Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X25
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X25 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 25mm 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 TACQ80X25
The AirTAC TACQ80X25 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating a standard ACQ body with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. By driving and guiding the load simultaneously, it eliminates the need for a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position while carrying lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot withstand.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of the same bore, as the guide shafts add stiffness rather than thrust. Operating pressure spans 0.15-1.0 MPa, and end-of-stroke deceleration relies on a fixed NBR elastomer bumper rather than an adjustable air cushion. Note that this specific configuration ships without a magnet; while the body retains sensor grooves, adding position detection requires an external switch setup. For high kinetic energy loads, implement an external shock absorber.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X25 Is Used
Heavy Press Assembly
Applies 2513.2 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa to seat bearings in automotive machining centers, utilizing the twin guide rods to prevent binding under offset loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Halts heavy pallets on packaging lines, with the chromed guide rods absorbing the high lateral impact forces that would deflect a standard compact cylinder.
Multi-Head Pick-Place
Lifts large fabricating jigs in a single non-rotating motion, maintaining a strict ±0.15° tolerance to prevent gripper misalignment during transfer.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X25 the Right Cylinder?
At 0.5 MPa this 80mm bore generates 2513.2 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force. If your application requires less thrust, the 63mm bore offers 1558.6 N push, whereas the 100mm bore provides 3927.0 N for heavier demands. A plain ACQ fits purely axial loads without lateral stress, while a double-rod ACQD suits setups needing higher torsional resistance than this single-piston unit. When ordering, verify the 25mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, confirm the PT3/8 port and M16x2.0 rod-end thread suit your plumbing, and check that the expected reverse torque and mass/speed limits are confirmed from the datasheet. Always apply external force concentric with the rod to avoid exceeding the allowable reverse torque.
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 TACQ80X25 FAQ
This 80mm bore cylinder provides 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum push of 513 kgf 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 bore is 100mm.
Like any plain ACQ-type cylinder, it does not hold its load on air loss because the rod drifts and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. The two chromed guide rods resist lateral loads, but the maximum allowable reverse torque decreases with stroke length—treat it as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact limit from the datasheet.
