Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X150S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X150S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 150mm 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 TCL25X150S
The AirTAC TCL25X150S is a JIS-standard double-acting guided cylinder featuring a twin-rod architecture and an integrated steel-ball linear bearing. By carrying the drive piston between two guide rods, this unit prevents rotation and absorbs side load directly, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. It delivers 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa alongside a 189 N pull force, making it well-suited for mid-range transfer and positioning tasks across a 150 mm stroke.
Precision is baked into the design, offering a tight non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06° to keep grippers or tooling plates perfectly square under off-centre loads. The steel-ball bearing ensures smooth, low-friction travel with no stick-slip, which is ideal for high-cycle vertical lifts. End caps use moulded rubber bumpers to soften stops, as no adjustable air cushion is present. Additionally, the 1/8" ports and Ø12 mm piston rod provide robust plumbing and fitment for reliable automation.

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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max | 50 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø12 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 TCL25X150S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Leveraging the 245 N push at 0.5 MPa and low-friction steel-ball bearing, this cylinder smoothly elevates sheet metal panels without the stick-slip common to plain bearings.
Welding Fixture Actuation
The ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance keeps a welding gun bracket square over the 150 mm stroke, ensuring repeatable joint alignment despite off-centre reaction forces.
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Twin guide rods absorb the radial impact of a moving pallet, using the 344 N thrust at 0.7 MPa to halt and hold the load securely on the conveyor line.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X150S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider stepping to the adjacent bores: an Ø20 cylinder provides roughly 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa for lighter duty, whereas an Ø32 cylinder yields about 402 N if your application demands greater thrust. Choose the sibling TCM series instead if your environment involves heavy impact loads or dusty radial-load conditions, as its brass sliding bearing handles those abuses better than the precision steel-ball bearing. Remember that air pressure is required to maintain position; if a load must stay put during a power loss or when a valve is centred, fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Replacement requires matching the 25 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 1/8" 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 TCL25X150S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 344 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the stroke ends are damped by fixed rubber pads rather than an adjustable air cushion. Also, the guide resists rotation but not gravity; the rod will drift if air pressure is lost, so add a rod lock for fail-safe holding.
