Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X150-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X150-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 TCL32X150-S
The AirTAC TCL32X150-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing for low-friction, high-precision motion. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. Delivering 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting actuator handles substantial side loads and torque while maintaining a tight ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance.
Equipped with a Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports, it operates at speeds from 30-500 mm/s. The integrated guide unit keeps a gripper or tooling plate perfectly square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Two independent port groups (upper face and side) let you feed air from whichever side is free without extra fittings, and precision locating holes ensure you can re-fit the unit without re-teaching the position.

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 TCL32X150-S Is Used
PCB Handling Lift
Lifts populated PCB trays using 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The steel-ball linear bearing provides smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel, while the ±0.05° anti-rotation tolerance keeps the delicate gripper perfectly aligned.
Pallet Gate Stop
Acts as a heavy-duty stop gate for 150 mm travel on an assembly conveyor. The twin guide rods absorb the side impact of arriving pallets, and the integrated body removes the need to align a separate cylinder and rail.
3D Printer Carriage Change
Actuates a tool-change mechanism for large-format additive manufacturing. The Ø16 mm piston rod and low-friction bearing ensure repeatable positioning across the 150 mm stroke without external guiding.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X150-S the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore generates 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the Ø25 bore which provides roughly 245 N; if your application requires more power, step up to the Ø40 bore which outputs about 628 N. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this TCL if your duty cycle involves heavy impacts or dusty radial-load environments. To replace this exact unit, match the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard built-in S magnet.
Note that the guide resists rotation but does not resist gravity. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the rod will drift downward. For a fail-safe vertical hold, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The thread is PT by default; specify G or T in the code for BSPP or NPT alternatives.
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 TCL32X150-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
A moulded rubber bumper absorbs the stop at both ends, with no air-cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 (reed) and DS1 (electronic) switches, which drop into any of the four sensor slots on the body.
