Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 5mm 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 ACQD80X5
The AirTAC ACQD80X5 is a JIS compact double-acting cylinder where a Ø25mm rod protrudes from both ends. Because both chambers contain a rod, the annular piston area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for balanced actuation cycles.
Twin rods provide a long guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing you to mount a heavy platform directly without needing an external torque guide. The body features integrated magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 5 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 ACQD80X5 Is Used
Twin-Guided Press Pusher
Drives a heavy stamping die in an automotive line, using the dual rods to prevent wrenching under high 3175N off-center loads.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Indexes a machining fixture equally in both directions, exploiting the matched annular areas to maintain perfectly balanced shifting cycles.
Dual-Station Actuation
Simultaneously operates two separate clamps on a packaging machine, using the second protruding rod end to drive the secondary load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 80mm bore provides 2267.8N of thrust both ways; stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1401.5N, while moving up to a 100mm bore provides 3524.8N. If your application only needs unidirectional push force, a single-rod ACQ saves space. For multi-axis rotational resistance, a guided TACQ cylinder fits better. Confirm your ordering code includes the 5mm stroke and standard PT3/8 port.
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 ACQD80X5 FAQ
It delivers equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides of the piston. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
Deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both stroke ends, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; the rod drifts and the bumper only decelerates near the end of travel. For fail-safe holding, an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
