Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X300
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X300 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 300mm 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 ACQD80X300
The AirTAC ACQD80X300 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin Ø25mm rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area remains identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced cycling, while the dual rods provide inherent anti-rotation support and extended guiding without needing external guides.
This specific configuration is a made-to-order long-stroke variant, extending 300mm beyond the standard 100mm maximum for this bore. It features a PT3/8 port and female M16x2.0 rod-end threads. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this unit ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state sensors if needed later.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X300 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X300 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 300 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 ACQD80X300 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a packaging line pusher plate from both ends, ensuring equal 3175N force during extend and retract cycles to prevent carton jamming.
Twin-Guided Lift Station
Elevates heavy pallets in a logistics sorter using the dual rods to resist torsional loads and maintain vertical alignment over the 300mm travel.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary tooling flag or load on the rear rod end in an automotive assembly cell while the primary end performs the main work.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X300 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore involves evaluating your thrust and travel requirements. At 0.5MPa, it generates 2267.8N of force both ways; stepping down to a 63mm bore drops this to 1401.5N, while moving up to a 100mm bore increases it to 3524.8N. The 300mm stroke is a non-standard long-stroke made-to-order option exceeding the typical 100mm limit. If your application only requires unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might suffice, but for synchronized two-sided actuation or anti-rotation, this twin-rod design is necessary. Confirm your porting (PT3/8), female M16x2.0 rod threads, and that fixed bumpers are adequate for your kinetic energy.
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 ACQD80X300 FAQ
This double-acting 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. The 300mm stroke is a non-standard long-stroke variant exceeding the 100mm standard maximum for this 80mm bore. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create equal annular areas on both sides of the piston.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
