Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X25 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 25mm 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 TACQ25X25
The AirTAC TACQ25X25 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and a 25mm stroke. It integrates twin stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and support a payload simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. The platform restricts rotation to a tight ±0.15° tolerance, providing stability that a standard plain rod cannot achieve.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of equivalent size, as the guides contribute stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 245.4 N of push force and 188.9 N of pull force, peaking at a 50 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. The unit incorporates fixed TPU elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a sensor magnet.

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 TACQ25X25 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for mounting small grippers in electronics assembly, where the twin rods maintain strict ±0.15° alignment during rapid vertical part placement.
Sensor Slide
Positions machine vision cameras onto PCB inspection stations without deflection, replacing a bulkier external linear guide.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a robust physical stop on packaging lines, absorbing side impacts while holding its locked position accurately.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X25 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 25mm bore involves sizing against its neighbors: a 20mm option yields 157.1 N push, while a 32mm provides 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application lacks lateral loads or rotational resistance needs, a plain ACQ body saves space and cost. Conversely, demanding symmetrical thrust might require a double-rod ACQD. When ordering, confirm the 25mm stroke is within the 50mm maximum, specify the PT thread, and add the S suffix if position detection is needed. Always ensure external forces remain 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 TACQ25X25 FAQ
This 25mm bore cylinder provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an M5x0.8 port, a maximum standard stroke of 50mm, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods allow it to bear lateral loads that would damage a standard compact piston. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends; treat the charted values as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. Deceleration relies on fixed TPU elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions.
