Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 100mm 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 TACQ32X100
The AirTAC TACQ32X100 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 100mm stroke. It integrates twin stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate, ensuring precise non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. This structural design absorbs lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot handle, enabling the unit to drive and guide a payload simultaneously without needing an external linear guide.
Drive output mirrors a conventional ACQ body, as the twin shafts add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it generates 402.1 N of push force and 301.6 N of pull force, peaking at 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The body incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Ports are PT1/8.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Lifts and transfers electronic components on an assembly line, utilizing the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy to maintain precise gripper orientation during vertical movements.
PCB Probe Slide
Drives a testing probe block onto circuit boards, where the twin guide rods absorb lateral offset and prevent binding without needing a separate linear guide.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid stop mechanism on a packaging conveyor, relying on the lateral-load capacity to halt moving pallets while maintaining its fixed position.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32mm bore at the maximum 100mm standard stroke provides 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4 N push, while moving up to a 40mm bore offers 628.3 N push. A plain ACQ fits straightforward linear pushing, and a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust, but neither matches the anti-rotation benefit here. When ordering, verify the 100mm stroke limit, PT thread, and absence of the S magnet. Always cross-check lateral loads and reverse torque limits, which decrease at full extension; confirm exact values 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 TACQ32X100 FAQ
This 32mm bore cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT1/8 port, a maximum standard stroke of 100mm, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The twin guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads, but maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as the stroke extends (order-of-magnitude 0.66 N·m down to 0.20 N·m for this bore); always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers are recommended for high-energy loads.
