Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5S 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 TACQ32X5S
The AirTAC TACQ32X5S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating a 32mm bore ACQ body with two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This architecture ensures precise non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position. The dual rods allow the unit to carry lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot manage. By combining drive and guidance into one assembly, it eliminates the need for an external linear guide.
Thrust output equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 402.1N push and 301.6N pull at 0.5MPa, because the guides add structural stiffness rather than extra piston area. This 5mm stroke variant uses a PT1/8 port and a 16mm piston rod. End-of-travel deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. The built-in magnet (-S suffix) supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches for position sensing.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5S Is Used
Short-Stroke Pressing
Applies 402.1N of axial force for seating bearings or stamping small components on an automated press line.
Ejector Gate
Uses the 5mm stroke to eject machined parts from a fixture, relying on the twin guide rods to prevent binding under offset loads.
Sensor Clamping
Holds a testing probe or vision camera rigidly against a test specimen, maintaining strict ±0.15° non-rotating alignment.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ32X5S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 32mm bore with a 5mm stroke provides high force in an extremely short retracted package. If your application needs less thrust, dropping to a 25mm bore yields 245.4N push at 0.5MPa. Conversely, scaling up to a 40mm bore provides 628.3N push. For purely axial loads without lateral forces or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ32 series cylinder is more compact and cost-effective. If you require equal push and pull forces on both strokes, consider a double-rod ACQD model. When ordering, verify the 5mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify the PT1/8 thread, and confirm your lateral load and reverse torque stay within the charted limits at 0.5MPa.
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 TACQ32X5S FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 402.1N push and 301.6N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 562.9N; maximum push is 82kgf at 1.0MPa. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for a 32mm bore is 100mm.
Reverse torque limits decrease with stroke length; for a 32mm bore it is roughly 0.66N·m at 5mm, but you must confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Do not apply reverse torque above this limit and keep external force concentric with the rod. The fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold the load on air loss, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
