Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X100S 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 TACQ100X100S
The AirTAC TACQ100X100S 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 an external linear guide. The platform restricts rotation to a tight ±0.15° tolerance and safely carries lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of identical bore size, meaning the guide rods contribute stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 3927N of push force and 3524.8N of pull force, utilizing a PT3/8 port and an M20x2.5 female rod-end thread. End-of-travel deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, and the pre-installed magnet supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches.

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 TACQ100X100S Is Used
Heavy Press Assembly
Drives large automotive subcomponents into housings on an assembly line, using the twin guide rods to absorb pressing reaction torque without twisting.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stop mechanism for heavy pallets on a packaging conveyor, maintaining precise vertical alignment under high lateral impact.
Large Panel Handling
Transfers bulky electronics or machine panels between processing stations, ensuring the load remains perfectly flat and non-rotating during transit.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore unit, consider the adjacent options: the 80mm bore yields 2513.2N push, while there is no larger standard bore in this series. If your application only requires straightforward axial movement without lateral load or anti-rotation, a plain ACQ cylinder saves space and weight. For higher eccentric load capacity, a double-rod ACQD might be required. Ensure your ordering essentials are correct: 100mm bore, 100mm stroke (the maximum standard for this size), the S magnet option, and PT thread. Always verify the mass and speed limits, and confirm the specific reverse torque limit for your stroke from the official datasheet to prevent mechanical failure.
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 TACQ100X100S FAQ
It 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. The port is PT3/8, the rod-end thread is M20x2.5, and the non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. It does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. The max reverse torque decreases with stroke length (roughly 11.85 N·m at 10mm down to 5.77 N·m at 100mm) and you must confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. Always apply external force concentric with the rod.
