Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30B 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 ACQD80X30B
The AirTAC ACQD80X30B 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, 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, and the twin rods inherently resist rotation while extending guide length without needing an external guide rail.
This 80mm bore unit integrates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. It features a PT3/8 port and male M22x1.5 rod-end threads (-B) for direct load coupling. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for external switches. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, with a speed range of 30-500mm/s.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X30B Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide machining fixture platform where the dual rods prevent torsion during heavy metal clamping at 2267.8N.
Symmetric Transfer
Actuates a packaging station transfer arm with equal push and pull thrust, ensuring smooth bi-directional product handoffs.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station assembly press, using the second rod end to trip a remote positional flag on a secondary mechanism.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30B the Right Cylinder?
Select this 80mm bore model for applications requiring 2267.8N of symmetric force at 0.5MPa. If lower force is acceptable, the 63mm bore provides 1401.5N, while stepping up to the 100mm bore yields 3524.8N. A single-rod ACQ cylinder is preferable if you only need standard unidirectional thrust. For heavy radial loads, a guided TACQ cylinder might offer better support. When ordering, confirm the 30mm stroke, PT3/8 port, and the male M22x1.5 thread option.
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 ACQD80X30B FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. The equal force is due to the double-rod design creating identical annular areas both ways. It has a 30mm stroke (max standard 100mm), a PT3/8 port, and a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread.
No, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. Additionally, this specific model ships without a sensor magnet, although the body features grooves for mounting external reed or solid-state switches if needed.
