Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45S 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 ACQD80X45S
The ACQD80X45S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a rod protrudes from both ends. Because the piston sees annular area on both sides, push and pull forces are identical at 2267.8N (0.5MPa) and 3175N (0.7MPa). This symmetry is ideal for applications needing identical bidirectional power. The twin rods inherently resist rotation and provide a long guide length, allowing you to mount a heavy tool platform directly without adding a separate external guide rail.
Built with a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, it handles end-of-stroke impact without needing adjustable cushions. The S option includes a piston magnet for position sensing via reed or solid-state switches in the body grooves. Operating at 0.15-1.0MPa with a PT3/8 port and 25mm rods, it achieves speeds of 30-500mm/s. Note that a plain cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X45S Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a heavy stamping or machining fixture on a machining center, using the dual rods to maintain strict parallelism and resist torsional deflection during the metalworking cycle.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Shifts heavy palletized components between processing stations in a bottling plant, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a multi-head packaging machine where one rod end drives the primary sealing jaw while the opposite end mounts a sensor flag to confirm jaw position for the PLC.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X45S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 80mm bore generates 2267.8N of equal bidirectional force. If your load requires less power, dropping to a 63mm bore yields 1401.5N, whereas stepping up to a 100mm bore provides 3524.8N for heavier demands. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you only need unidirectional push force and want a lighter footprint. The twin-rod design here is optimal when you need to prevent platform rotation or mount a secondary load on the opposite rod end. When ordering, confirm the 45mm stroke, the PT3/8 port, and the female M16x2.0 rod-end threading.
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 ACQD80X45S 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 equals pull because the rod occupies both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The standard stroke limit for this 80mm bore is 100mm, and this specific model has a 45mm stroke.
The twin rods prevent rotation and extend the guide length without needing an external guide. The -S option provides a magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches fitted into the body grooves. Impact at stroke ends is absorbed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so add an external shock absorber for high-energy loads.
