Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X35
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X35 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 35mm 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 TACQ100X35
The AirTAC TACQ100X35 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 35mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and support a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. This non-rotating design holds a strict ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same size, as the twin rods add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N of push force and 3524.8 N of pull force, peaking at 801 kgf under 1.0 MPa. The unit uses a PT3/8 port, a Ø32mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. Note that this specific configuration ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves for electronic or reed sensors if retrofitted later.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X35 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa for seating bearings or stamping components on automated machinery, relying on the twin guide rods to resist off-center loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopper arm on high-mass conveyor lines, using the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy to hold heavy workpieces securely without lateral deflection.
Large Fixture Clamping
Secures oversized fixtures or pallets during machining or welding, where the chromed carbon steel guide rods maintain strict alignment under significant lateral stress.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X35 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore unit involves sizing against adjacent options: a bore 80 provides 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, while no larger standard bore exists in this series. If your application requires pure thrust without lateral load resistance, a plain ACQ saves space and weight. For equal force on extension and retraction, an ACQD double-rod format is superior. When ordering this TACQ100X35, confirm the 35mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, verify the PT thread requirement, and account for the missing magnet if position sensing is needed. Always ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod to avoid binding. Check the charted reverse torque limit at 0.5 MPa for your specific stroke—values decrease with extension, so confirm the exact figure from the datasheet and never exceed it.
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 TACQ100X35 FAQ
This 100mm bore cylinder generates 3927 N push and 3524.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 5497.8 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push force of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The standard stroke limit for this bore is 100mm, and this specific model has a 35mm stroke.
The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at stroke ends, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy impacts. It does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning. The two chromed guide rods resist lateral loads, but maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length—consult the datasheet to confirm the exact limit for your setup and ensure applied forces remain concentric with the rod.
