Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30S 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 TACQ32X30S
The AirTAC TACQ32X30S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 30mm stroke. Twin stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate replace a separate linear guide, driving and supporting the payload simultaneously. The platform restricts rotation to ±0.15° at the retracted position, accommodating lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot manage.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull, scaling to 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, and the built-in magnet (-S) tracks position using reed or solid-state switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for electronics assembly transfer arms where the twin guide rods prevent platform twist during vertical lifting and horizontal shifting of components.
Vision System Slide
Positions camera brackets for PCB inspection. The ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy ensures the lens maintains its exact viewing angle across the 30mm travel.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a height-specific flow control barrier on packaging lines. The guided structure withstands side impacts from moving product carts without bending the piston.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X30S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options: a 25mm unit provides 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40mm offers 628.3 N. Choose the TACQ32X30S when your payload requires 402.1 N thrust alongside precise anti-rotation guidance. If your mechanism already employs an external linear rail and only needs straight push force, a plain ACQ saves space and cost. For applications demanding equal force on both strokes, consider a double-rod ACQD. Confirm ordering essentials (bore, 30mm stroke under the 100mm limit, PT1/8 port, M8x1.25 thread). Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, ensuring external forces remain 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 TACQ32X30S FAQ
This double-acting 32mm bore cylinder generates 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push capacity is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The standard stroke limit for this bore is 100mm, and this 30mm variant provides non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°.
No, a standard ACQ-type body drifts when air is lost, as the fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate near stroke end; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. Additionally, the max allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends (order-of-magnitude ~0.66 N·m down to ~0.20 N·m for this bore) — confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and do not exceed it.
