Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X45 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 45mm 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 TACQ25X45
The AirTAC TACQ25X45 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25 mm bore and 45 mm stroke. Two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate deliver a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°, enabling the unit to drive and guide a payload simultaneously while carrying lateral loads a plain rod cannot handle.
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, rising to 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. It features an M5x0.8 port, fixed elastomer TPU bumpers, and sensor grooves, though this specific model ships without a magnet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X45 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for small electronic component transfer where the twin guide rods prevent platform rotation during vertical placement moves.
Sensor Camera Slide
Positions inspection cameras linearly without torsional deflection, ensuring the ±0.15° tolerance keeps imaging framed accurately.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a robust conveyor stopper gate that withstands side impacts from moving product loads better than an unguided rod.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X45 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 25 mm bore unit, dropping down to a 20 mm bore yields 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N push. If your application does not involve lateral loads or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder is a simpler choice. For higher driving force without increasing the piston diameter, a double-rod ACQD offers greater thrust. Ensure your stroke does not exceed the 50 mm maximum for this bore. Confirm your ordering essentials including the PT thread, and always verify the mass and speed limits. The maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as the stroke extends, so treat it as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet.
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 TACQ25X45 FAQ
This double-acting guided cylinder has a 25 mm bore and 45 mm stroke (max standard stroke 50 mm). It generates 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°.
No, it drifts on air loss since the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke ends. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Also, do not exceed the maximum allowable reverse torque, which decreases with stroke length, and apply external force concentric with the rod.
