Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75S 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 TACQ40X75S
The AirTAC TACQ40X75S 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 guide a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. The twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, handling lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot withstand.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 628.3N push and 527.8N pull at 0.5MPa, because the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. This unit includes a built-in magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state switches, and uses a fixed elastomer NBR bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0MPa, with a PT1/8 port and an M8x1.25 female rod-end thread.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a small pneumatic gripper on an electronics assembly line, using the twin guide rods to maintain exact ±0.15° orientation without twisting during vertical placement.
Vision System Slide
Positions a camera inspection module over a moving conveyor, relying on the lateral-load stiffness to prevent sensor deflection across the 75mm travel.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a physical stop mechanism on a packaging conveyor, absorbing side impacts from incoming product trays while remaining rigidly locked by the guide rods.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ40X75S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, the adjacent Ø32 bore yields 402.1N push, while the larger Ø50 bore provides 981.8N push at 0.5MPa. If your application involves pure axial loads without lateral forces or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder is more cost-effective. For symmetrical pushing from both sides, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering this TACQ40X75S, verify your stroke is within the 100mm maximum, select the -S magnet for sensing, and confirm the PT thread. Always check the mass and speed limits, ensure external forces are concentric with the rod, and do not exceed the maximum allowable reverse torque.
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 TACQ40X75S FAQ
At 0.5MPa, push force is 628.3N and pull force is 527.8N. At 0.7MPa, push force reaches 879.6N, with a maximum push capacity of 128kgf at 1.0MPa. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for a 40mm bore is 100mm.
The two stainless steel guide rods support lateral loads directly, preventing rod deflection. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke length increases and is charted at 0.5MPa; treat it as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet. The -S suffix denotes a built-in piston magnet that works seamlessly with both reed and electronic solid-state switches.
