Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 150mm 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 ACQD80X150
The AirTAC ACQD80X150 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods extending from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This 80mm bore design eliminates rotational torque without needing an external guide, while the extended 150mm stroke is a made-to-order variant surpassing the 100mm standard maximum.
It features a Ø25mm piston rod, PT3/8 port, and a female M16x2.0 rod-end thread. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet; while the body retains sensor grooves for solid-state or reed switches, adding a sensor flag requires the -S option.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 150 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 ACQD80X150 Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide material pusher on a woodworking conveyor, using the dual rods to resist rotational torque and maintain parallel alignment over the 150mm travel.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Powers a transfer mechanism in packaging machinery where equal push and pull forces ensure balanced acceleration and deceleration of product loads.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary mechanism or sensor flag from the rear rod end on an automotive assembly line while the front rod drives the primary tooling.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1401.5N at 0.5MPa, whereas stepping up to a 100mm bore provides 3524.8N. If your application only requires unidirectional thrust and standard guiding is sufficient, a single-rod ACQ cylinder may be more compact. For heavy lateral loads requiring robust guidance, a TACQ profile might be preferable. When ordering this 150mm nonstandard stroke, confirm the female M16x2.0 thread and PT3/8 porting. Keep in mind a standard ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; achieving fail-safe load holding requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
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 ACQD80X150 FAQ
The cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The 150mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 80mm bore.
The twin rods exiting both ends prevent rotation and provide a longer guide length, eliminating the need for a separate anti-rotation guide. Deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions. This specific model ships without a magnet, though the body retains grooves for mounting reed or solid-state switches.
