Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X75-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X75-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 75mm 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 TCL25X75-S
The AirTAC TCL25X75-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder that integrates a drive piston between two guide rods within a single unified body. Because the guide unit itself resists rotation and carries side load, you can skip the alignment work and rail hardware of an external linear slide. A steel-ball linear bearing yields low-friction, high-precision travel with no stick-slip, making it well suited for vertical lifts and high-cycle positioning. At 25 mm bore, it generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while holding a tight ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance to keep your end tooling square under off-centre loads.
This 75 mm stroke variant uses a Ø12 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports (PT thread form by default). You can plumb air from either the upper face or the side port group, avoiding extra elbows in tight machine cells. Stroke ends are damped by fixed TPU rubber bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. Every unit ships with a standard built-in magnet (S) for position sensing, and four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches from any face.

| Acting type | Double acting |
| Bearing | Steel-ball linear bearing |
| Port size | 1/8" |
| 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 |
| Non-rotating tolerance | ±0.06° (retracted) |
| Cushion | Rubber bumper |
| Max std stroke | Up to 250 mm |
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 TCL25X75-S Is Used
PCB Panel Vertical Lift
Lifting delicate electronic panels benefits from the steel-ball linear bearing's smooth, stick-slip-free motion. With 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa and a ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance, the carriage rises precisely without skewing.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving parts via an offset gripper imposes torsional stress. The twin guide rods carry this moment load directly, keeping the Ø12 piston rod perfectly square while transferring components between stations.
Pallet Diverter Gate
Acting as a heavy flow-control stop for moving pallets, this cylinder absorbs side load without an external rail. The fixed TPU bumpers reliably endure the repeated end-of-stroke impacts at 30-500 mm/s.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL25X75-S the Right Cylinder?
If your actuation needs slightly less force, step down to the Ø20 bore which provides roughly 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Moving up to the Ø32 bore yields about 402 N of thrust if this 25 mm version stalls under load. Choose the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this steel-ball linear bearing only if your application involves severe impact or heavy dusty radial loads. To replace this unit exactly, specify bore 25, stroke 75, 1/8" port size, PT thread, and the standard S magnet.
Note that a guided cylinder will not hold a suspended load if air pressure drops or the directional valve is centred; the rod will drift. The twin rods resist twisting, not gravity, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe vertical 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 TCL25X75-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. Raising the pressure to 0.7 MPa increases the push force to 344 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 50 kgf.
No, TC series cylinders do not use an adjustable air cushion. Each end of travel is softened by a fixed rubber TPU bumper, meaning there is no cushion screw to tune. The built-in S magnet works with CS1 reed and DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
