Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X35S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 35mm 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 TACQ80X35S
The AirTAC TACQ80X35S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating a standard ACQ body with two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This architecture drives and guides a load simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate linear guide while carrying substantial lateral loads. The integrated piston magnet (-S suffix) supports position sensing via reed or solid-state electronic switches.
Drive force equals a standard ACQ of the same 80mm bore, as the twin rods add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it provides 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull force, scaling to 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa. The non-rotating tolerance is ±0.15° at the retracted position. End-of-stroke deceleration is handled by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, and the unit operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X35S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pick-and-Place
Ideal for transferring substantial metal or composite parts between machining centers where strict non-rotation prevents workpiece misalignment.
Assembly Press Head
Drives bearings or pins into housings on automated lines, utilizing the twin guide rods to resist off-center pressing forces without binding.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stop mechanism on heavy material handling conveyors, absorbing significant lateral impact while maintaining precise positioning.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X35S the Right Cylinder?
This 80mm bore with a 35mm stroke fits well within the 100mm maximum standard stroke limit. If lower thrust is acceptable, a 63mm bore provides 1558.6N push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a 100mm bore yields 3927.0N push. A plain ACQ cylinder is preferable if external guide rails already manage lateral load and anti-rotation. When ordering, verify the 80mm bore, 35mm stroke, S magnet option, and PT3/8 port threads. Always confirm the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the datasheet for this specific stroke, and ensure any external load is applied 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 TACQ80X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 2513.2N and pull force is 2267.8N. At 0.7 MPa, push force is 3518.5N. The maximum push force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The twin guide rods provide a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°, and the maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot. There is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5 MPa) that decreases with stroke; confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Do not apply reverse torque above this limit. The fixed elastomer bumper decelerates near stroke end, but the cylinder will not hold a load on air loss; use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
