The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X35 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 35mm 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.
The AirTAC TACQ63X35 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 35mm stroke. Twin chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate replace a separate linear guide, driving and positioning a load in one unit. The platform restricts rotation to ±0.15° at the retracted position, accommodating lateral loads a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of identical bore since the guides add stiffness, not thrust. This unit yields 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull at 0.5MPa, reaching 2182N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum 318kgf at 1.0MPa. It incorporates fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. The body contains magnetic-switch grooves, though this specific configuration ships without the internal magnet.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore — the guide rods add stiffness, not thrust. Keep moving mass and speed within the datasheet chart (rated at 0.5 MPa).

The guide plate replaces a separate rod-thread option. Related: ACQ (plain single rod), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Maintains exact vertical alignment during component placement, leveraging the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to prevent damage to delicate surface-mount leads.
Halts heavy product cartons laterally without twisting, using the dual chromed guide rods to absorb off-center impacts that would jam a standard cylinder.
Transitions an inspection camera between focal planes with high repeatability, relying on the rigid fixing plate to eliminate sensor sway during indexing.
Comparing neighbours: the 50mm bore gives 981.8N push, while the 80mm bore provides 2513.2N push at 0.5MPa, making the 63mm an optimal middle ground at 1558.6N. If your assembly does not resist twist or off-axis weight, a plain ACQ saves space; if equal push and pull on both faces is required, select a double-rod ACQD. Verify your ordering code covers the 63mm bore, 35mm stroke (under the 100mm maximum), and PT1/4 port. Always ensure external loads remain concentric with the rod and check the reverse-torque chart before finalizing.
Quick checklist
This 63mm bore unit delivers 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum 318kgf push at 1.0MPa. Non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm; this 35mm variant is well within limits.
Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke increases; for the 63mm bore it is roughly 3.90N·m at 10mm down to 1.61N·m at 100mm—confirm the exact value for your 35mm stroke from the datasheet and never exceed it. End cushions are fixed NBR bumpers, not adjustable air cushions, so add an external shock absorber for high-energy loads.
