Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80S 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 ACQD80X80S
The AirTAC ACQD80X80S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a twin-rod design where a piston rod exits both ends of the body. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, giving you exactly 2267.8N of thrust and pull at 0.5MPa, and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetric force profile is ideal for balanced, predictable cycles.
The dual Ø25mm rods inherently resist rotation and provide a longer guide length, allowing you to carry a tool platform without adding an external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Built with a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, it handles operating pressures from 0.15-1.0MPa. The -S option includes a piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80S |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X80S Is Used
Twin-Guided Tool Platform
Drives a machining fixture on a CNC loader, using the dual rods to maintain precise angular alignment without a separate external guide rail.
Symmetric Transfer Unit
Powers a packaging line transfer mechanism where equal push and pull forces ensure smooth, balanced bi-directional pallet shifting at 30-500 mm/s.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates two separate clamps on an automotive assembly press simultaneously, using the second protruding rod end to drive a secondary load.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 80mm bore generates 2267.8N of equal bidirectional force. Stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1401.5N, while the larger 100mm bore provides 3524.8N. If your application only needs one-sided push force and has space constraints, a single-rod ACQ may suffice. For heavier lateral loads requiring precision guidance, a guided TACQ cylinder fits better. To order, confirm the 80mm bore, 80mm stroke, -S magnet, PT3/8 port, 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 ACQD80X80S FAQ
It provides equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull are equal because the twin rods create the same annular area in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke for an 80mm bore is 100mm.
The -S piston magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches fitted into the body grooves. A plain ACQD does not hold its load if air is lost; the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
