Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50S 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 TACQ25X50S
The AirTAC TACQ25X50S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and 50mm stroke. Two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position. This structural design carries lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage. The integrated guide rods add stiffness and replace a separate linear guide, driving and positioning a load within one unit.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, yielding 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5MPa. The unit uses a fixed elastomer bumper at stroke ends rather than an adjustable air cushion. Equipped with an S-suffix piston magnet, the switch grooves accept reed or electronic solid-state sensors. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, and the M5x0.8 port handles airflow for speeds of 30-500mm/s.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives small electronic component grippers with ±0.15° non-rotating precision, absorbing lateral offset weight without needing an external linear guide rail.
Vision System Slide
Positions camera brackets for PCB inspection machines, using the twin guide rods to maintain strict camera alignment during vertical extension.
Carton Flap Folder
Folds corrugated cardboard flaps on packaging lines, relying on the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb impact at the 50mm stroke end.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X50S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 25mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options. A 20mm bore provides 157.1N push at 0.5MPa, while a 32mm bore offers 402.1N, making this model a middle ground for medium force. If lateral load support and anti-rotation are unnecessary, a plain ACQ cylinder saves space and cost. For applications needing equal force on both strokes, a double-rod ACQD is better. Confirm ordering essentials: 25mm bore, 50mm stroke (the maximum standard for this bore), S magnet, and PT thread. Always verify the mass and speed limits charted at 0.5MPa, and ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding reverse torque limits.
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 TACQ25X50S FAQ
It generates 245.4N push and 188.9N pull at 0.5MPa, 343.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum 50kgf push at 1.0MPa. The port is M5x0.8 with an M6x1.0 female rod-end thread. Twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke is 50mm.
No, a standard ACQ-type body does not hold loads on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end. Use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. Also, do not apply reverse torque above the limit or mass/speed limits charted at 0.5MPa, which decrease with stroke; confirm exact values from the datasheet.
