Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25S 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 TACQ50X25S
The AirTAC TACQ50X25S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder with a 50mm bore and 25mm stroke. Twin chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate replace a separate linear guide, driving and supporting the load in one unit. The platform is non-rotating to ±0.15° at the retracted position. Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore: the guides add stiffness, not thrust.
Equipped with an S-suffix magnet, the unit works with reed or electronic solid-state switches in its dedicated grooves. It generates 981.8N push and 824.6N pull at 0.5MPa, with a 200kgf maximum push at 1.0MPa. The PT1/4 port and M10x1.5 female rod-end thread simplify integration. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load at stroke ends rather than adjustable air cushions.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Handles vertical component placement on PCB assembly lines where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance prevents part misalignment during transit.
Vision Camera Slide
Positions inspection cameras over moving packaging conveyors, using the twin guide rods to maintain optical focus against lateral drift.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid height stop for incoming pallets on material handling conveyors, absorbing side impacts that a standard compact rod cannot withstand.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X25S the Right Cylinder?
For 981.8N push at 0.5MPa, stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628.3N, while a 63mm bore provides 1558.6N. Choose this 50mm unit when your load demands high lateral rigidity alongside that mid-range thrust. A plain ACQ fits if no anti-rotation or lateral load support is needed; a double-rod ACQD suits higher torque if the load cannot be kept concentric with the rod. Confirm ordering essentials: 50mm bore, 25mm stroke (max 100mm), S magnet, and PT thread. Always check the reverse torque and mass/speed limits charted at 0.5MPa for your setup.
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 TACQ50X25S FAQ
The cylinder provides 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 standard stroke limit for a 50mm bore is 100mm. Twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
No, a standard ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load on air loss, and the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Also, never exceed the maximum allowable reverse torque; confirm the exact value for your 25mm stroke from the datasheet.
