Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X150S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X150S 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 TCL32X150S
The AirTAC TCL32X150S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder configured for double-acting operation. It integrates a steel-ball linear bearing that provides low-friction, high-precision motion without the stick-slip often seen in plain sliding guides, making it well-suited for vertical lifts and accurate high-cycle tasks. Delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore unit handles substantial load while keeping a gripper or plate square under off-centre forces thanks to a tight non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°.
This 150 mm stroke model features an integrated guide unit that eliminates the need for an external linear rail, saving space and the alignment work of matching separate components. The twin guide rods carry the moment and radial loads, leaving the central Ø16 mm piston rod to generate thrust. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, and the body includes four sensor slots for position detection.

| 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 | ±0.05° (retracted) |

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 TCL32X150S Is Used
PCB Handling Lift
Lifts populated PCB trays vertically with 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the steel-ball linear bearing to prevent stick-slip and ensure smooth, precise vertical travel.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Transfers heavy metal blanks via a gripper mounted off-centre, relying on the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance to keep the jaws square and prevent binding under side load.
Welding Fixture Actuation
Positions a welding head accurately on an automated line, where the integrated twin guide rods absorb the reaction torque without needing a separate external slide.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X150S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider stepping to the adjacent bores: the smaller Ø25 yields about 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the larger Ø40 provides roughly 628 N, letting you move a step in either direction to match your exact load. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing if your application involves severe impacts or heavily dusty radial-load duty. Keep in mind that this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the rod will drift; for a fail-safe hold, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Replacement requires matching the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard built-in magnet (S).
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 TCL32X150S FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf. It operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and uses 1/8" ports.
Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper that softens the stop; there is no air-cushion screw to adjust. For position feedback, the standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 (reed) or DS1 (electronic) switches dropped into any of the four body slots.
