Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 20mm 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 TACQ63X20
The AirTAC TACQ63X20 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. It provides a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° at the retracted position, carrying lateral loads that a plain rod cannot handle. This integrated drive-and-guide unit replaces a separate linear guide, while the twin rods add stiffness without altering the base thrust.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa. The body incorporates magnetic-switch grooves and fixed elastomer NBR bumpers at each end. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s, and the piston rod measures Ø20 mm with a PT1/4 port.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a suction cup array with high lateral stability, ensuring the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance keeps parts precisely aligned during vertical transfer.
Multi-Slide Assembly
Acts as a combined drive and guide in a tight fixture, replacing a separate linear guide while handling 1558.6 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa.
Component Press Station
Inserts bearings on an automated line using the fixed elastomer bumper to absorb end-of-stroke impact without requiring an adjustable air cushion.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20 the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the Ø50 bore provides 981.8 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø80 bore steps up to 2513.2 N if your application demands more thrust. If lateral load support and anti-rotation are unnecessary, a plain ACQ cylinder fits better; for equal push and pull force on both strokes, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering, confirm the 63 mm bore, 20 mm stroke (within the 100 mm maximum), PT thread, and that no magnet (-S) is required. Always verify your specific mass and speed limits against the reverse torque charted at 0.5 MPa.
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 TACQ63X20 FAQ
It delivers 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The stroke is 20 mm (max standard 100 mm), with a ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance.
No, a standard ACQ-type body does not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. Also, maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke—confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and apply external force concentric with the rod.
