Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X25S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X25S 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 TACQ32X25S
The AirTAC TACQ32X25S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate. By integrating drive and guidance into one unit, it replaces a separate linear guide. The twin rods prevent platform rotation to a tight ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position, enabling precise positioning that a plain rod cannot achieve.
Drive force matches a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull, requiring PT1/8 ports and a Ø16 piston rod. Stroke travel is 25 mm, well under the 100 mm maximum. The unit uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration instead of adjustable air cushions, and the S suffix means a piston magnet is included for tracking with reed or solid-state switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X25S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives an assembly pick head with high precision, using the twin rods to resist grip twist during part placement.
PCB Reject Gate
Acts as a stopper on a circuit board conveyor, holding lateral load without rotating under side impacts.
Sensor Slide
Positions a testing probe repeatably, leveraging the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy for consistent measurements.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X25S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32 mm bore involves sizing for both thrust and lateral guidance. If 402.1 N push at 0.5 MPa is excessive, dropping to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N. If your payload requires more power, stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. A plain ACQ fits when external lateral loads are absent, while a double-rod ACQD suits higher torque demands. For the TACQ32X25S, verify stroke is under the 100 mm limit, specify the S magnet for sensors, and confirm PT thread. Always ensure applied external force stays concentric with the rod and that reverse torque stays below the allowable limit, which decreases with stroke length—confirm the exact value 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 TACQ32X25S FAQ
This 32 mm 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. Maximum push force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, a Ø16 rod, and the standard stroke limit for this bore is 100 mm. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods absorb lateral loads and prevent platform rotation. End cushioning relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. A maximum allowable reverse torque limit applies and decreases with stroke length—treat any torque figure as an order-of-magnitude estimate and confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Do not exceed this torque and keep external force concentric with the rod.
