Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X30S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 30mm 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 TCL100X30S
The AirTAC TCL100X30S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder engineered for heavy-duty anti-rotation tasks. A double-acting drive piston operates between two integrated guide rods fitted with steel-ball linear bearings. This configuration absorbs significant side load and moment, eliminating the need to align a separate external rail. Delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 100mm bore unit is built for substantial work.
Precision is guaranteed by a tight non-rotating tolerance of ±0.04°, keeping wide grippers or heavy plates completely square under offset loads. The low-friction steel-ball bearing ensures smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel ideal for high-cycle lifting. It features an Ø25mm piston rod, robust Ø30mm guide rods, and 3/8" PT ports. Travel velocity spans 50-400mm/s. Stroke termination uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers to soften impact, as no adjustable air cushion is present on this series.

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 TCL100X30S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gating
Halts heavy pallet conveyors with 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The rigid twin-rod body and Ø30mm guide rods absorb the impact of moving loads without bending.
Press Staking Assembly
Drives a vertical staking head with zero stick-slip thanks to the steel-ball linear bearing. The ±0.04° non-rotating accuracy keeps the tool perfectly aligned during heavy press fits.
Large Weldment Clamping
Secures heavy steel weldments for robotic welding. The integrated guide handles the offset clamp weight, removing the need to install a separate linear guide rail.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X30S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the TCL100X30S provides maximum thrust within the standard AirTAC guided range, generating 3927 N push and 3682 N pull at 0.5 MPa, peaking at an 801 kgf theoretical limit. If you need slightly less force, stepping down to the Ø80 bore yields roughly 2513 N of push at the same pressure. As the largest available bore, there is no larger standard option. For applications involving severe impact shocks or highly abrasive dust alongside radial loads, consider the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this linear ball unit. When ordering a replacement, specify bore 100, stroke 30, 3/8" PT ports, and the standard built-in magnet (S). Remember that this cylinder will not hold a suspended load if air pressure drops or the valve centers; the guide prevents rotation but not gravity, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
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 TCL100X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder generates 3927 N of push force and 3682 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 5498 N. The theoretical maximum force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed ranges from 50 to 400 mm/s.
There is no adjustable air cushion; both stroke ends are damped by fixed rubber TPU bumpers. The standard built-in magnet (S) allows you to drop an AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switch into any of the four sensor slots for position detection.
