Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X60-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X60-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm 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 ±0.06° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X60-S
The AirTAC TCL25X60-S is a JIS double-acting guided twin-rod cylinder integrating a drive piston between two guide rods within a single body. By utilizing a steel-ball linear bearing, it yields low-friction, high-precision motion without the stick-slip common to plain bushings, making it well-suited for vertical lifts and accurate high-cycle tasks. Generating 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore unit also delivers 344 N at 0.7 MPa.
With a 60 mm stroke, the unit provides a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06°, keeping a gripper or blade square under off-centre loads. The twin-rod architecture removes the need for an external linear guide, saving space and alignment effort. Stroke endpoints are damped by fixed TPU rubber pads rather than an adjustable air cushion. Standard features include a built-in magnet for position sensing and a Ø12 mm piston rod on 1/8" PT ports.

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 TCL25X60-S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lifter
Lifting light sheet metal panels uses the 245 N push at 0.5 MPa; the steel-ball linear bearing ensures smooth, stick-slip-free upward travel without needing a separate rail guide.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving parts via an offset gripper benefits from the ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance, keeping the jaws perfectly square to the workpiece throughout the 60 mm stroke.
3D Printer Tool Change
Actuating an automated tool carriage on a 3D printing farm relies on the integrated twin-rod body to carry the moment load, eliminating alignment work while fitting a Ø12 mm rod.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X60-S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 25 mm bore yields 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø20 bore provides roughly 157 N of push. Conversely, moving up to the Ø32 bore increases thrust to about 402 N. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this TCL if your duty cycle involves heavy radial impacts or dusty environments. To replace this unit, specify bore 25, stroke 60, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet.
Remember that the guide resists rotation, not gravity; the rod will drift downward if air pressure drops or the control valve is centered. For a fail-safe load hold, install an external pneumatic 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 TCL25X60-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore cylinder generates 245 N of push force and 189 N of pull force. When supplied at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 344 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion screw. Each end of stroke relies on a fixed rubber TPU bumper to soften the impact. For position feedback, the standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches fitted into any of the four sensor slots.
