The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X25S 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.
The AirTAC TACQ80X25S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a robust 80mm bore and 25mm stroke. It integrates two 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 twin-rod mechanism ensures strict non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° while supporting lateral loads that a standard plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive thrust equals a standard ACQ of this size, as the guides add structural stiffness rather than propulsion. At 0.5 MPa it yields 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull force, scaling to 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa with a maximum 513 kgf output at 1.0 MPa. The unit includes a factory-set NBR elastomer bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and features a built-in magnet for position sensing. Air filtration to 40 um is advised, operating within 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure limits across a -20 to +70 C temperature range.

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.

| 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).
Acts as a compact pressing head on automated assembly lines, using its high thrust and rigid twin-rod platform to seat bearings without deflection.
Functions as a robust stopper gate for heavy pallets on material handling conveyors, absorbing significant lateral impact while maintaining position.
Raises and lowers heavy glass or metal panels in manufacturing cells, relying on the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance to prevent material twisting.
When sizing this 80mm bore unit, consider the 63mm option providing 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa for lighter loads, or step up to the 100mm bore delivering 3927.0 N if higher thrust is required. A plain ACQ fits applications needing only axial movement without lateral load support, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetric pushing or pulling. Verify your ordering essentials: 80mm bore, 25mm stroke (within the 100mm maximum), the -S magnet for electronic or reed switches, and PT3/8 port threads. Always confirm the specific reverse torque limit for this stroke from the datasheet and ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod.
Quick checklist
This 80mm bore double-acting 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. The stroke is 25mm, with a maximum standard stroke of 100mm for this bore. Non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods resist lateral loads but the unit does not hold position on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke increases, so confirm the exact limit from the datasheet and do not exceed it. Apply external force concentric with the rod to prevent guide binding.
