Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X10 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø50mm bore, 10mm 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 TACQ50X10
The AirTAC TACQ50X10 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This setup drives and guides a payload simultaneously, replacing a separate linear guide while maintaining a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. It handles lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot support.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it pushes 981.8 N and pulls 824.6 N. The unit features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and operates on PT1/4 porting. Body sensor grooves are present, but this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X10 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for transferring heavy electronic components, keeping the gripper precisely aligned without rotational drift during the vertical downstroke.
Panel Pressing Station
Provides stable downward clamping on assembly lines, utilizing the twin guide rods to absorb off-center loads during brief 10mm pressing actions.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rugged halt mechanism on packaging conveyors, relying on the lateral load capacity to repeatedly stop moving pallets without deflecting.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X10 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 50mm bore with a 10mm stroke works well for short, stiff transfers. If you need less force, stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier loads, an 80mm bore provides 2513.2 N push. If your application requires no lateral load support or anti-rotation, a plain ACQ saves space, while a double-rod ACQD offers superior symmetrical thrust. Confirm ordering essentials: 50mm bore, 10mm stroke (under the 100mm max), PT thread, and no magnet. Always verify the mass and speed limits, and ensure external loads remain concentric with the rod axis to avoid exceeding reverse torque limits.
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 TACQ50X10 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 981.8 N and pull is 824.6 N. Push at 0.7 MPa is 1374.4 N, with a maximum push of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is PT1/4. Twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm.
Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends; for a 50mm bore, it is roughly 1.70 N·m at 10mm, but confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Never apply external torque beyond this limit. The cylinder uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. Note that it will not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
