Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 40mm 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 TACQ25X40
The AirTAC TACQ25X40 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder with a 25mm bore and 40mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate, driving and guiding a load in one unit to replace a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and carry lateral loads a plain compact rod cannot.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of this bore, yielding 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5MPa, or 343.6N push at 0.7MPa. The body uses a fixed elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes sensor grooves, though this specific model ships without a magnet. Apply external force concentric with the rod and never exceed the allowable reverse torque.

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 | — |
| 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).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives small electronic components with high lateral stability, ensuring the twin guide rods prevent platform rotation during transfer.
PCB Conveyor Stopper
Acts as a rigid gate on a PCB assembly line, holding boards in place against side forces without deflecting.
Sensor Slide Mount
Positions a vision sensor precisely over a moving web, maintaining strict angular alignment throughout the 40mm travel.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40 the Right Cylinder?
For lighter jobs, the Ø20 bore provides 157.1N push at 0.5MPa, while the larger Ø32 bore offers 402.1N push if your payload needs more thrust. Choose a plain ACQ if your load is already guided externally and does not need anti-rotation. Confirm your essentials: 25mm bore, 40mm stroke (within the 50mm maximum), PT port threads, and no magnet on this unit. Always verify the mass and speed limits plus the reverse torque order-of-magnitude from the datasheet to ensure safe operation.
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 TACQ25X40 FAQ
It delivers 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5MPa, or 343.6N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push force of 50kgf at 1.0MPa. The stroke is 40mm (maximum standard stroke is 50mm). The twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
No, a plain ACQ-type cylinder drifts on air loss as the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. The two stainless steel guide rods carry lateral loads but have a reverse torque and mass/speed limit that decreases with stroke—confirm the exact order-of-magnitude limit from the datasheet.
