second rod end to trip a solid-state sensor flag for position confirmation.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5S the Right Cylinder?
For 5mm micro-stroke tasks needing 1401.5N both ways at 0.5MPa, this 63mm bore is optimal. If lower force suffices, the 50mm bore yields 824.6N; if higher force is needed, the 80mm bore provides 2267.8N. If anti-rotation is unnecessary and space is tight, a single-rod ACQ fits better. Confirm the PT1/4 port, M10x1.5 female rod thread, and the -S magnet option 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 ACQD63X5S 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 equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
The twin Ø20mm rods resist rotation and extend guiding length, enabling the second rod end to drive a sensor flag or secondary load. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches in the body grooves. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends, though external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
