Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 10mm 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 ACQD80X10
The AirTAC ACQD80X10 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where a shaft protrudes from both ends. Because the rod occupies both internal chambers, the effective annular area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. The dual shafts inherently resist rotation and provide a longer guide length, allowing a tool platform to be carried directly without needing a separate external anti-rotation guide.
This 80mm bore variant uses a PT3/8 port and a 25mm rod with an M16x2.0 female thread end. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves for position sensing, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, with a proof rating of 1.5MPa across a -20 to +70C temperature range.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 10 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Rod end thread | M16×2.0 female / M22×1.5 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 (Ø80mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2268 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3175 N | 3175 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 463 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 ACQD80X10 Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide format carton transfer in packaging lines, using the dual rods to prevent yawing under offset loads without an external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer
Actuates a dual-station pick-and-place in electronics assembly, leveraging the equal annular force to ensure identical clamping pressure in both directions.
Dual-End Actuation
Operates a secondary cam mechanism on a textile machine via the second rod end while the primary side manages the main loom beat-up motion.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore, the adjacent 63mm option yields 1401.5N at 0.5MPa, while the 100mm bore provides 3524.8N at 0.5MPa, making this 2267.8N model ideal for medium-heavy symmetric loads. If your mechanism only requires standard single-direction actuation, a single-rod ACQ cylinder offers a more compact footprint. For applications demanding precise non-rotating travel over longer distances, a guided TACQ profile might be preferable. Confirm your build needs the 10mm stroke, PT3/8 ports, and the default female M16x2.0 rod-end thread 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 ACQD80X10 FAQ
It generates 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are equal because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption, meaning there are no adjustable air cushions. For high kinetic energy approaches, an external shock absorber is recommended. A plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; fail-safe holding requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
