Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø25mm bore, 50mm 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 TACQ25X50
The AirTAC TACQ25X50 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This design restricts rotation to a tight ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position, allowing the unit to drive and support lateral loads simultaneously, thereby replacing a separate linear guide.
Drive output equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, meaning the twin shafts contribute stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 245.4 N push and 188.9 N pull, peaking at 50 kgf when pressurized to 1.0 MPa. Deceleration relies on fixed elastomer TPU bumpers at each end, and the body features magnetic-switch grooves even though this specific unit ships without a magnet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Lifts and transfers small electronic components on an assembly line without twisting, utilizing the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy for precise placement.
Vision Camera Slide
Positions an inspection camera vertically over a moving conveyor, relying on the twin guide rods to maintain optical alignment against minor lateral drift.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid stop mechanism for workpieces on a packaging belt, absorbing side impacts that a standard single-rod compact cylinder could not withstand.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50 the Right Cylinder?
Sizing this 25 mm bore involves comparing adjacent options: the Ø20 generates 157.1 N push, while the Ø32 provides 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the TACQ25X50 when your payload requires exactly 245.4 N of thrust alongside precise anti-rotation. If your mechanism already employs an external linear rail and only needs raw push force, a plain ACQ body fits better. Conversely, if equal push and pull on both sides is necessary, an ACQD double-rod format is superior. Confirm ordering essentials: the 50 mm stroke hits the maximum standard limit for this bore, the port is M5x0.8 with PT threads, and there is no S magnet suffix. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass limits from the datasheet, and ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod.
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 TACQ25X50 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 245.4 N and pull is 188.9 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 343.6 N. The maximum push is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 50 mm stroke is the maximum standard length for this 25 mm bore. Twin guide rods restrict rotation to ±0.15°.
The two stainless steel guide rods allow it to bear lateral loads that a plain rod cannot. However, maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends (order-of-magnitude only, confirm exact values from the datasheet). Never exceed this torque limit, and always apply external force concentric with the rod to prevent guide binding.
