Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X45S 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 TACQ50X45S
The AirTAC TACQ50X45S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate with a standard 50mm bore body. This configuration drives and guides a load simultaneously, actively replacing a separate linear guide. It restricts rotational movement to a tight ±0.15° tolerance and safely handles lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot support.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 981.8 N push and 824.6 N pull, rising to 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion, and the -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X45S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Maintains strict ±0.15° non-rotation during vertical component placement on PCB assembly lines, absorbing lateral shifting forces without needing an external linear guide.
Carton Flap Folder
Drives the folding mechanism on packaging conveyors with 981.8 N thrust at 0.5 MPa, relying on the twin guide rods to resist side-loading from uneven cardboard resistance.
Vision Camera Slide
Positions inspection cameras on electronic manufacturing equipment with high repeatability, using the integrated guide rods to prevent platform drift during rapid 45mm excursions.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X45S the Right Cylinder?
Select the TACQ50X45S when your mechanism requires precise 45mm travel with high lateral stiffness and anti-rotation. If you need less thrust, the adjacent Ø40 bore provides 628.3 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø63 bore offers 1558.6 N push. For applications lacking lateral or moment loads, a plain ACQ saves space and weight, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust needs. When ordering, verify the 50mm bore, 45mm stroke (under the 100mm maximum), the -S magnet for sensor tracking, and PT1/4 porting. Always confirm the maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet for your specific stroke, and ensure any external force is applied 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 TACQ50X45S FAQ
This double-acting 50mm bore cylinder provides 981.8 N push and 824.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 1374.4 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The 45mm stroke is within the 100mm standard maximum for this bore. Twin guide rods restrict rotation to a ±0.15° tolerance.
The dual chromed guide rods support lateral loads that a plain rod cannot, but there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit that decreases with stroke length—confirm the exact order-of-magnitude value from the datasheet. Do not apply reverse torque above this limit. Note that the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near stroke end; it will not hold the load on air loss, so use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
