Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X40
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X40 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 40mm 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 TACQ80X40
The AirTAC TACQ80X40 is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring a 80mm bore and 40mm stroke. It integrates two chromed carbon steel guide rods with a fixing plate to drive and guide a load simultaneously, effectively replacing a separate linear guide. The twin rods ensure non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° and provide the lateral load capacity that a plain compact rod lacks.
Drive force remains identical to a standard ACQ of this bore, as the guides add stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513.2N of push force and 2267.8N of pull force, peaking at 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The unit uses a fixed elastomer NBR bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration and includes PT3/8 ports. Body sensor grooves are present, but this specific configuration ships without a magnet.

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X40 Is Used
Multi-Spindle Drill Head
Maintains precise perpendicularity for a multi-spindle drilling unit on an automotive component line, leveraging the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance and robust lateral load capacity.
Heavy Pallet Stopper Gate
Functions as a heavy-duty stopper gate on a conveyor transporting large engine blocks, using the twin guide rods to absorb severe side impacts without deflection.
Large Container Divertor
Diverts oversized filled totes in a high-throughput distribution hub, relying on the 2513.2N push force and rigid fixing plate to shift heavy loads smoothly.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X40 the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 80mm bore actuator, stepping down to a 63mm bore yields 1558.6N push, while stepping up to a 100mm bore provides 3927.0N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application only requires straightforward axial movement without anti-rotation constraints, a plain ACQ cylinder is a more economical choice; for higher offset load stability, a double-rod ACQD might be preferable. Confirm your ordering essentials: 80mm bore, 40mm stroke (under the 100mm max), PT3/8 thread, and no magnet. Always verify the mass and speed limits, and ensure the applied reverse torque falls within the allowable range by consulting the official datasheet.
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 TACQ80X40 FAQ
This double-acting 80mm bore cylinder provides 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull at 0.5 MPa, 3518.5N 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, a 25mm piston rod, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The maximum standard stroke for this bore is 100mm.
No, a standard ACQ-type body does not hold its load on air loss; the rod drifts and the fixed NBR bumper only decelerates near stroke end. For fail-safe holding, install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Additionally, there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit that decreases with stroke length; treat these as order-of-magnitude values and confirm the exact figures from the datasheet.
