Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X40S 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 TACQ80X40S
The AirTAC TACQ80X40S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder featuring an 80mm bore and 40mm stroke. Two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate replace a separate linear guide, driving and supporting your load simultaneously. It maintains a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° while absorbing lateral forces that a plain rod cannot manage.
Drive output mirrors a standard ACQ of this size, as the twin shafts add structural stiffness rather than extra thrust. At 0.5 MPa you get 2513.2N push and 2267.8N pull, scaling to 3518.5N push at 0.7 MPa. The integrated -S piston magnet supports reed or solid-state sensors, while fixed NBR bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impacts.

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 TACQ80X40S Is Used
Press Assembly Station
Applies up to 513kgf at 1.0 MPa for seating bearings, using the rigid twin-rod plate to maintain precise vertical alignment without deflection.
Heavy Pallet Stopper
Halts large workpiece pallets on a machining line; the chromed guide shafts absorb high lateral impact without rotating the mounting plate.
Automated Welding Clamp
Positions and holds heavy steel fixtures securely in place, leveraging the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance for consistent weld gun indexing.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X40S the Right Cylinder?
For 80mm bore, 40mm stroke requirements, dropping to a 63mm bore yields 1558.6N push, whereas stepping up to 100mm provides 3927.0N at 0.5 MPa. If your assembly only needs basic linear motion without anti-rotation, a plain ACQ suffices; if equal push and pull forces are critical, consider a double-rod ACQD. Ensure your stroke does not exceed the 100mm maximum. Always verify lateral loads and reverse torque limits from the datasheet, and apply external force 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 TACQ80X40S FAQ
This 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 513kgf at 1.0 MPa. It has a 40mm stroke (max standard 100mm), a PT3/8 port, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
Two chromed carbon steel guide rods support lateral loads directly, replacing external linear guides. Maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke length increases and is charted at 0.5 MPa; treat values as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact limit from the datasheet. Never apply reverse torque above this limit.
