Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 30mm 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 TACQ100X30
The AirTAC TACQ100X30 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. Two chromed carbon steel guide rods integrated with a fixing plate ensure precise non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. This structural design carries lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot withstand, allowing the unit to drive and guide a payload simultaneously, thereby replacing a separate linear guide.
Thrust output equals that of a standard ACQ body, as the guide shafts contribute stiffness rather than additional piston area. The assembly yields a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. A maximum allowable reverse torque and specific mass-speed limits apply, both charted at 0.5 MPa, decreasing as stroke length increases.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30 Is Used
Press Staking
Drives a heavy stamping die on an automotive assembly line, relying on the twin chromed rods to absorb substantial lateral reaction forces without deflection.
Pallet Stopper
Acts as a heavy-duty halt mechanism for large industrial pallets, utilizing the 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa to arrest momentum securely.
Component Insertion
Pushes large electric motor housings into fixtures, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance guarantees perfectly straight seating during heavy-duty assembly.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100 mm bore involves comparing its 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa against adjacent sizes: the 80 mm bore yields 2513.2 N, while no larger standard TACQ exists, making this the top thrust choice. If lateral deflection is not a concern, a plain ACQ100 offers equivalent drive power in a lighter footprint. For symmetrical pushing from two sides, a double-rod ACQD series is superior. When ordering, verify the 30 mm stroke is within the 100 mm maximum, specify PT3/8 porting, and note this unit ships without a magnet (-S suffix omitted). Always cross-check your lateral load and reverse torque against the official datasheet, applying external force concentric with the rod to prevent guide bushing wear.
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 TACQ100X30 FAQ
This 100 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, an M20x2.5 female rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm.
End-of-travel deceleration is managed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions; for high kinetic energy, add an external shock absorber. The unit does not hold its load on air loss, so an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve is required for fail-safe holding. A maximum allowable reverse torque exists and decreases with stroke length—treat the ~5.77 to 11.85 N·m range as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet.
