The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X10S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 10mm 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.
The AirTAC TACQ25X10S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder with a 25mm bore and 10mm stroke. It combines an ACQ body with two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate, driving and guiding a load in one unit to replace a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure non-rotating accuracy to ±0.15° and handle lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. This 25mm model features a 12mm rod, M5x0.8 port, and an integrated -S magnet for position sensing. It includes fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration. Do not exceed the maximum allowable reverse torque or mass/speed limits charted at 0.5 MPa; confirm exact values from the datasheet.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 50 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).

The guide plate replaces a separate rod-thread option. Related: ACQ (plain single rod), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Maintains precise angular alignment to ±0.15° during vertical component placement on PCB assembly lines.
Provides stable, wobble-free positioning for machine vision cameras inspecting small electronic modules.
Acts as a rigid, non-rotating gate to halt and hold workpieces on a packaging conveyor line.
For 245.4N push force at 0.5MPa, the TACQ25X10S fits medium-duty guiding tasks. If your load is lighter, step down to the 20mm bore (157.1N push); for heavier thrust, step up to the 32mm bore (402.1N push). Choose a plain ACQ if lateral load and anti-rotation are not required, or a double-rod ACQD if you need higher resistance to direct deflection. Confirm your ordering essentials: 25mm bore, 10mm stroke (max standard 50mm), -S magnet, and PT port. Always verify the lateral load and reverse-torque limits for your specific stroke from the datasheet.
Quick checklist
The 25mm bore provides 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5MPa, 343.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. The max standard stroke is 50mm. Two guide rods ensure non-rotating tolerance to ±0.15°.
The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Note that a plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
