Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X10S 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 TACQ50X10S
The AirTAC TACQ50X10S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This design secures the platform against rotation to a strict ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position. It drives and guides a payload simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide while handling lateral loads that would deflect a plain rod.
Drive thrust equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the twin rods add stiffness rather than force. At 0.5 MPa it yields 981.8 N push and 824.6 N pull, scaling to 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a 200 kgf maximum at 1.0 MPa. The 10 mm stroke unit features a PT1/4 port, a Ø20 mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers. The built-in S magnet operates with reed or solid-state switches.

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 TACQ50X10S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Lifts and transfers electronic components on an SMT line, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy to keep gripper alignment true during short vertical movements.
Camera Inspection Slide
Positions a vision sensor over a moving conveyor, using the twin guide rods to maintain lens focus and prevent angular drift despite cantilevered mounting.
Assembly Press Stopper
Acts as a rigid mechanical gate on a small pneumatic press, resisting side loads and holding position firmly via the fixed elastomer bumpers.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X10S the Right Cylinder?
For a 50 mm bore at 10 mm stroke, this unit provides 981.8 N push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 40 mm bore drops thrust to 628.3 N, while a 63 mm bore raises it to 1558.6 N. Choose the TACQ50X10S when your payload demands precise anti-rotation and lateral load support within a 100 mm maximum stroke envelope. If you only need linear thrust without guiding torque, a plain ACQ fits better. When ordering, verify the 50 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, PT thread, and S magnet. Always confirm the specific reverse torque limit and mass/speed chart from the datasheet, and ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod.
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 TACQ50X10S FAQ
This 50 mm bore cylinder delivers 981.8 N push and 824.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke is 100 mm. Twin guide rods hold the non-rotating tolerance to ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods absorb lateral loads that a standard compact rod cannot. There is a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases as stroke increases; for a 50 mm bore it is roughly 1.70 N·m at 10 mm. Always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and do not apply reverse torque above this threshold.
