Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X25 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 25mm 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 TACQ32X25
The AirTAC TACQ32X25 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 25mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The twin-rod architecture ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position while supporting lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force equals that of a standard ACQ bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust, yielding 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and a fixed elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration. This specific unit ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for future reed or solid-state switch integration.

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 TACQ32X25 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts suction cups on the fixing plate to transfer electronic components without rotational drift during vertical placement.
PCB Probe Slide
Drives testing pins down onto circuit boards with ±0.15° non-rotating precision to avoid damaging delicate contact pads.
Carton Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid stopper mechanism on packaging conveyors, absorbing side loads from moving items without deflecting.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X25 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore provides 402.1N push at 0.5MPa; sizing down to a 25mm bore drops thrust to 245.4N, while stepping up to a 40mm bore increases it to 628.3N. If your mechanism already employs an external linear rail and only needs pure thrust, a plain ACQ cylinder is more appropriate, whereas a double-rod ACQD suits applications demanding higher lateral stability than twin guides offer. Confirm your ordering parameters (bore, 25mm stroke, PT thread, no magnet) and verify your load does not exceed the reverse torque or mass/speed limits charted at 0.5MPa.
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 TACQ32X25 FAQ
This double-acting 32mm bore cylinder provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. It has a 25mm stroke (max standard stroke is 100mm), a PT1/8 port, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two stainless steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads a plain rod cannot, but there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5MPa) that decreases with stroke length; confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for deceleration, so for high-speed or high-energy loads, add an external shock absorber.
