Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25S 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 TACQ40X25S
The AirTAC TACQ40X25S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 25mm stroke. It integrates twin stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The platform is non-rotating with a tight ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position, carrying lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it provides 628.3N push and 527.8N pull, reaching 879.6N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit uses a fixed elastomer NBR bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet enables position sensing with reed or solid-state switches via the built-in grooves.

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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a vacuum suction cup array for electronic component handling, ensuring the twin guide rods prevent workpiece twist during vertical ascent.
Vision System Slide
Positions an automated optical inspection camera over a PCB line, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy for repeatable imaging.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a pneumatic stopper on a packaging conveyor, absorbing lateral box impacts using the integrated fixing plate and guide rods.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X25S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 40mm bore with a 25mm stroke offers 628.3N push force at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less thrust, the adjacent 32mm bore provides 402.1N push at 0.5 MPa; for higher force, the 50mm bore yields 981.8N push at 0.5 MPa. A plain ACQ cylinder fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation guidance is needed, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetric pushing and pulling. Confirm ordering essentials: 40mm bore, 25mm stroke (within the 100mm max), -S magnet, and PT1/8 port. Always verify the lateral load and reverse-torque limits, applying external force concentric with the rod to avoid guide damage.
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 TACQ40X25S FAQ
This 40mm bore cylinder provides 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 879.6N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The stroke is 25mm (maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm), and the non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate support lateral loads directly, replacing a separate linear guide. The maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits decrease with stroke length and are charted at 0.5 MPa; treat them as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Never apply reverse torque above the limit, and keep external force concentric with the rod.
