Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60SB 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 ACQD80X60SB
The AirTAC ACQD80X60SB is an 80mm JIS compact double-acting cylinder where a piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the effective annular area is identical in both directions, generating equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. The twin rods inherently resist rotation and provide an extended guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without needing an external anti-rotation guide.
This specific configuration includes the -S magnet for reed or solid-state electronic switches and the -B male M22x1.5 rod-end thread for direct load coupling. It features a Ø25mm rod, PT3/8 ports, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for end-of-stroke deceleration. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold position on air loss; if fail-safe load holding is required, an external rod lock or pilot check valve is necessary.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X60SB Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a precision machining fixture pusher where the dual rods prevent platform twisting under lateral cutting loads.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers a packaging line transfer arm with identical 2267.8N force in both directions for smooth part shuttling.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates a dual-station press in automotive assembly, using the second rod end to drive a sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X60SB the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore, stepping down to the 63mm version drops the bidirectional 0.5MPa force to 1401.5N, while stepping up to the 100mm bore raises it to 3524.8N. If your application only requires unidirectional push force and lacks space for twin rods, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is a better fit. For loads needing precision anti-rotation over long strokes, a guided TACQ cylinder might be preferred. To order the ACQD80X60SB, confirm the 60mm stroke, the S magnet option, and the B male M22x1.5 rod thread.
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 ACQD80X60SB FAQ
It provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The standard stroke limit for an 80mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and extend guide length without an external guide. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate impact at both ends, but for high energy loads an external shock absorber is recommended.
