Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X35
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X35 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø40mm bore, 35mm 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 TACQ40X35
The AirTAC TACQ40X35 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring two stainless steel guide rods and a fixing plate. It restricts rotation to ±0.15° at the retracted position and handles lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot, effectively replacing a separate linear guide by driving and guiding in one unit. Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same 40mm bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust.
This 35mm stroke unit delivers 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, with a 879.6N push at 0.7MPa. It uses a PT1/8 port, a 16mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration instead of adjustable air cushions. The body retains magnetic switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X35 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a gripper assembly in electronics assembly machinery, utilizing the twin guide rods to maintain precise vertical alignment and absorb lateral payload weight during rapid transfers.
Component Pressing Station
Depresses small bearings or pins into housings on an automated fixture, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy to prevent tooling skew and ensure consistent insertion depth.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rising stop block on a packaging conveyor, where the guided fixing plate withstands side impacts from moving product loads without deflecting the actuator rod.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X35 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, the neighboring 32mm bore yields 402.1N push while the 50mm bore provides 981.8N push at 0.5MPa, allowing you to step up or down if 628.3N is borderline for your load. A plain ACQ fits applications needing basic extension without lateral load support, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust. For this TACQ40X35, verify your stroke does not exceed the 100mm maximum, specify PT threading, and ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod. Always confirm the exact reverse torque limit for your 35mm stroke from the datasheet, as exceeding it can damage the guides.
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 TACQ40X35 FAQ
This 40mm bore cylinder provides 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, or 879.6N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. It features a 35mm stroke (under the 100mm max), PT1/8 port, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Two stainless steel guide rods support lateral payloads, but you must keep applied reverse torque within limits, which decrease as stroke extends—confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, so for high kinetic energy loads, add an external shock absorber to prevent guide damage.
