Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X30S 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 TACQ63X30S
The AirTAC TACQ63X30S 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 rigid fixing plate to deliver precise non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15°. This structural design absorbs lateral loads that would instantly damage a standard plain rod, enabling the unit to drive and guide a payload simultaneously.
Drive output mirrors a standard ACQ of equivalent size, as the twin shafts contribute stiffness rather than additional thrust. At 0.5 MPa it generates 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force, peaking at a 318 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. The body incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration, while the factory-installed S magnet enables position detection using either reed or solid-state electronic switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X30S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a pneumatic gripper on a packaging line, using the twin guide rods to maintain strict ±0.15° orientation while absorbing heavy lateral loading during rapid transfers.
PCB Pressing Station
Applies precise 1558.6 N downward clamping force at 0.5 MPa on electronic assemblies, relying on the fixed elastomer bumpers to soften the end-of-stroke impact.
Component Alignment Gate
Functions as a sturdy stopper on a conveyor, holding asymmetrical workpieces steady without rod deflection thanks to the chromed carbon steel guide shafts.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X30S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore involves verifying your force margins against neighbouring sizes. Dropping to a 50mm bore reduces the 0.5 MPa push to 981.8 N, whereas stepping up to an 80mm bore yields 2513.2 N. If your assembly does not require anti-rotation or lateral load support, a plain ACQ saves space and cost; alternatively, a double-rod ACQD provides symmetrical thrust if pulling from both sides is needed. When finalizing this TACQ63X30S, confirm the 30mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, specify PT1/4 porting, and ensure the expected reverse torque remains within the allowable order-of-magnitude range (always confirm exact values from the datasheet). Apply external loads concentric with the rod to maximize guide lifespan.
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 TACQ63X30S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder provides 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, or 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a 63mm bore, a 30mm stroke (maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm), and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral loads but have a maximum allowable reverse torque that decreases as stroke length increases (always confirm the exact limit from the datasheet). Do not apply reverse torque above this limit. For deceleration, it uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions; add external shock absorbers for high-energy loads.
