Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35S 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 TACQ20X35S
The AirTAC TACQ20X35S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 20mm bore and 35mm stroke. Twin stainless steel guide rods paired with a fixing plate deliver a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. This integrated drive-and-guide assembly replaces a separate linear guide, carrying lateral payloads that a standard plain rod cannot support.
Drive thrust equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than force. At 0.5 MPa it yields 157.1N push and 117.8N pull, reaching 219.9N push at 0.7 MPa, with a 32 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. The included S magnet enables position detection using either reed or solid-state switches, while fixed TPU elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impacts.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a small gripper on an electronics assembly line, using the twin guide rods to maintain exact vertical alignment without rotational drift during component placement.
Sensor Slide
Positions a machine vision camera over a moving conveyor, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to keep the lens perfectly level for consistent image capture.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a pneumatic stop on a packaging conveyor, absorbing side impacts from incoming workpieces while holding its position rigidly via the dual stainless rods.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ20X35S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 20mm bore involves sizing against its neighbours: a 16mm unit offers 100.5N push, whereas a 25mm provides 245.4N at 0.5 MPa. If your payload lacks lateral moment or twisting forces, a plain ACQ saves space and cost; conversely, heavy symmetrical thrust needs a double-rod ACQD. For the TACQ20X35S, confirm the 35mm stroke is within the 50mm maximum, specify the PT port thread, and verify your mass and reverse torque stay within charted limits. Always apply external force concentric with the rod to prevent guide binding.
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 TACQ20X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa the push force is 157.1N and pull is 117.8N; at 0.7 MPa push is 219.9N, with a 32 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke for a 20mm bore is 50mm. Its twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends; for a 20mm bore it is roughly 0.37 N·m at 5mm down to 0.16 N·m at 50mm, but always confirm the exact figure from the datasheet. The S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
