Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X50 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø50mm bore, 50mm 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 TACQ50X50
The AirTAC TACQ50X50 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This setup drives and guides your payload simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear rail. The twin-rod architecture ensures strict non-rotation accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position while bearing lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot handle.
Drive thrust remains identical to a standard ACQ series of the same bore size, as the integrated shafts add structural stiffness rather than extra piston area. You get 981.8N push and 824.6N pull at 0.5MPa, alongside a fixed elastomer NBR bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. This specific configuration ships without a magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for future upgrades.

|---|---|
| Series | TACQ JIS guided compact cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Stroke | 50 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, guided (non-rotating) |
| Non-rotating tolerance | ±0.15° |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
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 TACQ50X50 Is Used
CNC Fixture Clamp
Secures heavy aerospace billets on a machining center, utilizing the lateral load capacity to resist cutting forces without deflecting.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid physical stop barrier on a 50kg assembly line, holding workpieces firmly in place against downstream queue pressure.
Carton Press Head
Folds and secures corrugated container flaps on an automated packaging line, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance for precise alignment.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ50X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare its 981.8N push @0.5MPa against the smaller Ø40 bore providing 628.3N, or the larger Ø63 bore delivering 1558.6N. If your mechanism already utilizes an external linear guide and purely needs raw thrust without anti-rotation, a plain ACQ series cylinder suffices. Conversely, if you require equal force on both extension and retraction, a double-rod ACQD series is preferable. To order, confirm the 50mm bore, 50mm stroke (within the 100mm maximum), PT1/4 port, and M10x1.5 rod-end thread. Always verify your specific mass and speed limits, and confirm the allowable reverse torque from the datasheet.
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 TACQ50X50 FAQ
This 50mm bore unit 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. The standard stroke limit is 100mm, with a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke length increases; always confirm the exact limit for your 50mm stroke from the official datasheet. A plain ACQ body does not hold its load upon air loss, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
