Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10S 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 TACQ100X10S
The AirTAC TACQ100X10S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This configuration drives and guides a load simultaneously, replacing a separate linear guide while maintaining a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position. It handles substantial lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot support.
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 push and 3524.8 N pull, scaling to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit features a PT3/8 port, an M20x2.5 female rod-end thread, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers. The integrated -S magnet supports both reed and solid-state switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 5497.8 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa for seating bearings or stamping components on automated machining centers, utilizing the fixed NBR bumpers to absorb end-of-stroke impact.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopper mechanism on high-mass material handling lines, where the twin chromed guide rods safely absorb the significant lateral momentum of moving pallets.
Heavy Fixture Indexing
Shifts heavy machining fixtures precisely without rotational drift, leveraging the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to maintain strict alignment during automated transfer.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X10S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke provides massive thrust within a compact footprint, strictly observing the 100 mm maximum standard stroke limit. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa; conversely, this 100 mm unit represents the maximum thrust tier available in the TACQ series. A plain ACQ fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation guidance is needed, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust. Confirm ordering essentials: bore, stroke, -S magnet, and PT thread. Critically, verify the allowable reverse torque—approximately 11.85 N·m at 10 mm but decreasing with longer strokes—against the datasheet, and ensure external forces remain 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 TACQ100X10S FAQ
This double-acting guided cylinder delivers 3927 N push and 3524.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 5497.8 N 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 rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The standard stroke limit for this 100 mm bore is 100 mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches. The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads a plain rod cannot. However, maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length—approximately 11.85 N·m at 10 mm—so you must confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and never apply reverse torque above this threshold. Apply external force concentric with the rod to prevent guide damage.
