Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X30S 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.

About the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X30S
The AirTAC TACQ25X30S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder equipped with a built-in piston magnet (-S suffix). It combines a standard ACQ body with two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate, allowing it to drive and guide a load simultaneously. This integration replaces a separate linear guide while maintaining a highly compact footprint. The twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position and provides superior lateral load capacity compared to a plain rod.
Drive force equals that of a standard ACQ bore 25, yielding 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The guides add structural stiffness, not extra thrust. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed elastomer TPU bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. For automated sensing, the internal magnet is compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches mounted in the standard grooves. Always ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding allowable reverse torque limits.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X30S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Maintains precise vertical alignment during component transfer without twisting under lateral inertia.
Sensor Slide
Positions inspection cameras smoothly on a packaging line, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid physical stop for workpieces on a conveyor, absorbing side impacts via the twin guide rods.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, note the neighbouring capacities: a 20 mm bore provides 157.1 N push, while a 32 mm bore yields 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application does not require anti-rotation or lateral load support, a plain ACQ25 cylinder offers equivalent thrust in a smaller footprint. For tasks demanding equal force on both extend and retract strokes, consider a double-rod ACQD25. To finalize your TACQ25X30S order, confirm the 30 mm stroke is within the 50 mm maximum, specify the PT port thread, and verify the specific reverse torque and mass limits from the datasheet to ensure they fit your 0.5 MPa operating parameters.
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 TACQ25X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull force, reaching 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The standard maximum stroke for this 25 mm bore is 50 mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet for position sensing, compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. The unit has a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases as stroke length increases; always confirm the exact order-of-magnitude limit for your setup from the datasheet and do not apply external torque above this threshold.
