Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30S 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 TACQ100X30S
The AirTAC TACQ100X30S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100 mm bore and 30 mm stroke. It integrates twin chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to prevent rotation to a ±0.15° tolerance. This design carries lateral loads that a plain rod cannot, replacing a separate linear guide by driving and guiding in one unit.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. Apply external forces concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding the allowable reverse torque.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30S Is Used
Heavy Press Assembly
Applies 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa to seat bearings in automotive machining lines, using the twin guide rods to maintain strict parallelism under offset loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Halts heavy workpiece pallets on a packaging conveyor; the chromed guide rods absorb the lateral impact without bending the primary piston rod.
Large Component Lift
Raises bulky injection-molded parts from a machine exit station with a ±0.15° non-rotating precision, ensuring parts do not twist during the 30 mm lift.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X30S the Right Cylinder?
This 100 mm bore generates 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to an 80 mm bore yields 2513 N push, while 100 mm is the largest standard size in this series. Choose a plain ACQ if lateral load support is unnecessary, or a double-rod ACQD if higher torsional resistance is required. Confirm ordering essentials: 100 mm bore, 30 mm stroke (max standard 100 mm), PT3/8 port, M20x2.5 rod thread, and the -S magnet. Always verify the reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet for your specific load.
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 TACQ100X30S FAQ
It 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. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The stroke is 30 mm, well within the 100 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. The two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral loads, but there is a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases with stroke length (order-of-magnitude ~5.77 to ~11.85 N·m for this bore); confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and keep external forces concentric with the rod.
