Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 30mm 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 ACQD80X30
The AirTAC ACQD80X30 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 25mm piston rod protruding from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent power delivery in both travel directions.
The twin rods provide extended guiding length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing a separate external guide. The body incorporates sensor grooves for reed or solid-state switches, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, and the PT3/8 port ensures adequate airflow for its 30-500mm/s speed range.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 30 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 ACQD80X30 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a dual-sided parts shuttle in packaging machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes heavy cartons on a logistics conveyor where the dual rods prevent platform twisting under offset loads without needing external guide rails.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a secondary mechanism or sensor flag via the rear rod end on an automotive assembly line while the front rod performs the primary clamping task.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options. Stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1401.5N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 100mm bore provides 3524.8N at 0.5MPa. This model provides 2267.8N at 0.5MPa, striking a balance for medium-heavy loads. If your mechanism only requires force in one direction and lacks anti-rotation requirements, a single-rod ACQ cylinder may offer a more compact footprint. For multi-axis pick-and-place units needing extreme lateral stability, a guided TACQ cylinder might be preferable. When ordering, confirm the 30mm stroke, default female M16x2.0 rod-end threads, and PT3/8 porting.
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 ACQD80X30 FAQ
The ACQD80X30 generates 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 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.
Deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable; for high-energy impacts, use an external shock absorber. A plain ACQD does not hold its load if air pressure is lost, as the fixed bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
