Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X100-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X100-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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 ±0.05° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X100-S
The AirTAC TCL32X100-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod double-acting guided cylinder featuring an integrated steel-ball linear bearing. A center drive piston runs between two guide rods to prevent rotation and absorb side loading, entirely removing the need for an external linear slide. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built for precise vertical lifts and off-center load handling.
This 32 mm bore unit utilizes a Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" PT ports, achieving a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.05° to keep grippers and plates perfectly square. The low-friction steel-ball bearing ensures smooth travel without the stick-slip common to plain bushings. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. Four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to track the standard built-in magnet.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max | 82 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø16 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 TCL32X100-S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lifting
Raises heavy aluminum extrusion frames in an assembly cell using 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, relying on the steel-ball linear bearing for smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Shifts an offset pneumatic gripper carrying electronic PCBs, where the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance keeps the jaws square under uneven moment loads.
Pallet Gate Stopper
Halts moving pallets on a packaging line, using the twin guide rods to absorb the radial impact and side load while the central piston provides 563 N of stopping force at 0.7 MPa.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X100-S the Right Cylinder?
If 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa is too much for your layout, stepping down to the Ø25 bore yields roughly 245 N of push force. Conversely, moving up to the Ø40 bore provides about 628 N for heavier fixtures. The 100 mm stroke falls well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring standard delivery. Choose the sibling TCM32 over this TCL if your application involves severe impact loads or dusty environments, as the TCM uses a brass sliding bearing better suited for radial abuse. To re-order an exact match, specify a 32 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet. Note that this cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops; fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
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 TCL32X100-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 402 N of push force and 302 N of pull force. When supplied with 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No, the TCL series uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end to soften the stroke termination. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
