The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X35S 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 TACQ63X35S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder equipped with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. By integrating driving and guiding into one unit, it replaces a separate linear guide while maintaining a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15° at the retracted position. A built-in magnet (-S) allows tracking via reed or solid-state switches.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of the same bore, meaning the twin rods add structural stiffness rather than extra 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. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, and the unit is rated for operating pressures between 0.15-1.0 MPa with speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

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.

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).
Drives a gripper on a packaging line, using the twin guide rods to keep the tool plate perfectly parallel during vertical placement of heavy cartons.
Applies 1558.6 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa to seat bearings into housings on an automated assembly fixture without lateral deflection.
Acts as a rigid stop mechanism on a conveyor, leveraging the lateral load capacity to halt heavy product pallets securely.
Selecting this 63mm bore with a 35mm stroke is ideal when your application requires substantial thrust plus anti-rotation stability. If you need less force, stepping down to a 50mm bore yields 981.8 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to an 80mm bore provides 2513.2 N push. A plain ACQ fits if no lateral load or rotational control is needed, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetric guiding. Verify ordering essentials: bore, stroke under the 100mm max, the S magnet option, and PT1/4 ports. Always check the mass/speed limits and reverse torque chart at 0.5 MPa, applying external forces concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding guide limits.
Quick checklist
It 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 bore is 63mm with a 35mm stroke (max standard 100mm). It features a PT1/4 port, an M10x1.5 rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads a plain compact rod cannot. The allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke (order-of-magnitude roughly 3.90 down to 1.61 N·m for this bore), so confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. Do not exceed this torque, and note the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
