Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø63mm bore and 80mm 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 ACQD63X80
The AirTAC ACQD63X80 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a piston rod extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa and 1962.2N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for cycles requiring consistent bi-directional thrust up to a maximum 286kgf at 1.0MPa.
Twin rods provide extended guiding length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing a separate external guide. The body incorporates magnetic-switch grooves for tracking, though this specific unit ships without the internal magnet. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, and the 80mm stroke operates within a 30-500mm/s speed range on standard PT1/4 ports.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø63 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 ACQD63X80 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided parts shuttle in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent timing in both directions without drift.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Carries a precision machining fixture on a CNC loader, relying on the two rods to prevent rotational deflection during clamping and unclamping sequences.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station actuation rig in electronics assembly, using the second protruding rod end to mechanically trigger a physical sensor flag on the return stroke.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore involves comparing adjacent sizes. Dropping to a 50mm bore reduces the equal push/pull thrust to 824.6N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to an 80mm bore raises it to 2267.8N at 0.5MPa. If your application only requires forward thrust and lacks space for a second rod, a single-rod ACQ series is more appropriate. For heavy side loads exceeding the twin-rod guide capacity, a guided TACQ cylinder is recommended. Ensure you specify the default female M10x1.5 rod-end threads and PT1/4 port threads 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 ACQD63X80 FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal at 1401.5N @0.5MPa and 1962.2N @0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 286kgf @1.0MPa. The maximum standard stroke for a 63mm bore is 100mm. It features a 20mm rod diameter, a female M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and a PT1/4 port.
No, a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; the rod will drift, requiring an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. Cushioning is provided by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
