Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 15mm 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 ACQD80X15
The AirTAC ACQD80X15 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 25 mm piston rod extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional thrust without force drop on the retract stroke.
The twin-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing you to carry a tooling platform directly without needing an external non-rotation guide. This 80 mm bore unit utilizes a PT3/8 port and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. While the body retains magnetic-switch grooves, this specific configuration ships without a magnet, and the female M16x2.0 rod-end thread is standard.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 15 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 ACQD80X15 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer carriage on a packaging line, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Twin-Guided Forming Press
Actuates a small forming die where the twin rods prevent platform rotation under high eccentric loads, eliminating the need for a separate external guide.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station clamping fixture in an automotive parts machine, using the second protruding rod end to drive a mechanical flag or secondary mechanism.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80 mm bore with a 15 mm stroke provides 2267.8 N of force in both directions. If your application requires less thrust, stepping down to a 63 mm bore yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a 100 mm bore provides 3524.8 N. If you only need unidirectional push force and want a higher extend thrust, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might be a better fit. For multi-axis loads requiring extreme side-load resistance, a guided TACQ cylinder should be considered. When ordering, confirm the 15 mm stroke, PT3/8 port size, and standard female M16x2.0 rod threads.
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 ACQD80X15 FAQ
The ACQD80X15 provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum force of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80 mm bore is 100 mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, which are not adjustable. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
