Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X125S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X125S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 125mm stroke on twin guide rods. Its integrated steel-ball linear bearing gives low-friction, high-precision travel — well suited to vertical lifts and high-load, high-accuracy moves, holding the tool square to ±0.04° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X125S
The AirTAC TCL100X125S is a JIS-standard double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder integrating a steel-ball linear bearing. A center drive piston runs between two robust Ø30 mm guide rods in a single unified body, eliminating the need to align a separate external linear rail. At 100 mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force and 3682 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning and lifting tasks.
Featuring a Ø25 mm piston rod and 3/8" ports, this unit relies on its steel-ball bearing to provide low-friction, high-precision travel with zero stick-slip, perfect for smooth vertical lifts. The integrated guide resists rotation to a tight ±0.04° tolerance, keeping heavy grippers or plates square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, and the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TCL/TCM series datasheet (JIS standard). Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every TC model ships with a built-in magnet for sensor switches.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max | 801 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø25 mm); the twin guide rods carry side load and torque, not thrust. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure.

Where the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X125S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Lift
Lifting loaded pallets vertically relies on the 3927 N push at 0.5 MPa and the smooth, stick-slip-free steel-ball bearing to raise heavy masses without jerking.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving large stamped metal parts uses the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance to keep a heavy gripper square under offset weight during horizontal shifts.
Press Die Loading
Sliding heavy tooling into a press benefits from the twin Ø30 mm guide rods carrying the radial load, removing the need for a separate external carriage rail.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X125S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to the Ø80 bore for roughly 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or stepping up is not an option as Ø100 is the largest available TCL size. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this linear ball unit if your application involves severe impact loads or heavily dusty radial-load environments. To replace this cylinder, specify bore 100, stroke 125, 3/8" port size, PT thread form, and the standard magnet (S).
Keep in mind that a guided cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the rod will drift downward; the guide resists rotation, not gravity. For fail-safe vertical holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This 125 mm stroke is a standard made-to-order length within the 250 mm maximum for this bore.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Side load / torque the guide must carry
- ✓ TCL (precision, low friction) vs TCM (impact, radial load)
- ✓ Stroke & mounting face (top / bottom / rear)
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check The guide unit takes side load & torque — but do not exceed the max safe load/torque for your stroke.
- check Mount from the top, bottom (screw or T-slot) or rear face; use the precision locating holes.
- check Do not disassemble the fixing block or guide unit — factory-set precision.
- check Fit CS1 / DS1 magnetic switches in the four sensor slots as needed.
Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X125S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N push and 3682 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push increases to 5498 N. The maximum theoretical force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed ranges from 50 to 400 mm/s.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. Each end of stroke lands on a fixed rubber (TPU) bumper that softens the impact stop.
