Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X175S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X175S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 175mm 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 TCL100X175S
The AirTAC TCL100X175S is a JIS-standard double-acting guided twin-rod cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. It generates 3927 N of push and 3682 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it a heavy-duty choice for substantial actuation. The integrated guide unit uses Ø30 mm guide rods alongside a Ø25 mm centre piston rod, completely removing the need to align an external linear rail.
Because the bearing uses precision steel balls, travel is smooth and free of the stick-slip friction found in plain bushings, which is vital for high-cycle vertical lifts. The guide restricts rotation to a tight ±0.04° tolerance, keeping heavy tooling 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 in the four body 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 TCL100X175S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Using its 5498 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, this cylinder halts loaded pallets on a conveyor, while the steel-ball bearing handles the radial impact without external guides.
Large Welding Fixture Actuation
The Ø30 guide rods and ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keep heavy welding clamps perfectly aligned during 175 mm strokes on automated automotive frames.
Tool Carriage Vertical Lift
Low-friction linear ball bearings ensure smooth, stick-slip-free vertical lifting of a 801 kgf-class tooling carriage, with 3/8" ports supplying ample airflow for rapid 50-400 mm/s cycles.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X175S the Right Cylinder?
If you are sizing this actuator, consider the adjacent options: the Ø80 bore provides 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the Ø100 model here delivers 3927 N. If your application involves severe impact or highly dusty radial loads, the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing is the better choice. For vertical loads, note that this unit will drift down if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. To replace this SKU, specify bore 100, stroke 175, 3/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet.
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 TCL100X175S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N of push and 3682 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 5498 N, with a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 50-400 mm/s.
There is no adjustable air cushion; each end of stroke relies on a fixed TPU rubber bumper. Additionally, the guide prevents rotation but does not resist gravity, so the rod will drift if air pressure drops unless you fit an external rod lock.
