Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 100mm 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 TACQ63X100
The AirTAC TACQ63X100 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This design drives and guides a load in one unit, replacing a separate linear guide. It provides a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° at the retracted position, carrying lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. The unit pushes with 1558.6N and pulls with 1401.5N at 0.5MPa. It uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. This specific model ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for adding reed or solid-state switches if needed.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100 Is Used
CNC Machine Tool Loading
Positions heavy workpieces onto machining centers with high lateral stability, ensuring the 100mm stroke places parts accurately without rod rotation.
Heavy Carton Erector
Drives a folding platen on a packaging line, using the twin guide rods to resist twisting forces during the carton forming process.
Automated Assembly Press
Applies 1558.6N of downward push at 0.5MPa to seat bearings into housings, relying on the fixed elastomer bumpers to absorb end-of-stroke impact.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63mm bore unit, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to a 50mm yields 981.8N push, while stepping up to an 80mm provides 2513.2N, both at 0.5MPa. If your application lacks lateral load or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder is more compact. For symmetrical thrust without guides, a double-rod ACQD fits better. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63mm bore, 100mm stroke (the maximum standard for this bore), PT1/4 port, and M10x1.5 rod-end thread. Because this unit lacks the S suffix, it has no sensor magnet. Always verify that your mass and speed stay within the 0.5MPa charted limits, and ensure external force remains 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 TACQ63X100 FAQ
This 63mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 1558.6N and a pull force of 1401.5N at 0.5MPa, or 2182N push at 0.7MPa. The maximum push is 318kgf at 1.0MPa. It has a 100mm stroke (the maximum standard for this bore) and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods resist lateral load, but the maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length (order-of-magnitude 3.90 to 1.61 N·m); confirm the exact value from the datasheet and do not exceed it. A plain ACQ-type does not hold its load on air loss, so install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
