Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X100S 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 TACQ80X100S
The AirTAC TACQ80X100S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating a standard ACQ body with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This configuration drives and guides a load simultaneously, replacing a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° for this 80mm bore, managing lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot support.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it yields 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull, reaching 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit features a PT3/8 port, an M16x2.0 female rod-end thread, and a 25mm piston rod. Deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, and the included -S magnet enables position sensing with reed or solid-state switches.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X100S Is Used
Heavy Press Assembly
Applies stable downward clamping force on machining fixtures, utilizing the twin guide rods to resist offset loads and prevent plate deflection during component seating.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopper arm on automated packaging lines, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to halt heavy product flow without lateral deflection.
Multi-Axis Handling
Functions as the vertical Z-axis on automated material handling machines, lifting substantial payloads while the integrated guides maintain strict parallelism.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X100S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore with a 100mm stroke provides maximum standard travel for the series, delivering 2513.2N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 63mm bore offers 1558.6N push, while moving up to a 100mm bore provides 3927.0N push. A plain ACQ fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation guidance is needed, and a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust layouts. Confirm ordering essentials: bore, stroke up to the 100mm limit, the -S magnet, and PT thread. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits charted at 0.5 MPa from the datasheet, and ensure external forces remain 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 TACQ80X100S FAQ
This 80mm bore, 100mm stroke cylinder delivers 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push capacity of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The -S magnet works with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impact, though external shock absorbers are recommended for high energy. It will not hold its load on air loss; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. Do not exceed the reverse torque limit, which decreases with stroke—confirm the exact value from the datasheet.
