Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X20S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 20mm 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 TACQ25X20S
The AirTAC TACQ25X20S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 20mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate, allowing the unit to drive and guide a load simultaneously. This design replaces a separate linear guide, carrying lateral loads that a standard compact rod cannot handle. The non-rotating tolerance is strictly held to ±0.15°.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, push force is 245.4 N and pull is 188.9 N. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves compatible with reed or electronic solid-state sensors via the built-in -S magnet. Deceleration is handled by a fixed elastomer bumper at each end, and the M5x0.8 port is standard.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X20S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for mounting small grippers on packaging machines where precise vertical movement and zero rotation are critical for component alignment.
Sensor Slide
Moves a vision camera or inspection probe across a conveyor belt, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance for consistent image capture.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a lightweight flow-control stop on assembly lines, using the twin guide rods to absorb side impacts from incoming work carriers.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X20S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25mm bore unit, consider the neighboring bores: a 20mm provides 157.1 N push, while a 32mm offers 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application lacks lateral load or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder is more economical. For higher eccentric loads, a double-rod ACQD might be required. Confirm your ordering essentials: 25mm bore, 20mm stroke (within the 50mm maximum), the -S magnet option, and PT thread. Always verify the mass and speed limits, and ensure any applied external force remains concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding the reverse torque limit.
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 TACQ25X20S FAQ
The drive force matches a standard ACQ: 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 hold non-rotating tolerance to ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this 25mm bore is 50mm.
The two stainless steel guide rods and fixing plate allow it to carry lateral loads a plain rod cannot. However, there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5 MPa) that decreases with stroke. Treat published reverse torque values as an order-of-magnitude guide only and confirm the exact limit for your bore and stroke from the datasheet.
