Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø20mm 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 TACQ20X35
The AirTAC TACQ20X35 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 20 mm bore and 35 mm stroke. Two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate deliver a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, allowing the unit to drive and guide a payload simultaneously while handling lateral loads a plain rod cannot. This integrated design replaces a separate linear guide in space-constrained assemblies.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same size, as the twin rods add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull, rising to 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The body incorporates fixed elastomer TPU bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. It uses an M5x0.8 port and a 10 mm piston rod.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for small component transfer where the twin guide rods prevent platform rotation during vertical lifting and horizontal indexing.
Sensor Camera Slide
Provides stable linear positioning for vision system inspection heads, maintaining strict ±0.15° alignment without a separate linear guide.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a robust conveyor stopper, absorbing lateral side-loads from moving product while holding position firmly.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 20 mm bore unit, verify your thrust requirements against the 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. If less force is needed, a 16 mm bore provides 100.5 N push, whereas stepping up to a 25 mm bore offers 245.4 N push. This 35 mm stroke sits well within the 50 mm maximum for this bore. If your application involves pure axial extension without lateral loads or anti-rotation requirements, a standard plain ACQ cylinder is sufficient. Conversely, if equal push and pull forces on both sides are required, an ACQD double-rod cylinder is preferable. Confirm ordering essentials including the PT thread, and always check the reverse torque and mass limits charted at 0.5 MPa for your specific stroke.
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 TACQ20X35 FAQ
The TACQ20X35 delivers 157.1 N push and 117.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 219.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 32 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° and supports a maximum standard stroke of 50 mm.
The two stainless steel guide rods carry lateral loads but do not hold the load on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke (order-of-magnitude ~0.37 N·m at 5 mm down to ~0.16 N·m at 50 mm); confirm the exact value from the datasheet and ensure external force remains concentric with the rod.
