Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40S 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 TACQ25X40S
The AirTAC TACQ25X40S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 40mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot support.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it provides 245.4N push and 188.9N pull force, reaching 343.6N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit includes fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and features a built-in magnet for position sensing. M5x0.8 ports and an M6x1.0 female rod-end thread facilitate straightforward integration.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a small gripper assembly with precise vertical descent, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to prevent part misalignment during board insertion.
Camera Slide
Positions a machine vision camera over a moving conveyor, using the dual guide rods to maintain strict lateral stability without needing an external linear rail.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rising stop gate for lightweight pallets, absorbing side impacts via the integrated fixing plate while holding position against lateral flow.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X40S the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the 20mm bore variant offers 157.1N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 32mm bore provides 402.1N push if your application demands higher thrust. If lateral load support and anti-rotation are unnecessary, a plain ACQ cylinder suffices, or an ACQD double-rod unit fits better for symmetrical guiding. When ordering this TACQ25X40S, confirm the 40mm stroke is within the 50mm maximum, verify the S magnet option for electronic or reed switches, and specify PT thread. Always check the mass and speed limits plus the allowable reverse torque, which decreases with stroke length, against the 0.5 MPa charted values.
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 TACQ25X40S FAQ
The TACQ25X40S has a 25mm bore, 40mm stroke, and M5x0.8 port. It delivers 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.6N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 50kgf at 1.0 MPa. The dual guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 50mm.
It uses fixed TPU elastomer bumpers at each end to decelerate the load, which are not adjustable air cushions; for high energy, slow the approach or add external shock absorbers. The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches. Do not exceed the maximum reverse torque or mass/speed limits, and ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod.
