Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 15mm 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 TACQ25X15
The AirTAC TACQ25X15 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 15mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245.4N push and 188.9N pull force, with a 12mm piston rod and M5x0.8 port. The body includes fixed elastomer TPU bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives small gripper assemblies on electronics assembly lines while maintaining strict ±0.15° orientation during component transfers.
Sensor Slide
Positions vision cameras for PCB inspection, relying on the twin guide rods to prevent camera tilt and maintain focus.
Sorting Gate
Acts as a diverter stopper on packaging conveyors, absorbing side loads from passing cartons without deflecting.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to a 20mm bore yields 157.1N push @0.5 MPa, while moving up to a 32mm bore provides 402.1N push @0.5 MPa. Choose this 25mm bore if your 245.4N requirement fits and the 15mm stroke is within the 50mm maximum for this series. A plain ACQ is sufficient if no lateral load or anti-rotation is needed, or an ACQD double-rod if symmetrical force is required. Confirm ordering essentials like PT thread, and verify your mass and speed limits against the 0.5 MPa charts. Always ensure external force is concentric with the rod.
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 TACQ25X15 FAQ
The 25mm bore generates 245.4N push and 188.9N pull @0.5 MPa, 343.6N push @0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 50 kgf @1.0 MPa. The standard stroke limit is 50mm, and the non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods absorb lateral loads. A maximum allowable reverse torque exists and decreases with stroke extension; treat values as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. Never apply reverse torque above this limit.
