Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X40 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 40mm 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 TACQ32X40
The AirTAC TACQ32X40 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 40mm 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 mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and provides the lateral load capacity that a standard plain rod cannot handle.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.1N push and 301.6N pull, rising to 562.9N at 0.7MPa. The unit uses a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end. This specific model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for future upgrades.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X40 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for electronic component transfer where the twin guide rods maintain strict ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy during vertical placement operations.
Vision System Slide
Positions camera inspection modules smoothly. The integrated guiding replaces a separate linear guide, handling lateral camera weight without deflection.
Assembly Press Stop
Acts as a precise stopper gate on small assembly presses. The fixed elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact while the rods resist side loads.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X40 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push at 0.5 MPa, while a 40mm bore provides 628.3N. Choose this 32mm option when your application requires around 400N of thrust alongside precise anti-rotation guidance. If lateral stability is unnecessary, a plain ACQ saves space and cost; if equal push and pull forces are needed, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering, confirm the 40mm stroke is within limits, specify PT threading, and note the absence of the S magnet. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, and ensure 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 TACQ32X40 FAQ
This 32mm bore cylinder provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 40mm stroke, PT1/8 port, M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two stainless steel guide rods allow it to bear lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot. However, maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits decrease as stroke length increases; always confirm the exact values from the datasheet. Do not apply reverse torque above the limit, and keep external forces concentric with the rod.
