Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X30
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X30 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 30mm 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 TACQ63X30
The AirTAC TACQ63X30 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 30mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. The twin rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° while supporting lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot handle.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force, peaking at 318 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. The unit uses a PT1/4 port, an M10x1.5 female rod-end thread, and relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

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 TACQ63X30 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Ideal for transferring heavy components between conveyors without rotational drift, leveraging the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance for precise vertical placement.
Assembly Press Station
Provides stable 1558.6 N pressing force for seating bearings or pins, where the twin guide rods prevent binding under off-center loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a robust stopper on automated packaging lines, absorbing side impacts and holding workpieces firmly in place during processing.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X30 the Right Cylinder?
For lower force needs, the 50mm bore provides 981.8 N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the 80mm bore yields 2513.2 N. Choose this 63mm bore when your application demands 1558.6 N thrust alongside precise anti-rotation. If no lateral load or non-rotating control is required, a plain ACQ or a double-rod ACQD might fit better. When ordering, verify stroke (30mm is under the 100mm max), the PT1/4 thread, and note this specific model ships without a magnet (-S). Always confirm the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, and ensure any external force is applied 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 TACQ63X30 FAQ
The TACQ63X30 delivers 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT1/4 port, an M10x1.5 female rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this 63mm bore is 100mm.
This model uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at stroke ends, not adjustable air cushions, so add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads. It does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. The two guide rods handle lateral loads, but reverse torque limits decrease with stroke—confirm the exact order-of-magnitude limit from the datasheet and never exceed it.
