Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150B 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 ACQD80X150B
The AirTAC ACQD80X150B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 150mm stroke and a male-thread piston rod extending from both ends. Because the twin rods occupy both chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull thrust of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring identical force in both cycle directions.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and provides an extended guide length, allowing it to support a small tool platform directly without needing an external non-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. This 80mm bore variant features a Ø25mm piston rod, PT3/8 ports, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb end-of-stroke impact. As a 150mm stroke exceeds the 100mm standard maximum, it is manufactured as a long-stroke made-to-order variant.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X150B Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide tooling plate in a packaging line, using the dual rods to prevent yaw and maintain alignment without an external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer
Moves parts between two machining stations with equal advance and retract force, ensuring consistent clamping pressure in both directions.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary mechanism via the second rod end in an automotive assembly cell, actuating a sensor flag while driving the primary load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore involves sizing the bidirectional thrust: at 0.5MPa it provides 2267.8N both ways, stepping up from the 63mm bore (1401.5N) or down from the 100mm bore (3524.8N). The male M22x1.5 rod-end threads (-B) couple directly to your load. Note this is a 150mm long-stroke configuration exceeding the 100mm standard maximum. If your mechanism only requires standard push force where pull is lower, a single-rod ACQ may suffice; if heavy lateral loads exceed the twin-rod guide capacity, a guided TACQ series fits better. Confirm the PT3/8 port and operating pressure limits of 0.15-1.0MPa when ordering.
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 ACQD80X150B FAQ
The cylinder provides equal push and pull thrust of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The 150mm stroke is a long-stroke made-to-order variant, as the standard maximum for an 80mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and extend the guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. It does not hold position on air loss; for fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required. This unit ships without a sensor magnet.
