Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 60mm 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 ACQD80X60
The AirTAC ACQD80X60 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 25mm piston rod protruding from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent bi-directional thrust without force imbalance.
The twin rods provide extended guide length and inherent anti-rotation properties, allowing you to mount a tooling platform directly without needing an external guide. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves for position detection, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, and the unit accepts PT3/8 pneumatic connections.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 60 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 ACQD80X60 Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Shuttle
Drives a reciprocating parts shuttle in automated assembly machinery, utilizing the equal push and pull forces to maintain consistent timing in both directions.
Twin-Guided Tooling Platform
Supports a machining or clamping fixture directly on the dual rods in a packaging line, leveraging the extended guide length to prevent torsion without external rails.
Dual-Station Actuator
Powers a dual-station indexing mechanism in material handling equipment, using the second rod end to drive a cam or sensor flag for synchronized station changes.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore provides robust thrust for heavier fixtures, delivering 2267.8N of equal force both ways at 0.5MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1401.5N, while moving up to a 100mm bore provides 3524.8N for higher load demands. A standard single-rod ACQ cylinder is preferable if you only need unidirectional thrust and want maximum forward power. For multi-axis stability without external guide rails, this double-rod configuration is optimal. Confirm your requirements for the 60mm stroke, female M16x2.0 rod-end threads, and PT3/8 porting when ordering.
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 ACQD80X60 FAQ
The ACQD80X60 provides 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 equals pull because the twin rods create identical annular areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm, the piston rod is 25mm, the port is PT3/8, and the female rod-end thread is M16x2.0.
Deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, which are not adjustable; for high kinetic energy loads, use an external shock absorber. A plain ACQD does not hold position if air pressure is lost, so for fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
