Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60SB 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 ACQD63X60SB
The AirTAC ACQD63X60SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø20mm rods exiting both ends. This symmetrical annular design yields identical push and pull thrust—1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa—preventing force imbalance in bidirectional cycles. The male M18x1.5 rod-end threads couple directly to your load, while the integrated -S magnet activates reed or solid-state switches via the body grooves.
Twin rods inherently resist torsion and lengthen the bearing span, allowing a platform to be guided without a separate external guide rail. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed internally at both ends absorb end-of-stroke energy, though external shock absorbers are recommended for high-speed approaches. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, and the PT1/4 ports deliver pneumatic flow efficiently.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X60SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place arm in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull thrust to maintain consistent cycle times without force imbalance.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Transfers heavy workpieces along a conveyor in a materials handling line, relying on the two rods to prevent torsion and avoid binding under offset loads.
Dual-Station Actuation
Indexes a tooling platform between two machining stations on an automotive assembly fixture, using the second rod end to drive a secondary mechanical flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X60SB the Right Cylinder?
For this 63mm bore, the 1401.5N thrust at 0.5MPa fits medium-force positioning tasks. If your application requires less force, the adjacent 50mm bore provides 824.6N at 0.5MPa; stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2267.8N at 0.5MPa for heavier payloads. A single-rod ACQ cylinder is preferable if you only need unidirectional pushing or have space constraints on one side. If your mechanism demands extreme lateral load capacity beyond the twin-rod guide span, a linear guide rail paired with a TACQ cylinder offers superior load bearing. Ensure you specify the -S magnet for sensing and -B male M18x1.5 thread for direct mounting 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 ACQD63X60SB FAQ
The double-rod annular design provides 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. The maximum standard stroke available for the 63mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD cylinder will drift downward if air is lost, as the fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate near the stroke ends and do not lock the rod. For fail-safe vertical load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve must be installed.
