Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X5 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 5mm 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 TACQ25X5
The AirTAC TACQ25X5 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25 mm bore and 5 mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and support loads simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. Rotation is restricted to a ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position, ensuring high repeatability for precise positioning tasks.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ body because the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust, yielding 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The unit uses an M5x0.8 port, an M6x1.0 rod-end thread, and fixed elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration. Be mindful of the maximum allowable reverse torque and mass or speed limits, which decrease as stroke length increases; verify the exact figures from the datasheet before commissioning.

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 TACQ25X5 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Keeps grippers perfectly aligned during short vertical or horizontal transfers without twisting under offset payload.
Component Press
Drives small electronic connectors or pins into PCBs with a compact 5 mm stroke and rigid anti-rotation control.
Conveyor Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid physical barrier on packaging lines, holding lateral side-loads without deflecting.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X5 the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, the adjacent Ø20 bore provides 157.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø32 bore offers 402.1 N push if your load exceeds 245.4 N. For applications where lateral load resistance and anti-rotation are unnecessary, a plain ACQ cylinder is more economical, or an ACQD double-rod unit suits symmetrical pulling. When ordering this 25 mm bore model, confirm the 5 mm stroke is within the 50 mm maximum, specify PT threading, and note this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Always ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod and confirm the reverse torque limits from the datasheet to prevent guide rod damage.
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 TACQ25X5 FAQ
This 25 mm bore, 5 mm stroke model provides 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. It features an M5x0.8 port, an M6x1.0 rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 50 mm.
No, this specific model ships without a magnet (-S suffix required for sensors), though the body retains switch grooves for reed or solid-state electronics when needed. Furthermore, it cannot hold a load unpowered; the rod drifts on air loss and the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe vertical holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve, and never exceed the reverse torque limit specified in the datasheet.
