Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X50S 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 TACQ32X50S
The AirTAC TACQ32X50S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 32mm bore and 50mm stroke. Two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate work together to prevent platform rotation, holding a tight ±0.15° tolerance. This integrated driving and guiding architecture replaces bulky separate linear rails while carrying lateral loads that would bind a standard plain rod.
Drive output mirrors a regular ACQ body of this size, as the dual shafts add structural stiffness rather than extra thrust. You get 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, scaling to 562.9N push at 0.7MPa. The unit includes a piston magnet for position sensing, works with reed or solid-state switches, and uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers 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 TACQ32X50S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives an assembly gripper while the dual guide rods maintain exact angular orientation for component placement on PCBs.
Vision Camera Slide
Positions an inspection camera with ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy, ensuring the lens stays perfectly level during retraction.
Assembly Machine Stopper
Acts as a rugged gate or stop on a production line, absorbing lateral side loads without deflecting or twisting.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32mm bore gives 402.1N push at 0.5MPa. If your payload is lighter, the 25mm version outputs 245.4N, while stepping up to the 40mm bore yields 628.3N. A standard ACQ fits if you only need basic linear motion without lateral load support, or an ACQD double-rod variant if you need symmetrical thrust. Remember to verify your load stays concentric with the rod axis and that reverse torque stays below the limit, which falls in the rough order of 0.20 to 0.66 N·m range for this stroke—always confirm exact figures from the datasheet. When ordering, check the 50mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify the S magnet for sensors, and note the default PT1/8 port thread.
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 TACQ32X50S FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull force, rising to 562.9N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The twin guide rods hold a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for this 32mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high energy loads. The S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches, and operators must ensure external forces remain concentric to avoid exceeding the reverse torque limits.
