Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø40mm bore, 25mm 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 TACQ40X25
The AirTAC TACQ40X25 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 40 mm bore and 25 mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate, driving and guiding a load simultaneously to replace a separate linear guide. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15° at the retracted position, enabling precise lateral load handling that a plain compact rod cannot match.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. This unit pushes with 628.3 N and pulls with 527.8 N at 0.5 MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread, and a fixed elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration. The body includes sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Secures electronic components on PCB assembly lines, relying on ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy to prevent angular drift during vertical placement.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a rugged stopper block on packaging conveyors, absorbing lateral side-impacts from moving goods that a standard cylinder rod cannot withstand.
Vision Camera Slide
Positions machine vision cameras for automated optical inspection, using the twin guide rods to maintain strict camera alignment without adding external rails.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40 mm bore, the adjacent 32 mm option yields 402.1 N push, while the 50 mm option provides 981.8 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the TACQ40X25 when your application requires 628.3 N thrust alongside anti-rotation support. If your load requires symmetrical force or failsafe holding on air loss, consider a double-rod ACQD or an external rod lock. Always confirm your stroke does not exceed the 100 mm maximum, verify lateral load and reverse torque limits from the datasheet, and specify PT 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 TACQ40X25 FAQ
The drive force equals a standard ACQ: 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The two guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for a 40 mm bore is 100 mm.
The twin stainless steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads directly. Maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits decrease as stroke increases; for a 40 mm bore, expect an order-of-magnitude range below 1 N·m. Always confirm the exact limit for your stroke from the datasheet, and do not apply external force above the limit or off-center from the rod.
