Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X100
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X100 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 100mm 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 TACQ80X100
The AirTAC TACQ80X100 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate with an 80mm bore body. This configuration yields a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° while carrying lateral loads that would deflect a standard plain rod. It unifies drive and guidance into a single unit, eliminating the need for an external linear rail.
Drive output mirrors a conventional ACQ of identical bore size, as the twin shafts contribute rigidity rather than additional thrust. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513.2 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force, peaking at 513 kgf under 1.0 MPa. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions, and the 100mm stroke represents the maximum standard travel for this bore size.

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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 513 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 TACQ80X100 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing Station
Applies consistent 2513.2 N downward force to seat bearings in an automotive assembly line, relying on the twin guide rods to prevent deflection under offset loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Deploys a 100mm stroke to block heavy workpiece pallets on a packaging conveyor, absorbing lateral momentum via the rigid fixing plate without twisting.
Multi-Axis Transfer Head
Acts as a robust vertical Z-axis to lift populated electronics trays, maintaining strict ±0.15° alignment during rapid vertical traversals.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X100 the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 80mm bore provides 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; stepping down to a 63mm unit drops output to 1558.6 N, whereas a 100mm bore raises it to 3927.0 N. If your assembly does not involve lateral loading or torsional resistance, a plain ACQ cylinder offers equivalent thrust in a smaller footprint. Conversely, applications demanding equal force in both directions might suit a double-rod ACQD. When ordering, confirm the 100mm travel, PT3/8 porting, and M16x2.0 rod-end thread. You must verify that your payload's reverse torque and mass fall within the charted 0.5 MPa limits, consulting the official datasheet for exact figures.
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 TACQ80X100 FAQ
This 80mm bore unit 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. It features a PT3/8 port, an M16x2.0 rod-end thread, and a 100mm maximum standard stroke. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
No, the rod will drift if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the fixed NBR bumpers only decelerate near stroke ends. For fail-safe vertical holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, ensure any external force remains concentric with the rod and confirm your reverse torque limits from the datasheet.
