Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50B 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 ACQD80X50B
The AirTAC ACQD80X50B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a rod exits both ends. Because both chambers have an identical annular area, it generates 2267.8N of force at 0.5 MPa in both directions, ensuring perfectly symmetric push and pull cycles. The twin rods prevent platform rotation and extend the guide length, eliminating the need for a separate anti-rotation guide.
This 80mm bore unit features a 50mm stroke and a male M22x1.5 rod end thread for direct load coupling. It uses PT3/8 ports and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this variant ships without a magnet; while the body retains sensor grooves, it will not trigger reed or solid-state switches without adding the -S option.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X50B Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a heavy machining fixture platform where the dual rods prevent yaw rotation during the 50mm clamping travel.
Symmetric Transfer
Transfers heavy automotive subassemblies between stations with equal 2267.8N push and pull forces for balanced cycle timing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second protruding rod end to drive a mechanical flag or secondary mechanism on a packaging line simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X50B the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, the smaller 63mm bore yields 1401.5N at 0.5 MPa, while the larger 100mm bore provides 3524.8N. This 80mm model is ideal when you need exactly 2267.8N of equal bidirectional force. If your application only requires a single pushing action with higher forward force, a standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is more efficient. If precise guided motion over a long span is required, consider a guided TACQ cylinder. Confirm your ordering code includes the B suffix for the male M22x1.5 thread and PT3/8 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 ACQD80X50B FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 2267.8N at 0.5 MPa and 3175N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum of 463 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push equals pull because the rod occupies both chambers, creating matching annular areas. The standard stroke limit for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold position when air is lost; the rod drifts and the bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
