Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100SB 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 ACQD80X100SB
The AirTAC ACQD80X100SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods extending from both body ends. Because a piston rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical on extension and retraction. This architectural balance yields equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa and 3175N at 0.7 MPa, enabling perfectly symmetric cycle dynamics without differential pressure surges.
Twin Ø25mm rods resist torsional deflection and provide an extended guide length, allowing the unit to support a small tool platform directly without requiring an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. This SB configuration includes a built-in piston magnet for electronic or reed switches, and an M22x1.5 male thread on the rod end for direct load coupling. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, rather than adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X100SB Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide material pusher in a packaging line, utilizing the dual rods to prevent torsional twisting under offset loads.
Symmetric Transfer
Executes balanced pick-and-place transfers in electronics assembly, relying on equal 2267.8N push and pull forces for stable motion.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station clamping fixture on a machining center, using the second rod end to actuate a secondary mechanism simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X100SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore involves sizing against neighboring options. Dropping to a 63mm bore yields 1401.5N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 100mm provides 3524.8N. This ACQD80X100SB provides a robust 2267.8N both ways, hitting a solid middle ground for heavier tooling. If your application only requires unidirectional thrust and you prefer a higher extension force, a single-rod ACQ series might be more appropriate. Conversely, if extreme lateral loads exist, a guided TACQ cylinder offers superior bearing support. Confirm you need the 100mm stroke (the maximum standard for this bore), the PT3/8 port, and the male M22x1.5 rod thread.
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 ACQD80X100SB FAQ
The ACQD80X100SB delivers equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa and 3175N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create equal annular areas in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 80mm bore is 100mm, and it operates within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
Deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not adjustable air cushions. The -S option provides a piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches. Note that a plain ACQD cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe positioning, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
