Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100S 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 TACQ32X100S
The AirTAC TACQ32X100S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 100mm stroke. Twin stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate replace a separate linear guide, driving and supporting the load in one unit. The platform is non-rotating with a ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position, handling lateral loads that a plain rod cannot.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of this bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a fixed elastomer NBR bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes a built-in piston magnet (-S) for position sensing.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Maintains exact angular orientation during vertical transfers on PCB assembly lines without needing an external linear guide.
Component Pusher
Resists lateral side loads when indexing cartons on a packaging conveyor, keeping the pushing plate stable over 100mm.
Sensor Slide
Provides a rigid, twist-resistant mount for vision camera descent on a small testing fixture, ensuring ±0.15° repeatability.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X100S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore with 100mm stroke (the maximum standard for this size) maximizes travel while providing 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa. If less force is needed, a 25mm bore offers 245.4 N push; for higher loads, a 40mm bore gives 628.3 N push. A plain ACQ fits if no anti-rotation or lateral load support is required, while an ACQD double-rod cylinder suits symmetric pulling. Confirm ordering essentials: bore, stroke, S magnet, and PT1/8 thread. Always verify the specific reverse torque limit and mass/speed constraints from the datasheet, and ensure external forces are 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 TACQ32X100S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 402.1 N and pull is 301.6 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 562.9 N. Maximum push is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
The -S magnet works with reed or solid-state switches. It uses a fixed elastomer bumper, not an adjustable cushion. The unit does not hold loads on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Max reverse torque decreases with stroke (order-of-magnitude ~0.20 N·m at 100mm for Ø32) — confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and never exceed it.
