Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X35
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X35 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø50mm bore, 35mm 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 TACQ50X35
The AirTAC TACQ50X35 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 50mm bore and 35mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and support a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear rail. The twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position while accommodating lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot handle.
Drive force equals that of a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers a push force of 981.8 N and a pull force of 824.6 N. The unit uses a PT1/4 port, features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, and includes magnetic-switch grooves for position sensing. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, with a maximum speed of 500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X35 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Mounts small grippers for electronic component handling, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance keeps the jaw perfectly aligned during vertical placement.
Vision Camera Slide
Translates an inspection camera across a PCB assembly line; the integrated guide rods maintain precise camera angle without needing a separate linear guide.
Carton Stopper Gate
Acts as a pneumatic stopper on a packaging conveyor, using the lateral-load capability to halt heavy boxes while the fixed elastomer bumper cushions the impact.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X35 the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to a 40mm bore yields 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 63mm bore provides 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa. Choose this 50mm bore when your application requires roughly a kilonewton of force plus rigid anti-rotation guidance. If your load does not induce lateral forces or torque, a plain ACQ50 cylinder suffices; if you need symmetrical force from both sides, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering, verify the 35mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify PT thread, and note this specific model ships without a magnet. Always confirm the reverse torque limit from the datasheet and ensure external forces are applied concentrically with the piston 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 TACQ50X35 FAQ
The TACQ50X35 has a 50mm bore and 35mm stroke. It 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 port size is PT1/4, the rod-end thread is M10x1.5, and the non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads, but there is a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases with stroke length (order-of-magnitude 1.70 N·m down to 0.67 N·m for this bore) and a mass/speed limit charted at 0.5 MPa; always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and do not exceed it. This specific model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state sensors if needed.
