Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50S 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 TACQ63X50S
The AirTAC TACQ63X50S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating a 63mm bore ACQ body with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This design drives and guides a payload simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. It delivers a push force of 1558.6N at 0.5MPa, matching the thrust of a standard ACQ, while the twin rods add structural stiffness rather than extra drive power.
Engineered for precision, the platform restricts rotation to ±0.15° at the retracted position, handling lateral loads a plain compact rod cannot. The unit features a PT1/4 port, a 20mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration. Equipped with a built-in magnet (-S), the dovetail grooves accept both reed and solid-state electronic switches for position sensing.

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 | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 318 kgf | |
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).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50S Is Used
Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a heavy gripper assembly on an automated assembly line, maintaining strict ±0.15° orientation while transferring parts between stations.
PCB Pressing Station
Applies 1558.6N of downward clamping force on an electronics production line, using the twin guide rods to prevent angular deflection during the press cycle.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust routing stopper for heavy pallets on a packaging conveyor, absorbing lateral side-impacts without bending the primary piston rod.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ63X50S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63mm bore with a 50mm stroke is optimal when your application requires substantial thrust alongside anti-rotation stability. Stepping down to a 50mm bore drops the 0.5MPa push force to 981.8N, whereas scaling up to an 80mm bore yields 2513.2N. If your payload only needs linear motion without strict rotational control, a plain ACQ cylinder saves space and cost; similarly, an ACQD double-rod unit offers symmetrical thrust if equal push and pull forces are required. When ordering the TACQ63X50S, verify the 50mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, confirm the PT thread requirement, and ensure your lateral load and reverse torque stay within the charted 0.5MPa 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 TACQ63X50S FAQ
At 0.5MPa, it provides 1558.6N push and 1401.5N pull force, increasing to 2182N push at 0.7MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 318kgf at 1.0MPa. The port size is PT1/4. The twin guide rods hold a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for a 63mm bore is 100mm.
It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end rather than adjustable air cushions, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy loads. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches via the body grooves. Always apply external force concentric with the rod and avoid exceeding the maximum allowable reverse torque, which decreases as stroke length increases—confirm the exact limit from the datasheet.
