The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X10 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 10mm 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 TACQ32X10 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 10mm stroke. Two stainless steel guide rods paired with a fixing plate deliver a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. This integrated drive-and-guide setup replaces a separate linear guide, carrying lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot manage.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of equivalent size, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 402.1N push and 301.6N pull, rising to 562.9N at 0.7 MPa. The body incorporates NBR fixed elastomer bumpers at stroke ends and includes sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 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).
Handles component transfer in electronics assembly where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance prevents part misalignment during rapid vertical placement.
Positions machine vision cameras with high repeatability, leveraging the twin guide rods to maintain optical focus despite offset payload weight.
Acts as a rugged stop mechanism on packaging lines, absorbing lateral side-impacts from moving goods without deflecting the piston assembly.
Selecting this 32mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options: a 25mm unit provides 245.4N push, while a 40mm offers 628.3N at 0.5 MPa. A plain ACQ fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation is required, and a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust. For the TACQ32X10, verify the 10mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, confirm PT1/8 ports and M8x1.25 rod threads, and check reverse-torque limits against the datasheet before ordering.
Quick checklist
This 32mm bore cylinder provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It features a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 rod-end thread, a 10mm stroke, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods support lateral loads, but maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends; treat the charted 0.5 MPa values as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm exact limits from the datasheet. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, and you should ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod.
