Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15B 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 ACQD80X15B
The AirTAC ACQD80X15B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods extending from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective 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 symmetric force output is ideal for applications requiring consistent bidirectional motion without differential pressure tuning.
Equipped with a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread, it couples directly to tooling platforms. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end absorb impact energy rather than relying on adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnetic piston, although the body retains sensor grooves for future retrofits. The unit does not hold position upon air loss; utilize an external rod lock for fail-safe load securing.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X15B Is Used
Twin-Guided Ejector
Provides stable ejection of heavy machined metal parts from CNC milling centers, utilizing the dual rods to prevent jaw deflection under asymmetric load.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-station transfer carriage in packaging machinery, leveraging equal push and pull dynamics to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Dual-End Actuation
Powers a multi-stage stamping press where one rod end actuates the primary die and the opposite end triggers a mechanical proximity flag for sequencing.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the ACQD80X15B provides 2267.8 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, stepping down to the 63mm bore yields 1401.5 N, while scaling up to the 100mm bore provides 3524.8 N. This 15mm stroke variant is optimal for short clamping or ejecting duties. If anti-rotation guidance is unnecessary, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder may offer a lighter footprint. Conversely, for high eccentric loads demanding extreme rigidity, a guided TACQ module might be preferable. Confirm your ordering parameters: bore 80, stroke 15, male rod thread (B), and PT3/8 port size.
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 ACQD80X15B FAQ
This cylinder generates equal push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum load capacity of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates equal annular areas on both sides of the piston. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist torsional rotation and provide extended guide length without external guides. Impact deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions; for high energy cycles, use an external shock absorber. Additionally, this model does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered—an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding.
