Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X50 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø32mm bore, 50mm 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 TACQ32X50
The AirTAC TACQ32X50 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 50mm stroke. It integrates twin stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear rail. The dual rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, directly supporting lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ body, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402.1N push and 301.6N pull, extending to 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa with a maximum 82kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit uses a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration instead of 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 TACQ32X50 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts suction cups or grippers directly to the fixing plate, utilizing the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to keep components perfectly aligned during vertical transfer.
PCB Probe Slide
Drives electronic test fixtures downward with 402.1N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, relying on the twin guide rods to absorb lateral probe resistance without deflection.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid physical stop on packaging lines, where the guided fixing plate halts moving product loads while resisting side impacts.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32mm bore, compare it against the adjacent options: a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push, while a 40mm bore provides 628.3N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the TACQ32X50 when your payload requires precise anti-rotation support and lateral load capacity within a 50mm travel. If lateral forces are absent, a plain ACQ saves space and weight; if equal push and pull thrust on both strokes is needed, a double-rod ACQD is superior. For ordering, confirm the 50mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify the PT thread, and note this specific configuration ships without a sensor magnet. Always verify the mass and speed limits, and confirm the allowable reverse torque for your specific stroke from the official datasheet.
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 TACQ32X50 FAQ
This 32mm bore double-acting cylinder provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, 562.9N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 82kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 100mm.
The twin guide rods support lateral loads but have a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases as stroke length increases; always confirm the exact limit for a 50mm stroke from the datasheet. Ensure external forces are applied concentrically with the rod. This model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state sensors later.
