Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80SB
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80SB 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 ACQD80X80SB
The AirTAC ACQD80X80SB is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring a Ø25 piston rod exiting both ends. Because a rod occupies both internal chambers, the annular area is identical in each direction, yielding equal push and pull force of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa. This symmetry is ideal for applications requiring consistent power on extension and retraction.
The twin rods inherently resist rotation and provide a long guide length, allowing you to mount a tool platform directly without adding an external anti-rotation guide. This SB configuration includes a male M22x1.5 rod end thread for direct load coupling and a built-in piston magnet for position sensing. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends, not adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80SB Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80SB |
|---|---|
| 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 ACQD80X80SB Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide machining fixture pusher plate where the dual rods prevent yaw and maintain precise parallelism under heavy lateral loading.
Symmetric Transfer
Executes equal-force advance and retract motions on a packaging line transfer arm, ensuring consistent cycle dynamics without force imbalance.
Dual-Station Actuation
Powers a dual-station assembly machine where the second rod end simultaneously drives a secondary mechanism or sensor flag.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X80SB the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore provides 2267.8N of thrust both ways at 0.5MPa. If your payload is lighter, the 63mm bore offers 1401.5N, while the larger 100mm bore yields 3524.8N for heavier demands. For tasks needing only unidirectional push force without the anti-rotation twin rods, a single-rod ACQ cylinder is a simpler alternative. When ordering the ACQD80X80SB, confirm your 80mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, and specify PT3/8 port threading along with the male M22x1.5 rod connection.
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 ACQD80X80SB FAQ
The ACQD80X80SB generates 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum load capacity of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are equal because the twin rods create identical annular piston areas on both sides. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends for impact absorption, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion. A plain ACQD does not hold position when air pressure is lost; if fail-safe load holding is required, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
