Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X90S
The AirTAC Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X90S is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø80mm bore and 90mm 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 ACQD80X90S
The AirTAC ACQD80X90S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder featuring twin rods that exit both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 2267.8N at 0.5MPa. This symmetric thrust is ideal for balanced, repetitive cycling.
Twin Ø25mm rods resist torsion and extend guiding length, eliminating the need for a separate external anti-rotation guide. The second rod end can drive a sensor flag or a secondary load. Fitted with a piston magnet (-S), it supports reed or solid-state switches in the body grooves. NBR elastomer bumpers fixed at both ends absorb end-of-stroke impact without requiring adjustable air cushions.
Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X90S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X90S |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø80 mm |
| Stroke | 90 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 ACQD80X90S Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a wide machining fixture platen in an automotive stamping line, leveraging the dual rods to prevent torsion under offset cutting forces.
Symmetric Transfer
Indexes heavy pallets on a packaging conveyor, using the equal bidirectional 2267.8N force to ensure smooth, balanced advance and retract motions.
Dual-Station Actuation
Actuates clamps on a multi-station CNC mill where the secondary rod end mounts a physical sensor flag to confirm exact stroke completion.
Is the Airtac ACQD Double Acting Compact Cylinder ACQD80X90S the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5MPa, this 80mm bore provides 2267.8N of thrust both ways; stepping up to the 100mm bore yields 3524.8N, while dropping to the 63mm bore offers 1401.5N. If your application only needs unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ is more compact. For heavy lateral loads, a guided TACQ might be required. Verify your porting (PT3/8) and the default female M16x2.0 rod-end threads 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 ACQD80X90S FAQ
The cylinder generates 2267.8N at 0.5MPa and 3175N at 0.7MPa, with a maximum thrust of 463kgf at 1.0MPa. Push and pull forces are equal because the twin rods create identical annular areas in both chambers. The maximum standard stroke available for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
The dual-rod design inherently resists rotation and provides extra guide length. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions. A plain ACQD does not hold position if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe load holding, you must install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
