Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X5S 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 TACQ25X5S
The AirTAC TACQ25X5S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 25mm bore and a 5mm stroke. Two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate ensure the platform is non-rotating to a ±0.15° tolerance. This integrated drive-and-guide design handles lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot, effectively replacing a separate linear guide in tight assemblies.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 245.4 N of push force and 188.9 N of pull force, with a maximum push capacity of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit uses an M5x0.8 port, a 12mm piston rod, and fixed elastomer TPU bumpers at each end. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with reed or solid-state switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X5S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for small component transfer where the twin guide rods prevent platform rotation during rapid vertical placement moves.
Sensor Camera Slide
Provides stable lateral load support for vision system inspection heads, maintaining strict ±0.15° alignment over short 5mm travels.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a compact routing stop on packaging lines, absorbing side impacts thanks to the rigid stainless steel guiding construction.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ25X5S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 25mm bore involves sizing against its neighbors. Dropping to a 20mm bore reduces push force to 157.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 32mm bore increases it to 402.1 N. If your application only requires pure linear thrust without anti-rotation constraints, a plain ACQ cylinder saves space and cost. Conversely, if you need equal force on both strokes, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering, verify the 5mm stroke, the required -S magnet, and PT porting. Always ensure external loads remain concentric with the rod and confirm the reverse torque limits 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 TACQ25X5S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers a push force of 245.4 N and a pull force of 188.9 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 343.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for a 25mm bore is 50mm. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
The two guide rods handle lateral loads but have a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases as stroke length increases. Treat the 25mm bore torque limits as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the official datasheet. Never apply reverse torque above this limit. Additionally, the fixed elastomer bumper decelerates the rod near stroke ends but does not hold the load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.
