Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X40S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 40mm 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 TACQ100X40S
The AirTAC TACQ100X40S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 40mm stroke. It combines a standard ACQ body with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This integration drives and guides your load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide while carrying heavy lateral loads.
Drive force matches a standard ACQ of the same diameter, yielding 3927N push and 3524.8N pull at 0.5MPa. The twin rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position. Equipped with a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end, it absorbs impact without adjustable air cushions. The pre-installed -S magnet enables position sensing using either reed or solid-state electronic switches.

| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
Specifications follow the official AirTAC TACQ datasheet. Two guide rods carry lateral load and hold rotation to ±0.15°; do not apply reverse torque beyond the datasheet limit. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3525 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 801 kgf | |
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore — the guide rods add stiffness, not thrust. Keep moving mass and speed within the datasheet chart (rated at 0.5 MPa).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X40S Is Used
Heavy Press Head
Drives a 100mm bore pressing head in automotive component assembly, using the twin rods to resist off-center loads and prevent plate rotation.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopper gate on heavy-duty material handling conveyors, relying on the lateral load capacity to halt large pallets securely.
Large Component Lift
Raises and lowers heavy industrial machine guards, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance maintains precise vertical alignment without external linear rails.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X40S the Right Cylinder?
For 0.5MPa applications needing less push, the Ø80 bore provides 2513.2N, making the TACQ100X40S the correct choice when requiring 3927N of thrust. If higher force is demanded, no larger standard bore exists in this series. When lateral stability and anti-rotation are unnecessary, a plain ACQ100X40S fits better. Verify your stroke does not exceed the 100mm maximum. Confirm the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, as these decrease with stroke length. Ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod to prevent guide damage.
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 TACQ100X40S FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 3927N push and 3524.8N pull force, reaching 5497.8N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push of 801kgf at 1.0MPa. 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 100mm bore is 100mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and solid-state electronic switches. The twin chromed guide rods handle lateral loads, but there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit charted at 0.5MPa that decreases with stroke length. You must confirm the exact reverse torque limit from the datasheet and never apply external torque above this threshold.
