Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø50mm bore, 100mm 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 TACQ50X100
The AirTAC TACQ50X100 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder with a 50mm bore and 100mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. This unit carries lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot withstand.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering a push of 981.8N and pull of 824.6N at 0.5MPa. The twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. It features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes sensor grooves, though this specific model ships without a magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa.

Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Maintains precise vertical alignment for component insertion on electronics assembly lines without twisting under lateral load.
Panel Pressing Jig
Provides even downward clamping force on fabrication machinery, ensuring flat contact while resisting offset loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid stop mechanism on material handling conveyors, holding heavy pallets steady without rod rotation.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 50mm bore requires confirming the 100mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum limit. If your application needs less thrust, the 40mm bore provides 628.3N push at 0.5MPa; for higher force, the 63mm bore offers 1558.6N. A plain ACQ fits if lateral load and anti-rotation are not required. When ordering, verify the PT1/4 port, M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and whether you need the S magnet suffix for position sensing. Always check the mass and speed limits charted at 0.5MPa, and ensure applied reverse torque stays below the allowable threshold—confirm exact values from the datasheet.
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 TACQ50X100 FAQ
This 50mm bore double-acting cylinder delivers a push force of 981.8N and a pull force of 824.6N at 0.5MPa, reaching 1374.4N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. The twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration, not adjustable air cushions; add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. A standard ACQ does not hold its load on air loss, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Also, ensure external force is concentric with the rod and never exceed the reverse torque limit, which decreases with stroke—confirm the exact value from the datasheet.
