Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 10mm 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 TACQ80X10
The AirTAC TACQ80X10 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, directly replacing a separate linear guide. The twin-rod architecture ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, managing lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot withstand.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it provides 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull force. This 80mm bore unit uses a PT3/8 port, a Ø25mm piston rod, and relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10 Is Used
Short-Stroke Press Head
Applies 2513 N of guided clamping force on an assembly fixture, ensuring the press plate stays perfectly parallel during a 10mm work cycle.
Heavy Pallet Stopper Gate
Halts large pallets on a packaging line; the twin guide rods absorb the high side-impact energy without deflecting the main piston rod.
Component Reject Pusher
Ejects faulty heavy products from a conveyor belt precisely, maintaining exact angular orientation so downstream catch bins align correctly.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore, dropping to a 63mm unit reduces push force to 1558.6 N at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to 100mm raises it to 3927.0 N. A plain ACQ fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation is required, and a double-rod ACQD suits higher side-load moments. To order, verify the 10mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, and specify PT thread. Always check the mass/speed chart and reverse-torque limits at 0.5 MPa before finalizing.
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 TACQ80X10 FAQ
It delivers 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The port size is PT3/8, the rod end thread is M16x2.0, and the non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral loads directly, protecting the piston. Max reverse torque decreases with stroke length; for this 10mm stroke it is roughly 11.85 N·m, but confirm the exact value from the datasheet. End stops use a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable cushion. Do not exceed the reverse torque limit, apply external force concentric with the rod, and note it will not hold the load on air loss without an external rod lock.
