Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10S 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 TACQ80X10S
The AirTAC TACQ80X10S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 80mm bore and 10mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide. The twin-rod architecture ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° while supporting lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot handle.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa, it provides 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull force, scaling to 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than an adjustable air cushion. The included -S magnet functions with reed or electronic solid-state switches for position sensing, and the PT3/8 port ensures robust pneumatic supply.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10S Is Used
Heavy Pick-and-Place Head
Drives a large component gripper on an automotive assembly line, relying on the twin guide rods to prevent jaw deflection under heavy lateral weight.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stopper mechanism on a conveyor system, using the high push force and rigid fixing plate to halt pallets without rotational play.
Small Assembly Press
Provides 2513.2N of pressing force for seating bearings into housings, maintaining precise vertical alignment via the chromed guide rods.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10S the Right Cylinder?
This 80mm bore unit provides 2513.2N push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping down to a 63mm bore drops push force to 1558.6N, while moving up to a 100mm bore increases it to 3927.0N. Choose this specific model when your application demands high lateral load support and strict anti-rotation within a 10mm stroke. If lateral guidance is unnecessary, a plain ACQ offers equivalent thrust in a smaller footprint; if equal force on both strokes is needed, a double-rod ACQD is better. Confirm your ordering parameters (80mm bore, 10mm stroke, S magnet, PT thread) and verify the reverse-torque and mass/speed limits from 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 TACQ80X10S FAQ
The TACQ80X10S delivers 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 513kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, an M16x2.0 rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this 80mm bore is 100mm.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to carry lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot. There is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5 MPa) that decreases with stroke; confirm the exact order-of-magnitude value from the datasheet. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper, not an adjustable air cushion, so external shock absorbers may be needed for high-energy impacts. Always apply external force concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding the reverse torque limit.
