Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 30mm 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 TACQ32X30
The AirTAC TACQ32X30 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 30mm stroke. Two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate combine drive and guidance into one unit, actively replacing a separate linear guide. This non-rotating design holds lateral loads securely, maintaining a tight ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ body of the same size, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. You get 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, rising to 562.9N push at 0.7MPa. The unit uses a PT1/8 port, features fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, and includes magnetic-switch grooves for adding sensors later.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives an end effector for component placement while the twin guide rods prevent jaw deflection during vertical transfers.
PCB Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid stop on an electronics conveyor line, absorbing side impacts without rotating the blocking plate.
Sensor Positioning Slide
Holds a vision camera steady for automated inspection tasks, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32mm bore with a 30mm stroke provides 402.1N push at 0.5MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push, while sizing up to a 40mm bore offers 628.3N push. A plain ACQ fits if your load is already externally guided and free of lateral stress, or an ACQD double-rod cylinder works for higher opposing forces. Verify your lateral load and reverse torque limits, which decrease as stroke extends and should be confirmed from the datasheet. Ensure your ordering details cover the 32mm bore, 30mm stroke (max standard 100mm), and PT thread, noting this specific configuration ships without a magnet.
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 TACQ32X30 FAQ
It delivers 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. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for deceleration, not adjustable air cushions. The body has grooves for reed or solid-state switches, but this specific model ships without the magnet. Note that a standard ACQ body does not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Always apply external force concentric with the rod and confirm reverse torque limits from the datasheet.
