Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 50mm 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 ACQD80X50
The AirTAC ACQD80X50 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends of the riveted body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This bore uses a Ø25mm rod, a PT3/8 port, and an M16x2.0 female rod-end thread.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and extends the guide length, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for external switches. The cylinder operates between 0.15-1.0MPa and handles speeds of 30-500mm/s.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 50 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 ACQD80X50 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Pusher
Drives a dual-sided pusher on a packaging line, utilizing the equal annular push and pull forces to move 80mm cartons consistently in both directions without torque drift.
Twin-Guided Stamping Press
Mounts a small stamping platform directly to the protruding rods in an electronics factory, leveraging the extended guide length to resist lateral deflection during part marking.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second rod end to drive a mechanical flag or secondary load on a textile machine, operating both stations simultaneously from one compact 80mm body.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 80mm bore for 50mm travel tasks needing 2267.8N of equal bidirectional force. If your application requires less push, the 63mm bore provides 1401.5N, or step up to the 100mm bore for 3524.8N if you need heavier thrust. A single-rod ACQ is preferable if unequal forces are acceptable and you want a shorter footprint. If your mechanism already has its own linear guide, a guided TACQ might be redundant. When ordering, confirm the 50mm stroke, PT3/8 porting, and the default M16x2.0 female thread.
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 ACQD80X50 FAQ
It provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum load of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke for an 80mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts if valve pressure is centered. For fail-safe holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
