Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15SB 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 ACQD80X15SB
The AirTAC ACQD80X15SB 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 symmetry is ideal for applications requiring perfectly balanced bidirectional cycles.
The dual rods inherently resist rotation and extend the guiding length, allowing you to mount a small tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. This 80mm bore unit uses a PT3/8 port and a 25mm rod with an M22x1.5 male thread (-B) for direct load coupling. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, and the -S magnet supports reed or solid-state switches in the built-in grooves. Note that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X15SB Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided transfer arm in packaging machinery where equal push and pull forces ensure stable, vibration-free product handling.
Twin-Guided Stamping Platform
Mounts a small stamping head directly to the twin rods in electronics assembly, eliminating extra guide pins while resisting rotational torque.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to trip a remote position sensor on a woodworking line, saving space by combining actuation and signaling.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X15SB the Right Cylinder?
For this 80mm bore, the ACQD80X15SB delivers 2267.8N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5MPa. If your application needs less force, stepping down to the 63mm bore yields 1401.5N, while stepping up to the 100mm bore provides 3524.8N. If you only require unidirectional thrust and want higher extend force than retract force, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is a better choice. If heavy lateral loads exceed the twin-rod guide capacity, consider a guided TACQ cylinder. When ordering, confirm the 15mm stroke, PT3/8 port, M22x1.5 male rod thread, and the -S magnet option for sensor compatibility.
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 ACQD80X15SB FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum load of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are identical because the rod occupies both chambers, creating equal annular areas. The maximum standard stroke for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods prevent rotation and extend guide length. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-travel impact, but they are not adjustable air cushions; use external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches. It does not hold position on air loss, so an external rod lock is required for fail-safe holding.
