Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60B
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60B 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 ACQD80X60B
The AirTAC ACQD80X60B is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a 25mm piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical on extension and retraction, yielding perfectly equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. The twin rods resist rotation and provide a longer guide length, allowing you to carry a tool platform without needing a separate external guide.
This 80mm bore unit features a PT3/8 port and ships with a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) that couples directly to your load. It includes fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. The body retains magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0MPa, with a maximum speed of 30-500mm/s.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60B |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X60B Is Used
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Drives a dual-sided pick-and-place head in packaging machinery, using the equal push and pull forces to maintain balanced cycle dynamics without momentum drift.
Twin-Guided Pusher
Pushes heavy pallets on a conveyor line, relying on the two 25mm rods to prevent jaw rotation and eliminate the need for a bulky external guide rail.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate clamps simultaneously on a CNC machining center, using the second protruding rod end to drive a secondary mechanism or sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60B the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore with a 60mm stroke provides 2267.8N of thrust both ways. If you need less force, the 63mm bore yields 1401.5N at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to the 100mm bore gives 3524.8N. A single-rod ACQ cylinder is preferable if your application only requires unidirectional pushing and rotational stability is not a concern. For pure vertical lifting, remember that a plain ACQD does not hold its load on air loss; you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. Confirm your ordering essentials: this variant includes the male M22x1.5 thread and lacks a sensor magnet.
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 ACQD80X60B FAQ
The ACQD80X60B generates 2267.8N of force at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum physical capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are equal because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80mm bore is 100mm. This unit features a male M22x1.5 rod-end thread and a PT3/8 port.
The twin rods inherently resist rotation and double the guide length compared to a single-rod build. For deceleration, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends rather than adjustable air cushions; for high-energy loads, add an external shock absorber. This specific model ships without a piston magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for mounting reed or solid-state switches if you later install a magnet.
