Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X40 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 40mm 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 TACQ63X40
The AirTAC TACQ63X40 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 63 mm bore and 40 mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. This design ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and supports lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, delivering 1558.6 N push and 1401.5 N pull at 0.5 MPa, because the guide rods add stiffness rather than thrust. The unit uses a fixed elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a magnet. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15-1.0 MPa, and the PT1/4 port ensures robust pneumatic flow for industrial applications.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X40 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives and precisely guides component placement heads without rotational drift, ensuring exact vertical alignment during high-speed assembly operations.
Machine Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust machine stopper gate, leveraging the twin guide rods to absorb heavy lateral side impacts from passing workpieces on the line.
Vision System Slide
Positions camera inspection modules smoothly, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to maintain perfect camera angle across the 40 mm travel.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63 mm bore model, verify if the 50 mm bore option (981.8 N push at 0.5 MPa) is insufficient or if the larger 80 mm (2513.2 N push) is required for your load. A plain ACQ fits applications lacking lateral load, while a double-rod ACQD suits higher drive force needs. Confirm ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 40 mm stroke (within the 100 mm maximum), PT thread, and no magnet. Always check the mass/speed limits and allowable reverse torque charted at 0.5 MPa, applying external forces concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding the reverse torque limit.
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 TACQ63X40 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder 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 stroke is 40 mm (maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100 mm). Twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length; use the order-of-magnitude range as a guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Never apply reverse torque above this limit, and always apply external force concentric with the rod.
