Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150S 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 ACQD80X150S
The AirTAC ACQD80X150S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each pressure chamber, the annular areas match, yielding identical push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This 80mm bore unit carries a maximum load capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. The extended 150mm stroke exceeds the 100mm standard maximum for this bore, making it a made-to-order long-stroke variant.
Dual rods provide a longer guide length and high torsional resistance, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second protruding rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Equipped with an -S piston magnet, the cylinder works with reed or solid-state electronic switches fitted into the integrated grooves. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the PT3/8 porting handles rapid 30-500mm/s cycling.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X150S Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide packaging carton flap folder where torsional stiffness prevents yawing during high-speed contact, eliminating the need for a separate external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Powers a dual-sided materials handling transfer carriage on an automotive assembly line, using the second rod end to mount a synchronized secondary gripper.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a multi-position clamping fixture in a CNC machining center, relying on equal bidirectional force to securely seat heavy workpieces from either direction.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X150S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore with its 150mm stroke means ordering a nonstandard long-stroke configuration, as it surpasses the 100mm standard limit. If your application requires less force, the 63mm bore delivers 1401.5N at 0.5MPa; for heavier demands, the 100mm bore provides 3524.8N at 0.5MPa. Remember that a plain ACQ-type cylinder drifts when air pressure is lost, so integrate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if fail-safe load holding is required. Confirm you need the default female M16x2.0 rod-end thread and PT3/8 porting 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 ACQD80X150S FAQ
This cylinder provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the twin rods occupy both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The 150mm stroke is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 80mm bore.
The twin rods resist rotation and extend the guiding length, allowing direct tool mounting without an external guide. The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state electronic switches in the body grooves. Instead of adjustable air cushions, fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the piston near stroke ends; for high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber.
