Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø40mm bore, 75mm 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 TACQ40X75
The AirTAC TACQ40X75 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 40mm bore and 75mm stroke. It integrates two stainless steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and support a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure non-rotating accuracy within ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, because the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. The unit features a PT1/8 port, an M8x1.25 rod-end thread, and a fixed elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration. This specific configuration ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding external switches if needed.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Maintains precise vertical alignment without twist during component insertion on PCB assembly lines, relying on the dual guide rods for stability.
Camera Sensor Slide
Positions vision systems for inspection on packaging machines, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance guarantees the lens stays perfectly level.
Small Press Gate
Acts as a stopper gate on a small parts press, absorbing lateral side loads while controlling workpiece entry without needing an external rail.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 40mm bore unit, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402.1N push, while stepping up to a 50mm bore provides 981.8N at 0.5MPa. If your application lacks lateral load or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder fits better, or a double-rod ACQD if equal push and pull forces are needed. Confirm your ordering essentials (40mm bore, 75mm stroke under the 100mm maximum, PT thread) and verify the lateral-load and reverse-torque limits. Reverse torque decreases with stroke length, so consult the official datasheet to confirm the exact allowable value for your setup.
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 TACQ40X75 FAQ
The drive force equals a standard ACQ: 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 two guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this 40mm bore is 100mm.
A maximum allowable reverse torque exists and decreases as stroke length increases; always confirm the exact order-of-magnitude limit from the datasheet to prevent applying torque above this threshold. For safety, apply external force concentric with the rod. Note that on air loss, the rod drifts and the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
