Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15S 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 TACQ25X15S
The AirTAC TACQ25X15S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25 mm bore and 15 mm 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 architecture ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and provides the lateral load capacity a plain compact rod lacks.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 245.4 N of push force and 188.9 N of pull force, requiring 343.6 N at 0.7 MPa. The unit features a fixed elastomer bumper, an M5x0.8 port, and an M6x1.0 rod-end thread. The built-in magnet (-S) supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches.

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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Keeps small electronic component grippers perfectly aligned during vertical placement moves without twisting.
Sensor Slide
Positions inspection cameras smoothly on packaging lines, relying on the lateral load support of the dual rods.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid physical stop for incoming workpieces on assembly conveyors, resisting deflection from side impacts.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X15S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore guided actuator, compare it against adjacent bores: a 20 mm variant yields 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 32 mm unit provides 402.1 N. If your application lacks lateral loads or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ saves space; if you need force from both sides, consider a double-rod ACQD. To order the TACQ25X15S correctly, verify the 15 mm stroke is within the 50 mm maximum, specify the magnet suffix S, and confirm the PT thread. Always check the mass and speed limits plus the allowable reverse torque charted at 0.5 MPa, ensuring external forces remain 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 TACQ25X15S FAQ
It delivers 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for the 25 mm bore is 50 mm.
No, a standard ACQ-type body does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Also, do not exceed the maximum allowable reverse torque, which decreases with stroke length—confirm the exact value from the official datasheet.
