Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø50mm bore, 25mm 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 TACQ50X25
The AirTAC TACQ50X25 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 25mm 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. The twin-rod architecture ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position while supporting lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 981.8N push and 824.6N pull at 0.5MPa, because the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. The unit incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, speed ranges 30-500mm/s, and the PT1/4 port feeds the 20mm diameter piston rod.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TACQ datasheet. Two guide rods carry lateral load and hold rotation to ±0.15°; do not apply reverse torque beyond the datasheet limit. Confirm against the product label before installation.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore — the guide rods add stiffness, not thrust. Keep moving mass and speed within the datasheet chart (rated at 0.5 MPa).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts directly onto packaging machinery to lift and place components without rotational drift, ensuring precise vertical placement.
Vision System Slide
Positions camera inspection arrays over a moving conveyor with high lateral stability, preventing image blur from rod twist.
Assembly Press Stop
Acts as a sturdy stopper gate on an automated assembly line, absorbing side impacts while maintaining strict alignment.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50mm bore actuator, compare it against neighbours: a 40mm bore yields 628.3N push, while an 80mm bore provides 2513.2N push at 0.5MPa. If your assembly does not require anti-rotation or lateral load support, a plain ACQ cylinder saves space and cost; if you need exact synchronised movement from both sides, consider a double-rod ACQD. For this TACQ50X25, verify your stroke does not exceed the 100mm maximum, select the required thread type (PT default), and note this specific model ships without a sensor magnet. Always confirm the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, and ensure any external force is applied 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 TACQ50X25 FAQ
At 0.5MPa it provides 981.8N push and 824.6N pull; at 0.7MPa push is 1374.4N. The maximum push force is 200kgf at 1.0MPa. The dual guide rods maintain a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for this 50mm bore is 100mm.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads that a standard compact rod cannot. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions; for high-energy cycles, add an external shock absorber. There is a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases with stroke length—confirm the exact value for your setup from the datasheet and never exceed it. Also, apply external forces concentric with the rod to prevent guide damage.
