The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X45S 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.
The AirTAC TACQ25X45S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder with a 25 mm bore and 45 mm stroke. Twin stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate replace a separate linear guide, driving and supporting the load simultaneously. The platform holds a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° and handles lateral loads that a plain rod cannot manage.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, because the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. This unit includes a piston magnet for position sensing and uses fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration. Keep applied external force concentric with the rod to maximize guide life.

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.

| 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).

The guide plate replaces a separate rod-thread option. Related: ACQ (plain single rod), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Maintains precise angular alignment during vertical component placement on PCB assembly lines, preventing workpiece twist.
Positions machine vision optics for inspection stations without requiring an external linear guide rail.
Raises a physical barrier to halt workpiece flow on packaging conveyors, absorbing lateral side forces safely.
For 0.5 MPa push force, this 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N; stepping down to a 20 mm bore gives 157.1 N, while a 32 mm bore provides 402.1 N. Choose a plain ACQ if your load is already guided externally and anti-rotation is unnecessary, or a double-rod ACQD if equal push and pull forces are required. When ordering, verify the 45 mm stroke is within the 50 mm maximum, confirm the S magnet option for sensors, and specify PT or G threads. Always check the lateral load and reverse torque limits against the datasheet, and never apply reverse torque above the allowable threshold.
Quick checklist
It delivers 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 45 mm stroke is within the 50 mm standard maximum. Twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Two stainless steel guide rods manage lateral loads, but reverse torque limits decrease as stroke extends; confirm the exact allowable torque from the datasheet.
