Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 15mm 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 TACQ63X15
The AirTAC TACQ63X15 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating a 63mm bore body with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This configuration drives and guides a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. The twin-rod mechanism ensures strict non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive output mirrors a standard ACQ of equivalent size, as the guides contribute structural stiffness rather than additional thrust. At 0.5 MPa operating pressure, it generates 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force, peaking at a maximum push capacity of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. Note that this specific configuration ships without a sensor magnet, though the body retains magnetic-switch grooves for future upgrades.

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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for mounting multi-nozzle suction cups on automated packaging lines where maintaining exact vertical alignment during descent is critical.
Pneumatic Stopping Gate
Functions as a robust stopper on assembly conveyors, leveraging the twin guide rods to absorb heavy side impacts from moving pallets.
Component Pressing Station
Executes short 15mm insertion strokes for bearing alignment in small motor manufacturing, relying on the stable fixing plate for precise pressing.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this unit, compare its 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores: stepping down to a 50mm yields 981.8 N, while moving up to an 80mm provides 2513.2 N. If your application only requires straightforward axial movement without lateral load resistance or anti-rotation control, a plain ACQ series cylinder is a more cost-effective choice. For tasks needing equal force in both directions, consider a double-rod ACQD model. Confirm your ordering parameters carefully, including the 15mm stroke (well within the 100mm maximum), PT1/4 port size, and female M10x1.5 rod-end thread. Always verify the specific reverse torque and mass/speed limits for your stroke from the official datasheet, and ensure any external force is applied concentrically with the rod to prevent guide damage.
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 TACQ63X15 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder provides 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull force at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It has a 15mm stroke (maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm), a 63mm bore, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
No, a standard ACQ-type guided cylinder will drift and cannot hold a load unpowered due to air loss or a centered valve. The fixed NBR bumper only decelerates the motion near stroke end. For fail-safe vertical holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Also, never apply reverse torque above the limit specified in the datasheet.
