Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80 is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 80mm 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 ACQD80X80
The AirTAC ACQD80X80 is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a 25mm rod extending from both ends. Because both chambers share the same annular piston area, it generates identical push and pull thrust of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric force profile is ideal for operations requiring consistent bi-directional motion.
The dual rods inherently resist torsion and provide an extended guide length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a piston magnet.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80 |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 80 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 ACQD80X80 Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide machining fixture pusher plate in CNC milling centers, using both rod ends to maintain strict parallelism under heavy lateral loads.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Powers a balanced parts transfer shuttle in automated assembly machinery, leveraging equal push and pull forces for consistent cycle timing.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two synchronized clamping stations simultaneously from a single compact body in automotive component fabrication lines.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80 the Right Cylinder?
Delivering up to 463kgf at 1.0MPa, this 80mm bore unit sits between the 63mm bore (1401.5N at 0.5MPa) and the 100mm bore (3524.8N at 0.5MPa). If your application only requires force in one direction, a single-rod ACQ series cylinder may provide a lighter, more space-efficient solution. For applications needing precise non-rotating guidance over longer spans, a guided TACQ cylinder might be a better fit. To order, confirm the 80mm stroke, PT3/8 port size, and the default female M16x2.0 rod-end 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 ACQD80X80 FAQ
The ACQD80X80 provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum thrust of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are identical because the double-rod design creates the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
The twin rods resist rotation and extend guide length without needing external guides. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. Note that a plain ACQD does not hold position on air loss; you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding.
