Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø63mm bore, 50mm 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 TACQ63X50
The AirTAC TACQ63X50 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This configuration drives and guides a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. The twin rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides contribute stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 1558.6 N of push force and 1401.5 N of pull force. The unit features a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and integrated sensor grooves, though this specific configuration ships without a 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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50 Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a vertical gripper assembly on an electronics assembly line, using the dual guide rods to prevent platform twist during rapid component placement.
PCB Conveyor Gate
Acts as a stopper gate on a printed circuit board transport system, holding heavy panels steady against lateral product flow.
Small Press Platen
Provides guided downward pressing force for bearing insertion on a small motor assembly machine, ensuring the platen stays perfectly parallel.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 63 mm bore actuator, compare its 1558.6 N push force at 0.5 MPa against the 40 mm bore yielding 628.3 N and the 80 mm bore yielding 2513.2 N. If your application only requires straightforward axial movement without lateral load resistance, a plain ACQ cylinder is more cost-effective. Conversely, if equal force on both strokes is needed, consider a double-rod ACQD. Confirm your ordering essentials: 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke (within the 100 mm maximum), PT1/4 port, and M10x1.5 rod-end thread. Always verify the lateral load and reverse torque limits, which decrease as stroke length increases, against the official datasheet.
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 TACQ63X50 FAQ
This double-acting cylinder has a 63 mm bore and a 50 mm stroke (maximum standard is 100 mm). It generates 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 two chromed carbon steel guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The dual guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads that a standard compact rod cannot. However, there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and a mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5 MPa) that decreases with stroke length; confirm the exact value from the datasheet. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion. Apply external force concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding the reverse torque limit.
