Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X20S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X20S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 20mm 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 TACQ80X20S
The AirTAC TACQ80X20S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder integrated 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° at the retracted position, handling 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 provides 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull force. The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with reed or electronic solid-state switches. Fixed NBR elastomer bumpers absorb impact at stroke ends, and the PT3/8 port handles standard pneumatic input.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X20S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pressing
Applies 2513.2 N of thrust for seating bearings or stamping components on automated machinery, utilizing the rigid fixing plate to maintain parallel alignment.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Halts heavy workpiece pallets on a production line; the twin guide rods absorb the high lateral impact forces without rod deflection.
Vertical Lift Assembly
Raises and lowers heavy fixtures in packaging lines, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to prevent payload twist during transit.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X20S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80 mm bore with a 20 mm stroke offers substantial thrust, stepping up from the 63 mm bore (1558.6 N push @0.5 MPa) or down from the 100 mm bore (3927.0 N push @0.5 MPa). If your application only requires pure linear thrust without anti-rotation constraints, a plain ACQ cylinder is sufficient. For symmetrical thrust from both ends, consider a double-rod ACQD. Confirm ordering essentials: 80 mm bore, 20 mm stroke (under the 100 mm max), -S magnet, and PT thread. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, and ensure external loads are applied concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding guide capacity.
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 TACQ80X20S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, with a push force of 3518.5 N at 0.7 MPa. The maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features an 80 mm bore, a 20 mm stroke (max standard 100 mm), a PT3/8 port, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The -S suffix means a piston magnet is built-in for position sensing, compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches. The unit uses two chromed carbon steel guide rods to handle lateral loads and resist reverse torque. Reverse torque limits decrease with stroke extension, so confirm the exact allowable value from the official datasheet and do not exceed it.
