The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X10SG 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.
The AirTAC TACQ80X10SG 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 an external linear guide. The twin-rod mechanism ensures non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and supports lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot manage.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ of the same size, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust, yielding 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa. It uses a PT3/8 port, a 25mm piston rod, and an M16x2.0 rod-end thread. End-of-stroke deceleration relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions. The built-in -S magnet accommodates both reed and solid-state electronic sensors.

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.
| 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).

The guide plate replaces a separate rod-thread option. Related: ACQ (plain single rod), ACQD (double rod), ACQJ (adjustable stroke).
Ideal for large robotic transfer units requiring strict non-rotating control during vertical pick-and-place movements of heavy components.
Serves as a robust stopping mechanism on assembly line conveyors, absorbing significant lateral impact while maintaining position.
Provides stable pressing force for industrial joining operations, ensuring the press plate remains perfectly parallel throughout the 10mm stroke.
When sizing this 80mm unit, consider the adjacent bores: the 63mm provides 1558.6N push, while the 100mm offers 3927.0N push at 0.5MPa. If your application does not involve lateral loads or anti-rotation requirements, a plain ACQ cylinder suffices; for symmetrical pushing without guide rods, a double-rod ACQD may fit better. Verify your ordering essentials: 80mm bore, 10mm stroke (within the 100mm maximum), the -S magnet, and G thread. Always cross-check the lateral load and reverse-torque limits against the 0.5MPa chart, and ensure any external force is applied concentric with the rod to avoid binding.
Quick checklist
This 80mm bore cylinder provides 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518.5N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum push of 513kgf at 1.0MPa. The twin guide rods ensure a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
The maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length; for an 80mm bore, it is roughly 11.85N·m at 10mm. Treat this as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact value from the datasheet. End cushioning uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, so for high kinetic energy loads, use an external shock absorber. Never apply reverse torque above the limit or external force off-center.
