Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15S 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 TACQ80X15S
The AirTAC TACQ80X15S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 80mm bore and 15mm stroke. Twin chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate replace a separate linear guide, driving and supporting the load in one unit. The platform is non-rotating with a ±0.15° tolerance at the retracted position, carrying lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot handle.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of this bore since the guides add stiffness, not thrust. It delivers 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa, or 3518.5N push at 0.7MPa. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or solid-state switches. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb end-of-stroke energy, and the PT3/8 port handles pneumatic input.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15S Is Used
Heavy Pick-and-Place Head
Lifts and transfers substantial components on automated assembly lines without twisting, ensuring precise placement using the twin guide rods.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a rugged stop mechanism on material handling conveyors, absorbing lateral impact while holding heavy workpieces firmly in place.
Small Press Operation
Provides straight, guided pressing force for joining parts on industrial manufacturing equipment without needing an external linear guide.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X15S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1558.6N push at 0.5MPa, while stepping up to a 100mm bore provides 3927.0N. If lateral load support or anti-rotation is unnecessary, a plain ACQ or double-rod ACQD might fit better. When ordering, confirm the 80mm bore, 15mm stroke (under the 100mm max), the -S magnet, and PT3/8 thread. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, and apply external force concentric with the rod to prevent guide binding.
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 TACQ80X15S FAQ
The TACQ80X15S delivers 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 non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for an 80mm bore is 100mm.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral loads. The allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke, so confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and never exceed it. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers decelerate the load near stroke ends; for high kinetic energy, add an external shock absorber. The unit does not hold its load on air loss, so use an external rod lock if fail-safe holding is required.
