Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20SG
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20SG 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 TACQ63X20SG
The AirTAC TACQ63X20SG is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. It restricts rotation to ±0.15° and bears lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot, merging drive and guidance into one unit. The integrated piston magnet supports reed or solid-state switches.
Drive thrust equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than force. At 0.5 MPa it yields 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull, reaching 318 kgf max push at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT1/4 port, a Ø20 mm rod, fixed NBR bumpers, and operates at 30-500 mm/s.

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 TACQ63X20SG Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a gripper on an assembly line while the twin guide rods maintain strict ±0.15° non-rotation during component transfer.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rigid lateral-load-bearing stop for heavy workpieces on a conveyor, preventing unwanted deflection upon impact.
Press Insertion Tool
Pushes bearings into housings on a fabrication machine, relying on the fixed elastomer bumpers to absorb end-of-stroke energy.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X20SG the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 63 mm bore with a 20 mm stroke provides 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the 50 mm bore delivers 981.8 N push; for heavier loads, the 80 mm bore offers 2513.2 N. Select a plain ACQ if your load already has external linear guidance, or a double-rod ACQD for symmetrical thrust. Confirm your essentials: bore, stroke up to the 100 mm maximum, the S magnet, and G thread. Always verify the 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 TACQ63X20SG 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 standard stroke limit is 100 mm, and the non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods manage lateral loads, but reverse torque decreases with stroke and must be confirmed from the datasheet to avoid exceeding limits. It does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding, and apply external force concentric with the rod.
