Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X25-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X25-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 25mm 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 TCL32X25-S
The AirTAC TCL32X25-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a low-friction steel-ball linear bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in one integrated body, generating 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This architecture eliminates the need for an external linear slide, saving space and alignment effort. The integrated guide delivers a tight ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, keeping grippers or tooling plates perfectly square under offset loads.
Equipped with a Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports, this double-acting unit is built for short, precise 25 mm movements. Stroke terminations are softened by fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. Two independent port groups on the upper face and side allow pneumatic plumbing from whichever direction is clear, while four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches via the standard built-in magnet.

| 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 TCL32X25-S Is Used
Short-Stroke Gripper Actuation
Ideal for 25 mm part-transfer moves where the 402 N thrust and ±0.05° anti-rotation tolerance keep an off-centre end-effector perfectly square during high-speed pick-and-place.
Vertical Pressing Head
The steel-ball linear bearing provides friction-free vertical travel without stick-slip, ensuring the 563 N push at 0.7 MPa is applied smoothly and accurately for light pressing or seating tasks.
Welding Fixture Positioning
Twin guide rods handle the side torque of clamping a workpiece, while the four sensor slots and standard magnet allow precise end-of-stroke confirmation for automated welding cells.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X25-S the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore strikes a balance between compact size and robust thrust. If you need less force, the neighbouring Ø25 model provides roughly 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa; stepping up to the Ø40 bore yields about 628 N for heavier payloads. Both alternatives operate on the same 1/8" port size.
Select the TCL steel-ball bearing when your application demands smooth, stick-slip-free vertical lifting or high-precision positioning. For environments with heavy impact loads or dusty radial conditions, consider the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead. Note that air pressure drives both extension and retraction, but the cylinder will not hold a load if air is lost or the valve is centered—install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe positioning. Replacement requires matching the 32 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, PT thread, and standard S magnet.
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 TCL32X25-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the TC series uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end to soften the impact at stroke completion. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to tune.
