Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60S 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 ACQD80X60S
The AirTAC ACQD80X60S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder where a Ø25mm piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, yielding exactly 2267.8N of force at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa on both the push and pull strokes. This equal-force symmetry is ideal for applications requiring identical extending and retracting dynamics.
The twin rods provide a longer guide length and inherent torsional resistance, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing a separate anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The -S option includes a piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches, and the PT3/8 port ensures robust airflow for this 80mm bore.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X60S Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a machining fixture pusher where the dual rods keep the clamping plate perfectly parallel under heavy lateral loads.
Symmetric Transfer
Moves parts between two processing stations in a semiconductor handling line, using the second rod end to mount a synchronization flag.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a packaging machine sealing head that requires identical force extending and retracting to maintain consistent seal timing.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 80mm bore generates 2267.8N both ways. If your load is lighter, the 63mm bore provides 1401.5N, whereas the 100mm bore offers 3524.8N for heavier demands. Choose a single-rod ACQ if you only need standard extension and want a smaller footprint. For tasks demanding precise multi-axis guidance, a guided TACQ table cylinder might be a better fit. Confirm you need the 60mm stroke, the M16x2.0 female rod-end thread, and the PT3/8 port 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 ACQD80X60S FAQ
It delivers an equal push and pull force of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for an 80mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist torsion and extend the guide length so you can mount a tool directly without an external guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions, so add an external shock absorber for high-energy loads.
