Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45S 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 TACQ63X45S
The AirTAC TACQ63X45S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. It integrates driving and guiding into one unit, replacing a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position and support lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot manage.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. With a 63mm bore and 45mm stroke, it yields 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull at 0.5MPa. The structure includes a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and a built-in magnet for reed or solid-state electronic switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives and precisely positions components on an automated PCB assembly line without rotational drift.
Multi-Pick Fixture
Lifts arrays of electronic parts from a conveyor, using the twin rods to maintain exact angular orientation.
Press Slide Unit
Guides a small pressing head in a packaging machine, keeping the tool strictly parallel to the workpiece.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X45S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing context, stepping down to a 50mm bore yields 981.8N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to an 80mm bore provides 2513.2N push at 0.5MPa. If your application does not involve lateral loads or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder is a simpler choice; for equal force on both sides, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering this 63mm bore model, verify the 45mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, confirm the -S magnet for sensors, and note the PT1/4 port. Always confirm the specific reverse torque limit and mass/speed parameters from the datasheet, and ensure any external force is applied concentric with the rod.
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 TACQ63X45S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 63mm bore and a 45mm stroke (maximum standard stroke is 100mm). It generates 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull at 0.5MPa, 2182N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. The two guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
A plain ACQ-type cylinder does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near the stroke end. For fail-safe holding, use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Also, there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit charted at 0.5MPa that decreases with stroke length; confirm the exact value for your setup from the datasheet and never apply reverse torque above this limit.
