The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X30 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 30mm 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.
Operating double-acting, the AirTAC TACQ25X30 integrates two stainless guide rods and a fixing plate with a JIS compact body. This architecture yields a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° while supporting lateral loads that would bind a plain rod. The guide units contribute stiffness rather than extra drive thrust, so output mirrors a standard ACQ. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull force.
The unit features a fixed elastomer bumper to soften end-of-travel impacts rather than an adjustable air cushion. Integrated sensor grooves exist on the body, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Engineers must respect the maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits (charted at 0.5 MPa), which decrease as the stroke extends; always 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 strict ±0.15° orientation during vertical component insertion on PCB assembly lines.
Provides stable, twist-free positioning for machine vision cameras inspecting flat displays.
Resists side-impact loads from passing packages on a packaging conveyor without derailing.
Selecting this 25 mm bore over the smaller 20 mm increases thrust from 157.1 N to 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires more power, the 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N. A standard ACQ fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation guidance is needed, while a double-rod ACQD suits higher drive force demands. Verify your ordering parameters: 25 mm bore, 30 mm stroke (within the 50 mm maximum), PT port thread, and no magnet. Always check the lateral load and reverse-torque constraints against the datasheet, and apply external load concentrically with the rod.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder 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 standard stroke limit is 50 mm. Twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
No, a standard ACQ-type body drifts on air loss because the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Also, do not exceed the maximum reverse torque limit (an order-of-magnitude reference that must be confirmed from the datasheet) and keep external force concentric with the rod.
