Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100S 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 TACQ50X100S
The AirTAC TACQ50X100S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 100mm stroke. Two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate enable non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°, absorbing lateral loads that would wreck a plain rod. This unit combines drive and guidance in one body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the rods add stiffness rather than thrust. The integrated -S magnet pairs with reed or solid-state switches via built-in grooves. End-of-stroke energy is managed by fixed NBR bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. For rapid cycling, adding an external shock absorber is advised to protect the assembly.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a gripper on a packaging line, using the twin guide rods to maintain exact tool orientation during vertical transfers.
Vision Sensor Slide
Positions a camera over an electronics PCB, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance for repeatable imaging.
Assembly Press Gate
Acts as a stopper on a machining conveyor, halting heavy workpieces while absorbing lateral impact.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X100S the Right Cylinder?
This 50mm bore generates 981.8N push and 824.6N pull at 0.5MPa. Stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628.3N push, while a 63mm bore offers 1558.6N push. Choose this model when your payload requires exact anti-rotation and lateral load support. If the application only needs basic linear movement without lateral resistance, a plain ACQ saves space. For higher eccentric loads, consider a double-rod ACQD. Confirm the 100mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify PT1/4 ports, and verify the reverse torque limit 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 TACQ50X100S FAQ
It delivers 981.8N push and 824.6N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374.4N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 200kgf at 1.0MPa. The stroke is 100mm (the maximum standard for this bore). Twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The -S magnet works with reed or electronic switches in the standard grooves. The fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the load near stroke ends but do not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Max allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke—confirm the exact limit for your setup from the datasheet and do not exceed it.
