The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X10 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 10mm 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 TACQ63X10 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate with the base unit. This architecture prevents platform twist to a strict ±0.15° tolerance at the 63mm bore. It carries lateral payloads a plain compact rod cannot manage, merging drive and guidance into a single assembly to eliminate a separate linear rail.
Drive output mirrors a standard ACQ of identical bore, because the twin shafts contribute stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull force, escalating to 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa. The 20mm piston rod uses a PT1/4 port, an M10x1.5 female rod-end thread, and fixed NBR bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration across its 10mm travel.

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 | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 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).
Holds a gripper firmly against rotational twist while transferring components between CNC machining stations without needing an external linear guide.
Acts as a rigid physical barrier on packaging lines, absorbing side impacts from moving product carriers thanks to the dual chromed support rods.
Provides a short 10mm pressing action for inserting pins on electronics assembly equipment, relying on the non-rotating plate for precision alignment.
When sizing this 63mm bore, the adjacent 50mm unit provides 981.8 N push, while the larger 80mm delivers 2513.2 N at 0.5 MPa. If your payload demands no anti-rotation or lateral support, a plain ACQ saves space; if equal force both directions is required, a double-rod ACQD fits better. To order, confirm the 63mm bore, 10mm stroke (within the 100mm max), and PT thread. Since this specific unit lacks the S magnet, reed or solid-state switches will not function without modification. Always verify your mass and speed stay under the 0.5 MPa charted limits, and confirm the reverse torque from the datasheet to prevent guide damage.
Quick checklist
This 63mm bore cylinder delivers 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT1/4 port, a 20mm piston rod, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke available for this bore is 100mm.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral payloads and prevent twisting. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke length increases, so treat the limit as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Fixed NBR bumpers decelerate the motion at stroke ends; for high kinetic energy, slow the approach or add external shock absorbers. Ensure external force is applied concentric with the rod.
