Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5B 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 ACQD80X5B
The AirTAC ACQD80X5B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical on both sides, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This 80mm bore unit handles up to 463kgf at 1.0MPa, providing substantial symmetric thrust in a short 5mm stroke.
The dual-rod architecture inherently resists rotation and extends guide length, allowing a tool platform to mount directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide. It features fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. This specific configuration includes a male M22x1.5 piston rod end for direct load coupling and utilizes PT3/8 ports. Note that this unit ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for external switch mounting.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X5B Is Used
Twin-Guided Short Press
Provides stable, non-rotating 2267.8N pressing force for stamping small bearings in an electric motor assembly line, using the second rod end to mount a mechanical stop flag.
Symmetric Transfer Gate
Drives a diverter flap on packaging machinery where identical push and pull forces ensure consistent bi-directional actuation speed without twisting the gate mechanism.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a two-sided clamping fixture on a machining center, using the twin rods to drive two work-holding jaws simultaneously from a single compact 80mm body.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5B the Right Cylinder?
For a 5mm stroke, the ACQD80X5B provides massive short-stroke thrust. If you need less force, the 63mm bore variant offers 1401.5N at 0.5MPa; stepping up to the 100mm bore yields 3524.8N at 0.5MPa. Choose this double-rod model when symmetric push/pull cycles and anti-rotation are required. If your application only requires a simple push with higher forward force, a single-rod ACQ cylinder might suffice. If precise guided motion over a longer span is needed, a guided TACQ cylinder is recommended. Confirm this ACQD80X5B configuration includes the male M22x1.5 rod thread and lacks the -S magnet option.
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 ACQD80X5B FAQ
The ACQD80X5B delivers equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum force of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods create equal annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
This model uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centered; the rod will drift. For fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
