Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20S 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 TACQ63X20S
The AirTAC TACQ63X20S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 20mm stroke. Two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°, allowing the unit to drive and guide a load simultaneously while carrying lateral forces a plain rod cannot manage.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the twin rods add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull, with a maximum push capacity of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It includes a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and, with the built-in S magnet, supports both reed and solid-state sensors.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a gripper assembly with high lateral load capacity, maintaining precise vertical alignment without twisting during component transfer.
PCB Press Fixture
Applies 1558.6 N of downward force at 0.5 MPa to seat electronic connectors, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance for even contact.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid blocking mechanism on a production line, absorbing side impacts thanks to the dual chromed carbon steel guide rods.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63mm bore actuator, compare it against the 50mm option (981.8 N push @0.5 MPa) for lighter loads, or the 80mm variant (2513.2 N push @0.5 MPa) if your application requires more thrust. A standard ACQ fits if external linear rails already provide anti-rotation, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical pulling. Confirm your ordering needs: 63mm bore, 20mm stroke (within the 100mm maximum), S magnet for sensors, and PT1/4 port threads. Always verify lateral load and reverse torque limits, which decrease as stroke extends—check the official datasheet for exact values.
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 TACQ63X20S FAQ
This double-acting 63mm bore cylinder provides 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 standard stroke limit is 100mm, and the twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed guide rods support lateral loads but have a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5 MPa) that decreases with stroke length; confirm exact values from the datasheet. The included S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches, and the fixed elastomer bumper decelerates near stroke end without holding the load on air loss.
