Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80B 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 ACQD63X80B
The AirTAC ACQD63X80B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull thrust of 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa and 1962.2 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent force during extension and retraction.
Equipped with a male M18x1.5 rod-end thread, this variant couples directly to tooling platforms. The dual rods extend the guiding length and prevent rotation without needing an external guide rail. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Please note this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding external switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD63X80B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided parts shuttle in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull force to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Twin-Guided Pick & Place
Lifts and lowers a multi-head pick tool in electronics assembly, relying on the twin rods to resist torsional load without a separate external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary station flag or clamp from the rear rod end on an automated machining line while the front rod drives the primary workpiece loader.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD63X80B the Right Cylinder?
Delivering 1401.5 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, this 63mm bore sits between the 50mm option (824.6 N) and the 80mm option (2267.8 N). Choose this size when your symmetric push/pull cycle demands roughly 1.4 kN of force from both sides. If your mechanism already features an external linear guide and only needs unidirectional thrust, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder may suffice. For this model, confirm the 80mm stroke, the PT1/4 port size, and the male M18x1.5 rod-end threading before 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 ACQD63X80B FAQ
The push and pull forces are equal at 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. This equality occurs because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption rather than adjustable air cushions; for high energy cycles, add an external shock absorber. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe positioning.
