Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 45mm 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 TACQ63X45
The AirTAC TACQ63X45 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 63mm bore and 45mm stroke. It integrates twin chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The non-rotating accuracy is held to ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the twin rods add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull, scaling to 2182N push at 0.7 MPa with a 318 kgf maximum push at 1.0 MPa. It uses a PT1/4 port, an M10x1.5 female rod-end thread, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45 Is Used
CNC Lathe Loader
Serves as a pick-and-place head for heavy bar stock, using the dual guide rods to maintain exact ±0.15° orientation during chuck insertion.
PCB Test Fixture
Drives a multi-probe testing plate downward onto circuit boards, relying on the lateral load capacity to prevent binding across the 45mm travel.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty stop mechanism on an assembly line conveyor, absorbing side impacts while holding position firmly without twisting.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63mm bore unit, consider the adjacent options: the 50mm bore provides 981.8N push, while the 80mm bore offers 2513.2N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application does not require anti-rotation or lateral load support, a plain ACQ cylinder suffices; if equal force on both strokes is needed, a double-rod ACQD is better. For this TACQ63X45, verify the 45mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, confirm PT thread preference, and note this specific unit ships without the -S sensor magnet. Always check the mass and speed limits, and ensure applied external force remains concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding reverse torque limits.
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 TACQ63X45 FAQ
This 63mm bore, 45mm stroke cylinder provides 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm. Twin guide rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke increases; for this bore it is roughly 3.90 N·m down to 1.61 N·m, but you must confirm the exact value from the datasheet. This specific model ships without the -S magnet, though the body retains sensor grooves for adding reed or solid-state switches if needed later.
