Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL20X200-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL20X200-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø20mm 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 ±0.06° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL20X200-S
The AirTAC TCL20X200-S is a JIS-standard guided twin-rod double-acting cylinder incorporating a steel-ball linear bearing. A drive piston operates between two guide rods within a single integrated body, delivering 157 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated guide unit prevents rotation, maintaining a strict ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance to keep a gripper or plate square under off-centre loads.
Featuring a Ø10 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports, this 200 mm stroke variant suits extended precise travel. The steel-ball bearing ensures low-friction movement without stick-slip, making it ideal for vertical lifts. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Two independent port groups (upper face and side) allow pneumatic feeding from whichever side is free, while four sensor slots accommodate CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches via 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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | — |
| Max | 32 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø10 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 TCL20X200-S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Leveraging 157 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, the low-friction steel-ball bearing raises light panels smoothly over the 200 mm stroke without stick-slip.
Welding-Fixture Actuation
The ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance keeps the welding head square under off-centre loads, eliminating the need for an external linear guide.
Lab Sample Positioning
Four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to verify position, while the integrated twin-rod body handles side load during precise sample transfers.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL20X200-S the Right Cylinder?
If sizing force, stepping down to Ø12 yields 57 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to Ø25 provides 245 N. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing for heavy impact or dusty radial-load duty. For a fail-safe hold, note this cylinder drifts if air pressure is lost; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve. Replacement match: bore 20, stroke 200, 1/8" port, PT thread, 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 TCL20X200-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 157 N push and 118 N pull; at 0.7 MPa push is 220 N. The theoretical maximum force is 32 kgf. Operating pressure is 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
No, TC series cylinders use a fixed rubber TPU bumper at each end to soften the stop. There is no cushion screw to adjust. The guide resists rotation but does not hold loads on air loss; use a pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
