Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15S 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 TACQ63X15S
The AirTAC TACQ63X15S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 15mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and support a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. The platform delivers a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and handles lateral loads that a plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive thrust equals a standard ACQ of this size, as the twin rods add structural stiffness rather than propulsion. At 0.5 MPa it yields 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull, scaling to 2182N push at 0.7MPa, with a 318kgf maximum push at 1.0MPa. This unit includes the -S piston magnet for position sensing and relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration instead of adjustable air cushions.

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 | — |
| 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).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a gripper on an assembly robot while the twin guide rods maintain strict ±0.15° non-rotating accuracy during rapid vertical part transfer.
PCB Pressing Station
Applies 1558.6N of precise downward clamping force on an electronics line, relying on the fixed elastomer bumpers to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rugged lateral load-bearing stop mechanism on a packaging conveyor, halting heavy product flow without twisting or side-play.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X15S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore with a 15mm stroke provides substantial thrust in a compact footprint. If lower force is acceptable, dropping to a 50mm bore yields 981.8N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to an 80mm bore provides 2513.2N push for heavier payloads. A plain ACQ cylinder fits if your payload already has external linear rails and requires no anti-rotation resistance. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63mm bore, 15mm stroke (under the 100mm maximum), the -S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and PT1/4 ports. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, and ensure external forces remain 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 TACQ63X15S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. It features a 63mm bore, 15mm stroke (max standard 100mm), PT1/4 port, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods resist lateral loads but the unit does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends (order-of-magnitude 3.90Nm down to 1.61Nm for this bore) so confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and do not exceed it.
