Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X45S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø40mm bore, 45mm 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 TACQ40X45S
The AirTAC TACQ40X45S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 45mm 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 non-rotating accuracy is held to ±0.15° at the retracted position.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust, yielding 628.3N push at 0.5 MPa. It includes a fixed elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and an -S piston magnet for position sensing. Apply external forces concentric with the rod to prevent guide damage.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X45S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Holds precise vertical orientation during component placement on PCB assembly lines without twisting under lateral load.
Camera Inspection Slide
Maintains strict ±0.15° alignment for machine vision cameras moving into inspection positions on semiconductor machinery.
Product Stopper Gate
Acts as a sturdy, non-rotating flow control gate on packaging conveyors, absorbing side impacts from cartons.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X45S the Right Cylinder?
Generating 628.3N push at 0.5MPa, this 40mm bore fits medium duties; step down to a 32mm bore (402.1N) for lower resistance or up to 50mm (981.8N) for heavier masses. A plain ACQ works if no lateral load or anti-rotation is needed, while a double-rod ACQD suits higher torque. Verify stroke is within the 100mm maximum, confirm the PT1/8 port and M8x1.25 thread, and check the reverse-torque and mass/speed limits from the 0.5MPa chart before ordering.
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 TACQ40X45S FAQ
It provides 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 879.6N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
The -S magnet works with both reed and solid-state electronic switches. The unit carries lateral load via two guide rods, but reverse torque and mass/speed limits decrease as stroke extends; treat them as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm exact values from the datasheet.
