Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X45S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X45S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 45mm 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 TCL25X45S
The AirTAC TCL25X45S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder with a steel-ball linear bearing. Being double-acting, it generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. The integrated twin guide rods eliminate the need for an external linear slide, saving space and alignment effort. A 45 mm stroke handles compact transfer tasks.
Featuring a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06°, this unit keeps a gripper or blade square under off-centre loads. The low-friction steel-ball bearing ensures smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel. It uses a Ø12 mm piston rod and 1/8" PT ports. Stroke ends are damped by fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion.

| 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 TCL25X45S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Lifting light sheet metal panels using 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The steel-ball linear bearing provides low-friction vertical travel without stick-slip, ensuring smooth elevation.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving parts via a gripper mounted off-axis. The ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance keeps the jaws square under moment loads, preventing workpiece drops during transfer.
Pallet Gate Stop
Halting moving pallets on a conveyor line. The twin guide rods absorb the side load and torque of the impact, protecting the internal piston rod from deflection.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X45S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, the adjacent bores offer distinct thrust steps: an Ø20 delivers 157 N of push, while an Ø32 provides 402 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this Ø25 for mid-range loads. If your application involves heavy radial impacts or dusty environments, consider the TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this linear ball unit. To replace this cylinder, specify bore 25, stroke 45, 1/8" ports, PT thread, and the standard S magnet.
Note that this guided cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the rod drifts. The guide resists rotation, not gravity. For fail-safe vertical holding, add 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 TCL25X45S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 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.
There is no adjustable air cushion; each end lands on a fixed rubber TPU bumper to soften the stop. The standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches mounted in any of the four sensor slots.
