Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 100mm 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 ACQD80X100
The AirTAC ACQD80X100 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both body ends. Because a piston rod occupies each internal chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions. This means the push and pull forces are perfectly equal, delivering 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa and 3175N at 0.7 MPa. The symmetrical thrust is ideal for applications requiring consistent load handling in both travel directions.
Twin rods provide a longer guide length and inherently resist mechanical rotation, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. The Ø25mm piston rods feature female M16x2.0 end threads, and the body integrates PT3/8 port threads. NBR elastomer bumpers are fixed at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet; while the body retains sensor grooves, a magnet is required to trigger reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 100 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 ACQD80X100 Is Used
Twin-Guided Machining Pusher
Drives a heavy machining fixture on a CNC lathe, using the dual rods to prevent rotational drift during high-thrust metalworking clamping cycles.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Indexes heavy pallets on an automotive assembly line, leveraging the equal 2267.8N push and pull forces to maintain stable bi-directional transfer.
Dual-Station Actuation Platform
Mounts a large tooling head on a packaging machine, using the second rod end to drive a mechanical flag while carrying the primary load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore, consider the neighboring 63mm and 100mm options. The 63mm bore provides 1401.5N at 0.5 MPa, while the 100mm bore yields 3524.8N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires holding the load position upon air loss, a plain ACQD will drift, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is necessary. For tool platforms needing built-in anti-rotation without an external guide, this twin-rod design is optimal. To order, confirm the 100mm stroke, the default female M16x2.0 rod thread, and the PT3/8 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 ACQD80X100 FAQ
The ACQD80X100 delivers an equal push and pull force of 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa and 3175N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create the same effective annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide extended guiding without an external guide. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends absorb impact, but these are not adjustable air cushions. For high-energy cycles, slow the approach or add external shock absorbers. A plain ACQD does not hold its load when air is lost; a rod lock or pilot check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
