Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X30S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø50mm bore, 30mm 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 TACQ50X30S
The AirTAC TACQ50X30S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate with the base unit. This design ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and manages lateral loads that a plain rod cannot. Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust.
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 981.8 N push and 824.6 N pull, scaling to 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa with a 200 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. The unit features NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration and a built-in magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the PT1/4 port pairs with a 20 mm piston rod.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X30S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a vacuum gripper assembly for electronics assembly, ensuring the tool plate stays perfectly level during vertical component insertion.
Vision System Slide
Positions an industrial camera over a moving conveyor for quality inspection, relying on the twin rods to keep the optics free from angular drift.
Carton Stopper Gate
Functions as a heavy-duty flow control gate on a packaging line, halting corrugated boxes laterally without deflecting the mounting plate.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X30S the Right Cylinder?
For applications needing less thrust, the Ø40 bore provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø63 yields 1558.6 N. Choose this Ø50 model when your mechanism requires 981.8 N of push force alongside strict anti-rotation control. If your setup already employs an external linear guide and only needs basic thrust, a plain ACQ is more compact. When ordering, verify the 30 mm stroke is within the 100 mm maximum, specify the S magnet for sensing, and confirm PT threads. Always check that your lateral load and reverse torque remain within the charted 0.5 MPa limits, and apply external force 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 TACQ50X30S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 50 mm bore and 30 mm stroke (max standard 100 mm). It delivers 981.8 N push and 824.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, and 200 kgf max push at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
No, a standard ACQ-type guided cylinder drifts upon air loss and cannot hold a load; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. The fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate near stroke ends, so for high kinetic energy add external shock absorbers. Also, never exceed the maximum reverse torque limit or apply force non-concentric with the rod; confirm exact torque limits from the datasheet.
