Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 45mm 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 TACQ32X45
The AirTAC TACQ32X45 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 45mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. The twin-rod mechanism ensures strict non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and provides superior lateral load support compared to a standard plain rod.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull, requiring a PT1/8 port. This unit relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for future upgrades.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for transferring small electronic components where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance prevents part misalignment during vertical placement.
PCB Probe Slide
Drives testing probes downward against circuit boards, using the twin guide rods to absorb lateral reaction forces without deflecting.
Carton Stopper Gate
Acts as a rugged stopper arm on packaging conveyors, holding heavy boxes reliably while resisting side impacts.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32mm bore involves sizing against adjacent options: a 25mm unit offers 245.4 N push, while a 40mm provides 628.3 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application lacks lateral loads or twisting forces, a plain ACQ suffices; for higher equal thrust on both strokes, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering the TACQ32X45, confirm the 45mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, verify the PT thread requirement, and ensure the magnet omission suits your sensing needs. Always cross-check the allowable reverse torque and mass limits charted at 0.5 MPa, and apply external forces concentric with the rod to prevent guide binding.
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 TACQ32X45 FAQ
The 32mm bore generates 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. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 100 mm.
The dual stainless steel guide rods resist lateral loads, but reverse torque limits decrease as stroke extends (order-of-magnitude ~0.66 N·m down to ~0.20 N·m for this bore), so confirm exact limits from the datasheet. End deceleration uses a fixed NBR bumper, not an adjustable cushion; for high kinetic energy, add an external shock absorber.
