Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 10mm stroke and two guide rods with a fixing plate. The twin guides hold the platform non-rotating to within ±0.15° and carry lateral load a plain compact rod cannot, so it drives and guides a load in one unit.

About the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10
The TACQ100X10 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 10mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. The platform achieves a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° while carrying lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot manage.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ unit of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927N push and 3524.8N pull force, scaling to 5497.8N push at 0.7 MPa with a maximum push capacity of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT3/8 port, an M20x2.5 female rod-end thread, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end. Note that this specific model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TACQ datasheet. Two guide rods carry lateral load and hold rotation to ±0.15°; do not apply reverse torque beyond the datasheet limit. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3525 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore — the guide rods add stiffness, not thrust. Keep moving mass and speed within the datasheet chart (rated at 0.5 MPa).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10 Is Used
Heavy Duty Press Head
Acts as a non-rotating press head on automotive stamping lines, handling high lateral loads during part forming operations.
Large Component Stopper
Serves as a robust stopper gate on heavy conveyor systems, using the twin guide rods to absorb significant side impacts.
Pallet Lift Station
Drives a lifting platform in packaging machinery, maintaining precise vertical alignment under heavy eccentric pallet weights.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore unit involves sizing against adjacent options: the 80mm bore yields 2513.2N push, while the 100mm offers 3927N push at 0.5 MPa, making it the top tier for heavy duty compact needs. If your application lacks lateral load or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder is more economical. For higher eccentric loads, a double-rod ACQD provides greater stability. Confirm your ordering essentials: 100mm bore, 10mm stroke (within the 100mm max), no magnet, and PT3/8 thread. Always verify the reverse torque and mass speed limits charted at 0.5 MPa, applying external force concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding the guide capacity.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Lateral load / non-rotation needed?
- ✓ Moving mass and speed within chart
- ✓ Drive force at your pressure
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ No reverse torque on the guide rods
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Do not apply reverse torque above the datasheet limit.
- check Apply external force concentric with the rod.
- check Keep mass × speed within the performance chart.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10 FAQ
This 100mm bore cylinder delivers 3927N push and 3524.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497.8N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, an M20x2.5 female rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to manage lateral loads, but maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke increases. Use the 0.5 MPa chart as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. The fixed NBR bumper decelerates near stroke end but does not hold the load on air loss; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
