Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X200S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X200S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 200mm 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 TCL100X200S
The AirTAC TCL100X200S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder engineered for heavy-duty linear motion. A central drive piston runs between two robust guide rods within a single integrated body, completely eliminating the need for an external linear slide. Fitted with a steel-ball linear bearing, it yields exceptionally smooth, low-friction travel free of the stick-slip现象 common to plain bushings, making it highly suited for precise vertical lifts. At 100mm bore, it generates 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa while maintaining a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.04°, keeping large grippers or heavy plates perfectly square under offset loads.
This 200mm stroke unit features a substantial Ø25mm piston rod alongside Ø30mm guide rods that elevate the structural load and moment capacity. Plumbing is handled via 3/8" ports, with two independent air-feed groups on the upper face and side allowing flexible routing without extra elbows. Travel velocity spans 50-400 mm/s. Stroke termination is softened by fixed rubber TPU bumpers at both ends, as this series intentionally omits adjustable air cushions. The standard built-in magnet enables position feedback via CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches seated in any of the 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 TCL100X200S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Halts loaded pallets on a high-speed conveyor using 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, where the rigid Ø30mm twin guide rods absorb the severe side-impact moment without deflecting.
Stamping Press Tool Lift
Raises and lowers heavy die sets with zero stick-slip thanks to the steel-ball linear bearing, ensuring the 200mm stroke descent remains perfectly smooth for precision die alignment.
Large Panel Gripper Transfer
Shifts oversized sheet metal panels between welding stations, relying on the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance to keep the wide gripper jaws perfectly parallel under off-centre loads.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X200S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 100mm bore actuator means commanding immense thrust, specifically 3927 N push and 3682 N pull at 0.5 MPa, escalating to 5498 N at 0.7 MPa with a theoretical ceiling of 801 kgf. If your application requires slightly less force, stepping down to the Ø80 bore yields 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa, representing the largest standard option below this one. Because this is the maximum bore available in the TC family, moving further up in size requires a different cylinder architecture entirely.
For environments involving severe impact shocks, heavy abrasive dust, or extreme radial loads, consider the sister TCM100 series instead, which utilizes a brass sliding bearing better suited to such punishment than the precision steel-ball bearing found here. When ordering a replacement, verify the 100mm bore, 200mm stroke, 3/8" port size, and PT thread form, noting that the S magnet comes standard. Be aware that air pressure alone does not secure the load; if valve centering or supply loss occurs, the rod will drop, so deploy an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding.
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 TCL100X200S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 3927 N of push and 3682 N of pull. Raising pressure to 0.7 MPa increases the push force to 5498 N, with a theoretical maximum of 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range for this 100mm bore is 50-400 mm/s.
No, the TC series uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end to soften the end-of-stroke impact. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to tune. End-of-stroke deceleration relies entirely on these elastomer pads.
