Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10B 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 ACQD80X10B
The AirTAC ACQD80X10B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each pressure chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for applications requiring identical motion dynamics in both travel directions.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and extends the guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. This specific unit includes a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling, uses a PT3/8 port, and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this model ships without a sensor magnet.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X10B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pusher plate on a packaging conveyor where equal push and pull forces ensure smooth, balanced part transfer without thrust imbalance.
Twin-Guided Spot Facing Tool
Mounts a small machining platform directly to the protruding rods on an automated lathe, utilizing the extended guide length to resist cutting torque without an external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Operates a dual-station clamping fixture on a metalworking press, using the second rod end to drive a secondary mechanical stop or indicator flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X10B the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa, this 80mm bore generates 2267.8 N both ways. If your load is lighter, stepping down to the 63mm bore yields 1401.5 N, saving space. For heavier demands, the 100mm bore provides 3524.8 N. Consider a single-rod ACQ if you only need unidirectional thrust and want to maximize forward force, or a guided TACQ cylinder if your load requires heavy lateral support beyond what the twin rods provide. When ordering, confirm the 10mm stroke, the male M22x1.5 rod thread, and the PT3/8 porting.
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 ACQD80X10B FAQ
This cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum rated force of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull are equal because the rod occupies both chambers, creating identical annular areas. It features an 80mm bore, a 10mm stroke (max standard stroke for this bore is 100mm), a PT3/8 port, and a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions; for high-speed approaches, an external shock absorber is recommended. Additionally, while the body retains sensor grooves, this specific model ships without a sensor magnet, so reed or solid-state switches will not function unless a magnet is added.
