Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X25S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X25S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 25mm 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 TACQ100X25S
The AirTAC TACQ100X25S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder upgraded with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a rigid fixing plate. This configuration secures the platform against rotation to a strict ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position. It replaces a separate linear guide by driving and stabilizing heavy loads simultaneously within a single unit.
Drive output equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the twin rods contribute stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa it generates 3927 N of push force and 3524.8 N of pull force, peaking at 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. The integrated -S piston magnet pairs with reed or solid-state switches, while fixed NBR bumpers absorb impact energy at stroke ends.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X25S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Press Head
Drives a 100 mm bore pressing assembly for automotive component insertion, utilizing the massive 5497.8 N thrust at 0.7 MPa while the twin rods maintain precise alignment.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopping mechanism on a conveyor line, leveraging the chromed guide rods to absorb severe lateral impacts from moving pallets without rotating.
Large Panel Pick-Place
Lifts and transfers heavy sheet metal or composite panels in an assembly cell, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance prevents part yaw during high-speed transit.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X25S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore with a 25 mm stroke provides massive thrust for compact spaces. If your application requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore drops the 0.5 MPa push to 2513.2 N, whereas a 100 mm unit already sits at the top of this series with an 801 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. For applications needing equal force in both directions without lateral guidance, a standard ACQ or a double-rod ACQD may fit better. Confirm ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 25 mm stroke (within the 100 mm max), PT3/8 port, M20x2.5 rod-end thread, and the -S magnet. Always verify the specific mass and speed limits plus the reverse torque constraint from the datasheet, ensuring any external load remains 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 TACQ100X25S FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder features a PT3/8 port and delivers a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 5497.8 N, with a maximum push capacity of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches. The unit uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions. The two chromed carbon steel guide rods handle lateral loads, but there is a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases as stroke length increases; always confirm the exact torque limit from the official datasheet and do not apply reverse torque above this threshold.
