The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X35 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 35mm 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.
The AirTAC TACQ25X35 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate with a 25mm bore body. By driving and guiding in a single unit, it replaces a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, handling lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it provides 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull force, rising to 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed elastomer TPU bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific model ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for future upgrades.

The guide plate replaces a separate rod-thread option. Related: ACQ (plain single rod), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Drives a small gripper on an electronics assembly machine, ensuring the twin guide rods keep the component perfectly aligned during vertical placement without lateral drift.
Positions a vision camera over a moving conveyor belt, leveraging the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to maintain precise optical inspection angles.
Acts as a rising stop on a packaging line, using the integrated fixing plate to halt pallets while absorbing lateral side forces from the moving conveyor.
Selecting this 25mm bore with a 35mm stroke is ideal when your application requires exact non-rotating control within a 50mm maximum stroke envelope. If 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa is insufficient, step up to the 32mm bore (402.1 N push); if excessive, step down to the 20mm bore (157.1 N push). A plain ACQ fits purely linear loads without anti-rotation needs, while a double-rod ACQD suits higher torque requirements. Confirm ordering essentials: 25mm bore, 35mm stroke, PT port thread, and no magnet. Always verify lateral load and reverse torque limits, which decrease with stroke length—confirm the exact allowable reverse torque from the datasheet. Do not apply reverse torque above this limit, and apply external force concentric with the rod.
Quick checklist
The 25mm bore generates 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an M5x0.8 port, an M6x1.0 female rod-end thread, a maximum standard stroke of 50 mm, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods carry lateral loads but do not hold the load on air loss; the rod drifts and a fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length—treat it as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet. This model ships without a sensor magnet.
