Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100S 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 TACQ63X100S
The AirTAC TACQ63X100S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder equipped with a built-in magnet for position sensing. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate with the drive unit, allowing it to carry lateral loads and prevent rotation without needing an external linear rail. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15° at the retracted state.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, rising to 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa. It features a PT1/4 port, a Ø20 mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end. The -S magnet supports both reed and electronic solid-state switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives and precisely positions heavy electronic components on a PCB assembly line, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to maintain exact angular alignment.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopper mechanism on an automated packaging conveyor, absorbing lateral side-impacts from moving goods thanks to the twin chromed guide rods.
Small Press Operation
Provides stable downward pressing force for light assembly tasks, using the fixed elastomer bumpers to decelerate the load near the stroke end.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X100S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, consider the adjacent bores: a Ø50 provides 981.8 N push, while a Ø80 yields 2513.2 N at 0.5 MPa. If your application lacks lateral forces or rotational resistance needs, a plain ACQ might suffice. For balanced push and pull forces on a guided platform, a double-rod ACQD is an alternative. Ensure your ordering details confirm the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, -S magnet, and PT thread. Crucially, verify the mass and speed limits, and confirm the exact reverse torque for this 100 mm stroke from the datasheet, as exceeding the allowable reverse torque or applying eccentric loads can damage the guide rods.
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 TACQ63X100S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 63 mm bore and a 100 mm stroke. The drive force is 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°.
No, a plain ACQ-type guided cylinder will drift if air is lost or the valve is centered; the fixed elastomer bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe load holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Also, confirm the reverse torque limit from the datasheet, as it decreases with stroke length.
