Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X45 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 45mm 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 TACQ100X45
The TACQ100X45 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 100mm bore and 45mm stroke. Two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate ensure non-rotating accuracy within ±0.15°. This integrated design drives and guides heavy loads simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, as the rods add stiffness rather than thrust.
Operating at 0.15-1.0 MPa, it generates 3927N push and 3524.8N pull force at 0.5 MPa. The body incorporates magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends. To prevent mechanical damage, avoid exceeding the maximum allowable reverse torque and ensure any external force remains concentric with the rod.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X45 Is Used
Heavy Press Head
Drives a 100mm bore pressing head on an appliance assembly line, using the twin guide rods to maintain exact perpendicularity during heavy clamping operations.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a robust stopper gate for large material pallets on automotive conveyor lines, absorbing high lateral impact without rotating under asymmetrical loads.
Multi-Axis Pick-Place
Acts as the vertical Z-axis in a heavy-duty warehouse pick-and-place gantry, lifting substantial payloads while keeping the end effector perfectly aligned.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X45 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 100mm bore unit, stepping down to an 80mm cylinder reduces the 0.5 MPa push force to 2513.2N, while this TACQ100X45 provides 3927N. It represents the largest standard bore available. If your application only requires basic linear movement without lateral load resistance or anti-rotation, a plain ACQ cylinder is sufficient and more compact. For balanced drive from both sides, consider a double-rod ACQD. Verify your ordering essentials: 100mm bore, 45mm stroke (under the 100mm max), PT3/8 port, and no magnet. Always confirm the specific reverse-torque limit for your 45mm stroke from the datasheet, as it decreases with extended length.
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 TACQ100X45 FAQ
This 100mm bore cylinder generates 3927N push and 3524.8N pull force at 0.5 MPa, 5497.8N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 801kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, an M20x2.5 rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads a plain compact rod cannot. The maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length; for a 100mm bore, it is roughly 11.85N·m at 10mm down to 5.77N·m at 100mm, but you must confirm the exact 45mm value from the datasheet. This model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state sensors if needed.
