Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X100
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X100 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 100mm 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 TACQ100X100
The AirTAC TACQ100X100 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 100mm 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 twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position while supporting lateral loads that a standard plain-rod cylinder cannot manage.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it provides 3927 N of push force and 3524.8 N of pull force, peaking at 801 kgf under 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT3/8 port, features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration, and operates with an input speed range of 30-500 mm/s. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X100 Is Used
Heavy Press Assembly
Drives a large press head for bearing insertion in automotive machining lines, using the twin rods to resist off-center loads and maintain precise vertical alignment.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty stop on packaging conveyors, absorbing the impact of incoming pallets while the guide rods prevent the plate from twisting under high lateral momentum.
Multi-Point Clamping Fixture
Secures large composite molds in aerospace fabrication, holding the part flat against side forces without requiring an external linear guide rail.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore unit, consider the adjacent Ø80 option if your required push force at 0.5 MPa is below 2513.2 N, as it offers a lighter mass. If 3927 N is insufficient, no larger bore exists in this series, so you must parallel multiple units or switch series. A plain ACQ fits better if your load rides on external rails and only needs straight thrust without anti-rotation. An ACQD double-rod cylinder is preferable when you need symmetrical force or a centered work point. Confirm ordering essentials: 100mm bore, 100mm stroke (the maximum standard for this size), PT thread, and no magnet suffix. Always verify your lateral load and reverse torque limits against the 0.5 MPa charts, and ensure any external force is applied concentric with the rod.
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 TACQ100X100 FAQ
This 100mm bore, 100mm stroke cylinder provides 3927 N push and 3524.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods hold a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° at the retracted position. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads a plain rod cannot. However, the maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke length increases. For this 100mm stroke, the reverse torque is in the order of 5.77 N·m. Always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet, do not exceed the mass/speed chart at 0.5 MPa, and apply external force concentric with the rod.
