Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 15mm 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 TACQ80X15
The AirTAC TACQ80X15 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a robust 80mm bore and a 15mm stroke. It integrates twin 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 platform guarantees non-rotating movement with a strict ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of this size, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. It generates 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, scaling to 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa. The unit uses a PT3/8 port, a Ø25mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at each end to decelerate loads near stroke extremes.

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 | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 2513.2N of precise downward force for assembling bearings or pins in automotive machinery, relying on the twin guide rods to prevent deflection.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a heavy-duty stopper on high-mass conveyor lines, using the rigid fixing plate and anti-rotation properties to halt pallets securely.
Multi-Axis Pick Head
Serves as a stable vertical pick-and-place head for large industrial components, ensuring the gripper remains perfectly aligned without external linear guides.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: the 63mm yields 1558.6N push, while the 100mm provides 3927.0N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this specific 15mm stroke model for short, heavy-duty pressing or clamping tasks requiring immense lateral stability. If your application only needs basic linear motion without anti-rotation constraints, a plain ACQ80 cylinder suffices. Conversely, if equal push and pull forces are required on both ends, a double-rod ACQD80 is preferable. Confirm ordering essentials (bore, stroke <= 100mm max, PT thread) and always verify that your anticipated reverse torque and mass/speed limits fall within the 0.5 MPa charted boundaries.
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 TACQ80X15 FAQ
This 80mm bore cylinder provides 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, a maximum standard stroke of 100mm, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Twin 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 length; for the 80mm bore, this is on the order of several N·m, but you must confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Ensure external force is concentric with the rod and never apply reverse torque above the limit.
