Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 30mm 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 TACQ80X30S
The AirTAC TACQ80X30S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate with an 80mm bore body. This configuration prevents platform rotation to a strict ±0.15° tolerance while carrying substantial lateral loads, effectively replacing a separate linear guide by driving and supporting the payload simultaneously.
Drive output mirrors a standard ACQ of equivalent size, delivering 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa, peaking at 513kgf at 1.0MPa. The unit relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration rather than adjustable air cushions. Equipped with a piston magnet (-S), it accepts both reed and solid-state electronic switches via its integrated mounting grooves.

| Stroke | 30 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting, guided (non-rotating) |
| Non-rotating tolerance | ±0.15° |
| Port size | PT3/8 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Max standard stroke | Up to 100 mm |
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 | — |
| 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).

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30S Is Used
Heavy Pick-and-Place Head
Lifts and transfers substantial automotive or metal components without platform wobble, relying on the twin chromed rods to maintain exact positioning.
Palletizing Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust physical stop on high-speed packaging lines, absorbing lateral impacts while holding its ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance.
Assembly Press Unit
Drives bearings or pins into housings on an automated cell, using the fixed NBR bumpers to handle end-of-stroke shock without external adjustments.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X30S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80mm bore with a 30mm stroke provides massive thrust within a compact footprint. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1558.6N push at 0.5MPa, whereas upgrading to a 100mm bore provides 3927.0N push for heavier demands. A plain ACQ fits if no lateral load or anti-rotation guidance is needed, while a double-rod ACQD suits symmetrical thrust. Confirm ordering essentials: 80mm bore, 30mm stroke (under the 100mm max), S magnet, and PT3/8 threads. Always verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet, and ensure external forces remain concentric with the rod.
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 TACQ80X30S FAQ
This double-acting 80mm bore cylinder provides 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5MPa, 3518.5N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum 513kgf push at 1.0MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, an M16x2.0 rod-end thread, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The standard stroke limit for this bore is 100mm.
The -S suffix indicates a built-in piston magnet compatible with both reed and electronic solid-state switches via the body grooves. Regarding load limits, the maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke extends; for an 80mm bore, expect an order-of-magnitude range around 3 to 5 N·m. Always confirm the exact value from the official datasheet and never apply reverse torque above this limit.
