Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 5mm 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 TACQ32X5
The AirTAC TACQ32X5 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate with a standard ACQ body. This configuration drives and guides a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear guide. The dual rods provide a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position while carrying lateral loads that a plain rod cannot manage.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same 32mm bore, delivering a push of 402.1N and pull of 301.6N at 0.5MPa. The unit features a fixed elastomer NBR bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The body includes magnetic-switch grooves, but this specific configuration ships without a magnet. To prevent rod drift upon air loss, utilize an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve.

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 | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5 Is Used
Short-Stroke Pressing
Provides stable, non-rotating downward force for seating small bearings or pins in automated assembly machinery.
Pick-and-Place Head
Maintains precise vertical alignment for grippers lifting electronic components without requiring a separate linear guide.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid, guided stopper mechanism on packaging lines, absorbing lateral side-loads during pallet contact.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, stepping down to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push, while stepping up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N push at 0.5MPa. If your application does not involve lateral loads or requires preventing rod rotation, a plain ACQ cylinder is more economical; for equal push and pull force on both strokes, consider a double-rod ACQD. Confirm ordering essentials: 32mm bore, 5mm stroke (within the 100mm maximum), PT1/8 port, and no magnet. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet for your specific stroke, and ensure external forces are applied 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 TACQ32X5 FAQ
This 32mm bore cylinder has a PT1/8 port and an M8x1.25 rod-end thread. At 0.5MPa it generates 402.1N push and 301.6N pull, with a 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°, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
The dual stainless steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot. However, there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and a mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5MPa) that decreases with stroke length. Treat reverse torque as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact limit from the datasheet; never apply reverse torque above this limit or external force off-center.
