Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X10S 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.

About the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X10S
The AirTAC TACQ32X10S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate. It drives and positions a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear guide. The twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, actively resisting lateral loads that a plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ bore 32, delivering 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, because the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. It features a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state electronic switches via the body grooves.

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 TACQ32X10S Is Used
Precision Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts small grippers on electronics assembly lines, using the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to place chips accurately without lateral drift.
Component Sorting Gate
Acts as a stopper gate on packaging conveyors, absorbing lateral side-loads from moving cartons while guiding them straight.
Sensor Positioning Slide
Drives a vision camera or test probe into inspection position on a testing fixture, replacing a separate linear guide rail.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X10S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32 mm bore with a 10 mm stroke gives high force in a tiny footprint. If your application needs less thrust, step down to a 25 mm bore providing 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa; if you require more power, step up to a 40 mm bore yielding 628.3 N. A plain ACQ fits if no anti-rotation or lateral load support is needed, while a double-rod ACQD suits higher bending moment demands. Confirm ordering essentials (bore, stroke under the 100 mm max, S magnet, PT thread) and verify the reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the 0.5 MPa chart before finalizing.
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 TACQ32X10S FAQ
This double-acting 32 mm bore cylinder provides 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It has a 10 mm stroke (max standard stroke is 100 mm), a PT1/8 port, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods support lateral loads directly, but reverse torque limits decrease with stroke length, so confirm exact values from the datasheet. End cushions use fixed NBR bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches, but a separate rod lock is required for fail-safe load holding on air loss.
