Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30SB 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 ACQD80X30SB
The AirTAC ACQD80X30SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where shafts protrude from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric force profile is ideal for applications requiring identical advance and retract dynamics.
Twin rods inherently resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, allowing the unit to carry a tool platform without needing an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. This 80mm bore variant includes an S-option piston magnet for reed or solid-state switches, a B-option male M22x1.5 rod thread for direct load coupling, and fixed NBR bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X30SB Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide material pusher bar in a packaging conveyor, using both rod ends to maintain alignment and prevent twist under offset loads.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Executes matched forward and reverse motions in an electronics assembly line, leveraging the equal annular force for stable, balanced cycles.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a secondary tooling flag or cam on the rear rod end while driving the primary load up to 30mm stroke on automated machining centers.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X30SB the Right Cylinder?
For 0.5MPa tasks needing roughly 2267.8N both ways, this 80mm bore is optimal. If your load is lighter, the 63mm variant offers 1401.5N, while the 100mm bore provides 3524.8N for heavier pushes. If your mechanism requires true fail-safe load holding on air loss, a plain ACQD will drift; you must add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. The included male M22x1.5 rod end and PT3/8 port simplify direct mounting and plumbing.
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 ACQD80X30SB FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force 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 double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The standard stroke limit for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, which are not adjustable. For high-speed or high-energy cycles, you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber. The built-in S-option magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves.
