Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X60S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 TCL100X60S
The AirTAC TCL100X60S is a JIS-standard double-acting guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. A central Ø25 mm piston rod drives the unit between two robust Ø30 mm guide rods, delivering 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. This integrated guide unit eliminates the need for an external linear rail, absorbing side loads and torque directly while ensuring smooth travel free of the stick-slip friction found in plain bearings.
With a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.04°, this 100 mm bore model keeps heavy tools or plates perfectly square under off-centre loads. The 60 mm stroke operates at 50-400 mm/s, and stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to track the standard built-in magnet.

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 TCL100X60S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Halts loaded pallets on a conveyor using 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The twin Ø30 mm guide rods absorb the heavy side impact without requiring a separate shock-absorbing rail.
Large Press Tool Transfer
Moves heavy stamping dies with smooth, stick-slip-free motion. The steel-ball linear bearing ensures high-precision vertical lifting, while the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keeps the tool plate perfectly aligned.
Automated Welding Fixture
Actuates a multi-head welding fixture with 5498 N of push at 0.7 MPa. The integrated guide handles the off-centre torque of the welding heads, and the four sensor slots allow easy position verification.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL100X60S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need slightly less force, the neighbouring Ø80 bore generates 2513 N of push. As this is the largest standard bore in the TCL range, no larger option exists within the series. Select the sibling TCM series instead if your application involves heavy radial impacts or dusty environments, as its brass sliding bearing handles those specific conditions better than the steel-ball linear bearing.
When ordering a replacement, confirm the 100 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 3/8" port size, and PT thread form. The built-in magnet (S) is standard. Note that this guided cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centred; the rod will drift. For fail-safe position holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 TCL100X60S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder generates 3927 N of push force and 3682 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5498 N. The maximum theoretical force is 801 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operational speed range is 50-400 mm/s.
No, the TC series uses a fixed rubber (TPU) bumper at each end to soften the end-of-stroke impact. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set. The cylinder is also equipped with a standard built-in magnet for use with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches.
