Airtac B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B
The AirTAC Airtac B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B is a genuine double-acting COMPACT (JIS) cylinder with a piston rod out BOTH ends — a Ø40mm 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 B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B
The B01-ACQD40X80B is an AirTAC JIS compact, double-acting cylinder where a piston rod protrudes from both ends. Because a rod occupies each chamber, the annular area is identical in both directions, yielding equal push and pull forces of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa. The leading B01- prefix marks this as an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the base ACQD40X80B, sharing the exact same physical specs and sizing.
Twin rods resist rotation and add guide length, letting you carry a small tool platform without an external guide. This unit features a male M14x1.5 rod-end thread (-B) for direct load coupling, a PT1/8 port, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends. Body grooves accept reed or solid-state switches, though this specific SKU ships without a magnet.
Airtac B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B |
|---|---|
| Series | ACQD JIS compact double-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Stroke | 80 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, double rod |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod end thread | M8×1.25 female / M14×1.5 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 (Ø40mm — equal both ways)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 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 B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B Is Used
Twin-Guided Pusher
Drives a machining fixture platform where the dual rods prevent torsional deflection during part clamping.
Symmetric Transfer
Powers an equal-force pick-and-place transfer unit in electronics assembly, ensuring identical push and pull dynamics.
Dual-Station Actuation
Uses the second rod end to trigger a solid-state sensor flag on a packaging line while driving the primary load.
Is the Airtac B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B the Right Cylinder?
Providing 527.8 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa, this 40mm bore sits between the 32mm (301.6 N) and 50mm (824.6 N) sizes. If your application only requires unidirectional thrust, a single-rod ACQ offers greater forward output. For multi-axis guidance over longer strokes, a guided TACQ might fit better. When ordering, confirm the 80mm stroke, PT1/8 porting, and the male M14x1.5 thread. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
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 B01-ACQD Special Cylinder B01-ACQD40X80B FAQ
It generates equal push and pull forces of 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa and 738.9 N at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum capacity of 108 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Push equals pull because the rod occupies both chambers, creating identical annular areas. The standard stroke limit for this 40mm bore is 100mm.
The B01- prefix designates an application-dedicated, customer-specified variant of the standard ACQD40X80B, remaining mechanically identical to the base model. Instead of adjustable air cushions, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to decelerate the load.
