Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X35
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X35 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 35mm 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 ACQD80X35
The AirTAC ACQD80X35 is a JIS compact double-acting pneumatic cylinder featuring twin Ø25 mm rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced transfer cycles, while the parallel rods inherently resist rotation and extend guide length without needing an external guide rail.
This 80 mm bore unit uses PT3/8 ports and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to decelerate impact near stroke extremes, rather than adjustable air cushions. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Note that a plain compact cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; utilize an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X35 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X35 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 35 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 ACQD80X35 Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide machining fixture pusher where the dual rods prevent jaw twist under heavy cutting loads, eliminating the need for a separate external linear guide.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Actuates a packaging line transfer arm with perfectly balanced push and pull forces, ensuring consistent dwell times during product indexing across the conveyor.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station assembly press where the second protruding rod end simultaneously triggers a mechanical flag to confirm press completion for safety logic.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X35 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80 mm bore model provides 2267.8 N of thrust both ways. If your application requires less force, the 63 mm bore yields 1401.5 N at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the 100 mm bore provides 3524.8 N for heavier payloads. If rotation resistance is unnecessary and you need maximum unbalanced push force, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is more appropriate. For applications demanding non-rotating translation with extremely high side loads, a guided TACQ cylinder might serve better. Confirm your ordering details: this variant specifies a 35 mm stroke, female M16x2.0 rod-end threads, and standard PT pneumatic ports.
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 ACQD80X35 FAQ
The equal push and pull force is 2267.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 3175 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum rated force of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create equal annular areas in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80 mm bore is 100 mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and provide a longer guide length for tool platforms. The body includes grooves for reed or solid-state sensors, but this specific model ships without a magnet installed. Impact is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads.
