Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X35S 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 TACQ40X35S
The AirTAC TACQ40X35S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 35mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and provide lateral load capacity that a standard plain rod cannot handle.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 628.3 N push and 527.8 N pull, reaching 879.6 N push at 0.7 MPa with a maximum 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes a built-in magnet for position sensing.

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 TACQ40X35S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Maintains strict ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy for transferring components between CNC machining stations without needing an external linear guide.
PCB Handling Stopper
Acts as a rigid stop gate on an SMT conveyor, absorbing lateral side-loads from passing electronics trays while locking position firmly.
Carton Sealing Press
Provides a stable 628.3 N downward stroke at 0.5 MPa to fold and seal flaps on packaging lines, resisting any offset box resistance.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X35S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, dropping to a 32mm bore reduces push to 402.1 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 50mm bore raises it to 981.8 N. If your application lacks lateral load or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder is more compact. For symmetrical thrust from both sides, consider a double-rod ACQD. Confirm your ordering essentials: 40mm bore, 35mm stroke (under the 100mm max), S magnet, and PT1/8 port. Always verify the lateral load and reverse torque limits from the datasheet, and ensure external forces are concentric with the rod.
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 TACQ40X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 628.3 N and pull is 527.8 N; at 0.7 MPa push is 879.6 N, with a maximum push of 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is PT1/8. Non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for a 40mm bore is 100 mm.
The two stainless steel guide rods support lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot, but a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit apply (decreasing with stroke) — confirm exact values from the datasheet and never exceed them. The fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end; it does not hold the load on air loss, so use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
