Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X225-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X225-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 225mm 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 TCL25X225-S
The AirTAC TCL25X225-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. Delivering 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting unit handles long 225 mm strokes smoothly. The steel-ball bearing ensures low-friction travel without the stick-slip of plain bushings, making it ideal for precise vertical lifts.
Holding a tight ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance, the guide keeps grippers and tooling plates perfectly square under off-centre loads. It features a Ø12 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots, while upper and side port groups simplify plumbing.

| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |

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 TCL25X225-S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Lifting delicate electronic panels over the 225 mm travel is smooth and stick-slip-free thanks to the steel-ball linear bearing, while 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa easily raises the load.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving asymmetrical machined parts between stations stays accurate because the ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance keeps the gripper square despite moment loads.
Welding-Fixture Actuation
Positioning a welding fixture over a long 225 mm stroke benefits from the integrated twin-rod guide, which absorbs side load without needing a separate rail.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X225-S the Right Cylinder?
This 25 mm bore generates 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø20 bore provides roughly 157 N of push; stepping up to the Ø32 bore yields about 402 N. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing if your application involves heavy impacts or dusty radial loads, as the TCL's steel-ball bearing targets high-precision, low-friction duty. To replace this unit, match the 25 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 1/8" port, PT thread, and standard S magnet.
Note that air pressure drives both extension and retraction, but the cylinder will drift and drop if air is lost or the valve is centred. The twin rods resist rotation, not gravity, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load 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 TCL25X225-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 25 mm bore cylinder delivers 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 344 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, TC series cylinders do not use adjustable air cushions. Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper that softens the stop. You must rely on external flow controls to manage end-of-stroke speeds.
