In this work, curve pairs with stationary acceleration on the SE(3) group are investigated. Considering that the Frenet frame of a spatial curve represents the rotational component of the spatial motion, while the translational component corresponds to an arbitrary spatial curve, a curve on SE(3) is defined using these two components. Characterizations are provided for these curves to have a stationary acceleration. By employing specific special curves, such as the Salkowski curve, Euler spiral, Cornu spiral, and logarithmic spiral, it is demonstrated that a curve defined on SE(3) can possess stationary acceleration. Furthermore, when the Bishop frame is used instead of the Frenet frame, characterizations for curve pairs with stationary acceleration are also presented.
