Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X200S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X200S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 200mm 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 ACQD80X200S
The AirTAC ACQD80X200S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where a piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies both internal chambers, the annular area remains identical in each direction. This yields perfectly equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, enabling perfectly symmetric cycles without force drop-off.
This 80mm bore variant includes an extended 200mm stroke, exceeding the 100mm standard maximum to function as a made-to-order long-stroke unit. The dual Ø25mm rods resist rotation and add guiding length, removing the need for an external anti-rotation guide. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Equipped with the -S magnet, the integrated grooves accept reed or solid-state switches, while the second rod end can drive a sensor flag or secondary load.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X200S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X200S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 200 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 ACQD80X200S Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide format palletizing pusher bar where the dual rods prevent yawing without needing a separate external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers an equal-force transfer shuttle in packaging machinery, utilizing the matching push and pull annular areas for consistent indexing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary mechanism or sensor flag from the opposite rod end on an automotive assembly line, saving space and cycle time.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X200S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore unit provides a maximum thrust of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 63mm bore yields 1401.5N at 0.5MPa. For heavier demands, the 100mm bore offers 3524.8N at 0.5MPa. Keep in mind a plain ACQD does not hold position upon air loss; adding an external rod lock or pilot check valve ensures fail-safe load holding. This long-stroke 200mm configuration is nonstandard, so confirm the PT3/8 porting and female M16x2.0 rod-end thread 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 ACQD80X200S FAQ
The ACQD80X200S delivers 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 equal annular areas on both sides. The 200mm stroke is a nonstandard long-stroke variant exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 80mm bore.
The dual-rod design inherently resists rotation and provides a longer guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The -S option includes a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves.
