Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5SB 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 ACQD63X5SB
The AirTAC ACQD63X5SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a Ø20mm piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because the annular piston area is identical on each side, push and pull forces are perfectly equal at 1401.5N @0.5 MPa and 1962.2N @0.7 MPa. The twin rods inherently resist rotation and extend the guide length, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without adding a separate anti-rotation guide.
This 63mm bore unit features a very short 5mm stroke and a PT1/4 port. It includes the -S magnet for tracking position with reed or solid-state switches, and the -B male M18x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. Note that a standard compact cylinder drifts if air pressure drops; use an external rod lock or pilot check valve if fail-safe load holding is required.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X5SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Clamp
Clamps a part from both sides simultaneously on an automated machining center, utilizing the equal push/pull force to ensure perfectly balanced holding pressure.
Dual-Station Actuation
Drives two separate tooling stations at once using the two protruding rod ends, saving space on a multi-station packaging line.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes small electronic components on a PCB assembly conveyor, relying on the twin rods to prevent platform twist without needing an external guide.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X5SB the Right Cylinder?
For 1401.5N @0.5 MPa, the ACQD63X5SB is ideal for compact, symmetric thrust cycles. If your layout needs less force, the neighboring 50mm bore provides 824.6N @0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N @0.5 MPa. A single-rod ACQ63 works if you only need unidirectional pushing, and a guided TACQ63 is better if your load requires heavy lateral support. To order: specify the 5mm stroke, confirm the PT1/4 port, and use the -S and -B suffixes for the magnet and male M18x1.5 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 ACQD63X5SB FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N @0.5 MPa and 1962.2N @0.7 MPa, with a maximum holding force of 286 kgf @1.0 MPa. Push and pull are equal because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The max standard stroke is 100mm, and this unit has a 5mm stroke with a male M18x1.5 rod thread.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption, not adjustable air cushions. The -S option adds a piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Additionally, the second rod end can drive a sensor flag, and the twin rods resist rotation to stabilize the load.
