Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 45mm 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 ACQD80X45B
The AirTAC ACQD80X45B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit from both body ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area stays identical in both directions, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa and 3175N at 0.7 MPa. This 80mm bore model integrates a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling and uses PT3/8 ports.
Twin rods provide extended guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties, eliminating the need for a separate external guide in many setups. The fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends rather than relying on adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet; while the body retains sensor grooves, it will not trigger reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 45 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 ACQD80X45B Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a heavy machining fixture platform on a CNC line, using the dual rods to prevent torsional deflection during metal clamping.
Symmetric Transfer
Actuates a packaging gantry where the equal 3175N force at 0.7 MPa ensures balanced load movement across both inward and outward strokes.
Dual-Station Actuation
Indexes a secondary tooling flag on the rear rod end to trigger a mechanical valve on an automotive assembly press.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45B the Right Cylinder?
For this 80mm bore delivering 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa, sizing up to the 100mm version provides 3524.8N, while stepping down to the 63mm bore yields 1401.5N. If your application requires a single extending rod or inherently uneven push-pull dynamics, the standard ACQ series is a better fit. Choose the ACQD80X45B when you need symmetric 45mm stroke actuation with male M22x1.5 threading and 0.15-1.0 MPa operating pressure.
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 ACQD80X45B FAQ
This double-acting cylinder provides an equal push and pull force of 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa and 3175N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Forces are identical both ways because the twin rods create equal annular areas on each side of the piston. The standard stroke limit for this 80mm bore is 100mm, operating within a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.
No, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Additionally, this specific model lacks a -S magnet, so despite having sensor grooves machined into the body, it cannot operate reed or electronic switches without modification. The male M22x1.5 rod threads couple directly to your load.
