Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X50S is a genuine double-acting GUIDED compact (JIS) cylinder — a Ø80mm bore, 50mm 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 TACQ80X50S
The AirTAC TACQ80X50S is a double-acting JIS compact guided cylinder integrating two chromed carbon steel guide rods and a fixing plate. This architecture yields a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.15° at the retracted position, simultaneously driving and guiding a payload to replace an external linear guide. The integrated -S piston magnet enables position detection using either reed or solid-state electronic switches.
Drive force mirrors a standard ACQ bore 80, delivering 2513.2 N push and 2267.8 N pull at 0.5 MPa, because the twin rods add structural stiffness rather than thrust. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed by fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, requiring an external shock absorber for high kinetic loads. The PT3/8 port and M16x2.0 rod-end thread accommodate robust pneumatic connections, while the 25 mm piston rod handles heavy lateral loads within speed limits of 30-500 mm/s.

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 TACQ80X50S Is Used
Heavy-Duty Pick-and-Place
Lifts and transfers heavy metal castings on automated machining centers without rotational drift, ensuring precise placement guided by the twin chromed rods.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a robust stop mechanism on high-mass packaging conveyor lines, absorbing lateral side-impact forces that would deflect a standard compact cylinder.
Vertical Press Assembly
Provides a stable downward pressing motion for bushing insertion on automotive assembly lines, relying on the fixed NBR bumper for end-of-stroke deceleration.
Is the Airtac TACQ Guided Rod Ultra-Thin Cylinder TACQ80X50S the Right Cylinder?
This 80 mm bore generates 2513.2 N push at 0.5 MPa; sizing down to a 63 mm bore yields 1558.6 N, whereas a 100 mm bore provides 3927.0 N. Choose this specific unit when your application demands high lateral load support and strict anti-rotation that a plain ACQ cannot provide. If your mechanism already employs an independent linear rail and only needs pure thrust, a standard ACQ or a double-rod ACQD might be a lighter, more economical alternative. Confirm your ordering parameters (80 mm bore, 50 mm stroke under the 100 mm maximum, -S magnet, PT thread) and verify the allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limits from the official datasheet. Apply external forces concentric with the rod to prevent guide binding.
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 TACQ80X50S FAQ
This double-acting guided 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 force of 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It features a PT3/8 port, an M16x2.0 rod-end thread, a 25 mm piston rod, and a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.15°. The standard stroke limit for this 80 mm bore is 100 mm.
The two chromed carbon steel guide rods carry lateral loads that a plain compact rod cannot, but there is a maximum allowable reverse torque and mass/speed limit (charted at 0.5 MPa) that decreases with stroke length; you must confirm the exact value from the datasheet. Do not exceed the reverse torque limit, and ensure external loads remain concentric with the rod. End-of-stroke energy relies on fixed NBR elastomer bumpers, so add an external shock absorber for high-speed or high-inertia loads.
