Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X50S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø100mm bore, 50mm 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 TACQ100X50S
The AirTAC TACQ100X50S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate with a standard ACQ body. By driving and guiding in one unit, it replaces a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing heavy lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot withstand.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. This 100mm bore unit features a PT3/8 port, an M20x2.5 female rod-end thread, and a 32mm piston rod. It includes a fixed elastomer NBR bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and a built-in magnet (-S) for position sensing. Do not exceed the maximum allowable reverse torque or mass/speed limits charted at 0.5 MPa; confirm exact values from the datasheet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X50S Is Used
Heavy Press Assembly
Drives a large pneumatic press head for heavy-duty automotive component seating, utilizing the twin guide rods to prevent platen twist under offset loads.
Multi-Spindle Drilling
Feeds a multi-spindle drill block on woodworking machinery, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to maintain precise cutter alignment.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a robust stopper gate for heavy pallets on a packaging line, absorbing high lateral impact forces without side deflection.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ100X50S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore model provides a push force of 3927 N and a pull force of 3524.8 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, consider scaling down to the 80mm bore (2513.2 N push @0.5 MPa). As 100mm is the largest available bore in this series, exceeding this thrust requirement necessitates a different cylinder architecture. A plain ACQ fits applications without lateral loads, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust needs. Confirm ordering essentials: 100mm bore, 50mm stroke (max 100mm), S magnet, and PT3/8 thread. Always verify lateral load and reverse torque limits, applying external force 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 TACQ100X50S FAQ
This 100mm bore cylinder provides 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 maximum standard stroke is 100mm. Twin guide rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods carry lateral loads but have a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases with stroke length (order-of-magnitude 5.77 to 11.85 N·m); always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and do not exceed it. The built-in -S magnet works with both reed and electronic solid-state switches for position detection.
