Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X45
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X45 is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 45mm 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 TACQ80X45
The AirTAC TACQ80X45 is a double-acting, JIS compact guided cylinder featuring an 80mm bore and a 45mm stroke. Two chromed carbon steel guide rods paired with a fixing plate prevent platform rotation to a tight ±0.15° tolerance. This integrated drive-and-guide architecture replaces bulky external linear rails while carrying lateral loads a plain rod cannot withstand.
Drive output matches a standard ACQ of the same size since the guides add structural stiffness rather than thrust. At 0.5 MPa it generates 2513.2 N of push force and 2267.8 N of pull force. The unit uses a PT3/8 port, a 25mm piston rod, and fixed NBR elastomer bumpers for end-of-stroke deceleration. Keep applied external force concentric with the rod to avoid binding.

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 | — |

Where the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X45 Is Used
Heavy Press Head
Drives a 2513.2 N pressing assembly on an automotive gasket line, utilizing the twin guide rods to maintain strict parallelism under offset loads.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a heavy-duty flow control gate on packaging conveyors, where the ±0.15° non-rotating tolerance ensures the stopper blade remains perfectly aligned.
Large Component Lift
Raises substantial machined castings between machine stations, replacing a separate linear guide by carrying the lateral bending moments directly.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X45 the Right Cylinder?
For slightly lower thrust, the 63mm bore provides 1558.6 N push at 0.5 MPa, while the 100mm bore yields 3927.0 N for heavier demands. If your application only requires straightforward axial movement without lateral load support or anti-rotation, a plain ACQ cylinder is more economical. Conversely, if work needs equal force from both directions, consider a double-rod ACQD. When ordering this unit, verify the 45mm stroke is within the 100mm maximum, select PT threading, and note this specific SKU ships without a magnet. Always check the mass and speed limits plus the reverse torque constraints charted at 0.5 MPa before finalizing.
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 TACQ80X45 FAQ
This 80mm bore cylinder delivers 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 3518.5 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum push of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, an M16x2.0 rod-end thread, a maximum standard stroke of 100 mm, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods allow it to bear lateral loads that a standard compact rod cannot. However, the maximum allowable reverse torque decreases as stroke length increases; for an 80mm bore it is roughly 11.85 N·m at 10 mm down to 5.77 N·m at 100 mm. Treat this as an order-of-magnitude guide and confirm the exact limit for your setup from the official datasheet.
