Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X15S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 15mm 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 TACQ100X15S
The AirTAC TACQ100X15S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 15mm stroke. Two chromed carbon steel guide rods paired with a fixing plate drive and guide your load simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear guide. The platform maintains a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position. Drive force equals a standard ACQ of this bore, as the twin rods add structural stiffness rather than thrust. The included S magnet enables position sensing.
This unit pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the PT3/8 port accommodates high flow. Remember that a standard ACQ body will not hold a load if air pressure drops; install an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X15S Is Used
Press Assembly Head
Drives a heavy stamping head on an automotive line, using the twin chromed rods to absorb lateral offset and maintain precise vertical alignment.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a robust stopper gate for heavy industrial pallets, preventing platform rotation during high-load impact events.
Large Component Pick-Place
Transfers bulky packaging modules between conveyors, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance ensures grippers engage without skewing.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X15S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 100mm bore involves sizing both directions: dropping to an 80mm bore yields 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while this 100mm unit provides 3927 N. If your application only requires simple axial movement without lateral load resistance or anti-rotation, a plain ACQ cylinder is more economical. Conversely, applications needing equal push and pull forces should use a double-rod ACQD. When ordering the TACQ100X15S, confirm the 15mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify the S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and verify PT threads. Always ensure external loads are applied concentric with the rod, and confirm the reverse torque limit from the datasheet, as exceeding it can damage the guide rods.
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 TACQ100X15S FAQ
This 100mm bore cylinder pushes with 3927 N and pulls with 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 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, a 32mm piston rod, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to bear lateral loads a plain compact rod cannot. There is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit charted at 0.5 MPa that decreases with stroke length; treat these as order-of-magnitude values and confirm the exact limits from the datasheet. End cushioning uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, so for high kinetic energy add an external shock absorber. The S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches.
