Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30S 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 ACQD80X30S
The AirTAC ACQD80X30S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions. This means push and pull forces are exactly equal at 2267.8 N (0.5 MPa) and 3175 N (0.7 MPa), with a maximum capacity of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The symmetrical twin-rod design inherently resists rotation and provides a longer guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. This 80mm bore unit uses PT3/8 ports and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. Equipped with the -S magnet, it supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches via the built-in cylinder grooves.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X30S Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a precision machining fixture platform where the dual rods prevent rotational drift during high-force metal clamping operations.
Symmetric Transfer
Executes equal push and pull strokes on a packaging line conveyor diverter, ensuring identical timing and force when routing heavy boxes.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station assembly machine where one rod end drives the primary workpiece and the opposite end mounts a sensor flag for positioning.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30S the Right Cylinder?
For this 80mm bore at 0.5 MPa, you get 2267.8 N of force both ways. If you need less force, the 63mm bore provides 1401.5 N, or for heavier loads, the 100mm bore offers 3524.8 N. Choose this double-rod ACQD model when symmetric push/pull cycles or anti-rotation is required; if you only need single-direction actuation, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is simpler. Confirm your ordering details: 80mm bore, 30mm stroke, -S magnet for sensors, default female M16x2.0 rod-end thread, 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 ACQD80X30S FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke for an 80mm bore is 100mm.
No, a plain ACQD cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the piston near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
