Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 ACQD63X60S
The AirTAC ACQD63X60S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both ends of the riveted body. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area remains identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced cycling tasks.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing you to carry a tooling platform without adding a separate external guide. The 63mm bore uses a PT1/4 port and a 20mm diameter piston rod. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke extremes, while the built-in magnet (-S) tracks position using either reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 ACQD63X60S Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided parts shuttle in packaging machinery, using the equal push and pull thrust to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Twin-Guided Pusher Station
Pushes heavy workpieces on an assembly conveyor where the two protruding rods prevent platform twisting without needing a separate external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate clamps simultaneously in an automotive welding fixture, utilizing the second rod end to drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore provides 1401.5 N of thrust both ways at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 50mm bore drops the equal force to 824.6 N, whereas an 80mm bore raises it to 2267.8 N. If your application only requires standard single-direction pushing and can tolerate unequal return force, a single-rod ACQ series may suffice. For heavier lateral loads requiring independent external guide rails, a guided TACQ series fits better. When ordering the ACQD63X60S, confirm the 60mm stroke, the default female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and the PT1/4 port size.
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 ACQD63X60S FAQ
The ACQD63X60S delivers an equal push and pull force of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide extended guiding without an external guide. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at the end of travel; these are not adjustable air cushions. The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches for sensing. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe load holding.
