Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X10S 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.

About the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X10S
The AirTAC TACQ63X10S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 10mm stroke. It integrates twin chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The integrated design provides a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, handling lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot support.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull force, scaling to 2182N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes a built-in magnet (-S) compatible with reed or solid-state switches. Ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod to prevent guide binding.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X10S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives an assembly pick-and-place head with heavy lateral loading, relying on the twin chromed guide rods to prevent platform rotation during component transfer.
Press Stopper Gate
Acts as a stopper gate on automated stamping presses, using the 1558.6N push force and rigid fixing plate to halt material feed accurately.
Multi-Sensor Slide
Positions a multi-sensor inspection slide on a packaging line, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance ensures precise camera alignment over passing product.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X10S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore with a 10mm stroke offers high force in a very compact retracted length. If your application requires less thrust, the adjacent smaller 50mm bore provides 981.8N push at 0.5 MPa. For higher force demands, the 80mm bore offers 2513.2N push. A plain ACQ cylinder fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation is required, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust or equal extension forces. Confirm ordering essentials: 63mm bore, 10mm stroke, S magnet, and PT1/4 port. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, as these decrease with stroke length.
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 TACQ63X10S FAQ
It delivers 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The max standard stroke is 100mm. The twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods carry lateral loads a plain rod cannot. There is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5 MPa) that decreases with stroke; confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Do not apply reverse torque above this limit and keep external force concentric with the rod.
