Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45S 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 TACQ32X45S
The AirTAC TACQ32X45S is a JIS compact, double-acting guided cylinder integrating two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate with the drive unit. This construction secures the platform against rotation to a strict ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position. It is built to carry lateral loads that would deflect a plain compact rod, effectively driving and guiding a payload in a single body rather than requiring a separate linear guide.
Drive thrust equals a standard ACQ of the same 32 mm bore, as the twin rods contribute stiffness rather than extra piston area. 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 capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit features a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TACQ datasheet. Two guide rods carry lateral load and hold rotation to ±0.15°; do not apply reverse torque beyond the datasheet limit. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 82 kgf | |
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore — the guide rods add stiffness, not thrust. Keep moving mass and speed within the datasheet chart (rated at 0.5 MPa).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a small gripper on an assembly machine while the dual rods prevent platform rotation during vertical component placement.
PCB Vision Slide
Positions a camera bracket for electronics inspection; the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy ensures the lens stays square to the board.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Raises a physical stop block on a packaging line, relying on the lateral-load capacity to withstand side impacts from incoming product.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X45S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, the neighboring TACQ25X45S yields 245.4 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger TACQ40X45S provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; pick the 32 mm bore if 402.1 N thrust fits your payload margin. Consider a plain ACQ32X45S if your mechanism already has external linear rails and lateral loading is negligible, or a double-rod ACQD32X45S if you need equal push and pull forces on both strokes. When ordering, confirm the 45 mm stroke is within the 100 mm maximum, verify the -S magnet for sensors, and check the PT thread form. Always verify the lateral load and reverse torque against the 0.5 MPa charts before finalizing.
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 TACQ32X45S FAQ
It delivers 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The piston rod is Ø16 mm with a PT1/8 port and an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread. The twin guide rods hold non-rotating tolerance to ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm.
It has fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end, not adjustable air cushions, so add an external shock absorber for high-energy cycles. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches. A plain ACQ body does not hold its load on air loss; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. Also, never exceed the allowable reverse torque or mass/speed limits—confirm the exact values for your 45 mm stroke from the datasheet.
