The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X35S 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.
The AirTAC TACQ50X35S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder with a 50mm bore and 35mm stroke. It features a chromed carbon steel twin guide rod and fixing plate assembly that prevents rotation to a tight ±0.15° tolerance. This structural integration lets the unit drive and guide a payload simultaneously, completely replacing the need for an external linear guide rail while carrying lateral loads a plain compact rod cannot handle.
Thrust output remains identical to a standard ACQ body of this size, as the rods add stiffness rather than drive force. It supplies 981.8N push and 824.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 200kgf at 1.0 MPa. End-of-travel deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, and the integrated -S magnet supports both reed and solid-state electronic switches.

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.
| 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).

The guide plate replaces a separate rod-thread option. Related: ACQ (plain single rod), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Drives a vertical vacuum gripper on a PCB loader without twisting, maintaining exact ±0.15° alignment during component transfer.
Positions a workpiece stopper on an aluminum milling fixture, absorbing lateral offset loads without needing a separate guide rail.
Actuates a routing flap on a logistics conveyor, using the twin guide rods to hold the panel steady against uneven box friction.
When sizing this 50mm bore unit, consider the neighboring bores: a 40mm version yields 628.3N push, while a 63mm provides 1558.6N at 0.5 MPa. If your payload requires no anti-rotation or lateral load support, a plain ACQ50 is lighter and simpler; if you need thrust from both ends, consider a double-rod ACQD. To order, verify the 35mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify PT1/4 porting, and ensure your payload's mass and speed stay within the 0.5 MPa charted limits. Always confirm the specific reverse torque limit for this stroke from the datasheet and apply external forces concentric with the rod.
Quick checklist
This 50mm bore, 35mm stroke double-acting cylinder provides 981.8N push and 824.6N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374.4N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 200kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 100mm.
Deceleration uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, not adjustable air cushions. The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Note that a standard ACQ body does not hold its load on air loss; for fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Do not exceed the reverse torque limit for this stroke; confirm the exact value from the datasheet.
