Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X45 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø50mm bore, 45mm 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 TACQ50X45
The AirTAC TACQ50X45 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate. It restricts platform rotation to ±0.15° at the retracted position and manages lateral loads that a plain rod cannot, replacing a separate linear guide. A 45mm stroke operates well within the 100mm maximum limit for this bore.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of identical size, as the twin rods contribute stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5MPa it yields 981.8N push and 824.6N pull, reaching 1374.4N push at 0.7MPa. The body features NBR fixed elastomer bumpers at each end and sensor grooves, though this specific unit ships without a magnet. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0MPa, with a PT1/4 port and an M10x1.5 female rod-end thread.

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 TACQ50X45 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives and aligns components on an automated assembly line, using the twin guide rods to prevent platform twist during high-speed vertical transfers.
Vision Camera Slide
Positions an inspection camera over a moving conveyor with ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy, ensuring the lens maintains its exact viewing angle.
Carton Stopper Gate
Acts as a rugged stopper arm on a packaging conveyor, absorbing side impacts and holding heavy boxes square without needing a separate linear guide.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X45 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 50mm bore provides 981.8N push at 0.5MPa; stepping down to a 40mm bore drops push to 628.3N, while a 63mm bore raises it to 1558.6N. A plain ACQ fits if your payload has external linear rails and needs no anti-rotation support, whereas a double-rod ACQD suits symmetric thrust. When ordering, verify the 45mm stroke, PT thread, and bore. You must also check the lateral-load and reverse-torque limits, which decrease over the stroke length—confirm exact values from the datasheet. For load holding during air loss, specify an external rod lock since the fixed bumper only decelerates near stroke end.
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 TACQ50X45 FAQ
This 50mm bore 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. Non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°, maximum standard stroke is 100mm, and the port size is PT1/4.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral loads and prevent platform rotation. A maximum allowable reverse torque exists and decreases as stroke extends—cite the datasheet for exact order-of-magnitude limits. Never apply reverse torque above this limit, and keep external forces concentric with the rod to prevent guide damage.
