Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5S 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 ACQD80X5S
The AirTAC ACQD80X5S is a JIS compact double-acting cylinder engineered with twin Ø25mm rods exiting both ends. This symmetrical annular design yields identical push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, ensuring perfectly balanced bi-directional motion. The dual-rod architecture inherently resists torsion and extends guiding length, eliminating the need for an external anti-rotation guide while supporting a secondary load or sensor flag on the opposite end.
Built for robust performance, this bore 80 unit features PT3/8 ports and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact energy. The integrated -S piston magnet pairs seamlessly with reed or solid-state electronic switches via the body grooves. Operating efficiently between 0.15-1.0MPa at speeds of 30-500mm/s, it provides a maximum holding capacity of 463kgf. Note that for fail-safe load retention upon air loss, an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock is required, as the bumper only decelerates near the stroke extremes.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X5S Is Used
Twin-Guided Stamping Press
Provides stable, non-rotating downward force for precision metal stamping in automotive component manufacturing, utilizing the second rod end for a mechanical ejector.
Symmetric Transfer Diverter
Drives a dual-sided diverter arm on packaging conveyor lines, ensuring parallel actuation without skewing heavy goods during lane switching.
Dual-Station Clamping Fixture
Actuates a synchronized clamping mechanism on CNC machining centers, using equal push and pull forces to secure workpieces from both ends simultaneously.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X5S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore model, compare its 2267.8N force at 0.5MPa with the adjacent 63mm bore (1401.5N) or the larger 100mm bore (3524.8N) to match your exact symmetrical push/pull requirements. If your application only requires unidirectional force or lacks space for twin rods, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is more appropriate. For applications demanding longer strokes or higher precision guidance than the 100mm standard maximum, a guided TACQ module provides superior lateral load support. To order the ACQD80X5S, confirm the 5mm stroke, the default female M16x2.0 rod-end thread, PT3/8 port size, and the -S magnet option for electronic or reed switch integration.
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 ACQD80X5S FAQ
The ACQD80X5S provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum holding capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the twin rods occupy both chambers, creating equal annular areas. The standard stroke maximum is 100mm, operating pressure is 0.15-1.0MPa, and the proof pressure is 1.5MPa.
It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb impact energy; it is not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads. The -S option includes a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches, which mount directly into the cylinder body grooves. The twin rods prevent rotation without needing an external guide.
