Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X35S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 35mm 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 TCL32X35S
The AirTAC TCL32X35S is a JIS standard double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. A centre drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, meaning you get anti-rotation support without adding an external linear rail. At 32 mm bore and 35 mm stroke, it generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, climbing to 563 N at 0.7 MPa. The integrated guide unit prevents rotation to a tight ±0.05° tolerance, keeping a gripper or blade perfectly square under off-centre loads.
This model uses a low-friction steel-ball bearing that eliminates the stick-slip often seen in plain bushings, making it highly suited for smooth vertical lifts and high-cycle positioning. It carries a standard built-in magnet for position sensing and features a fixed rubber TPU bumper at each end to soften end-of-stroke impacts. There is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. The twin guide rods absorb lateral moment and radial load, but remember the cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock for fail-safe vertical holding.

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 TCL32X35S Is Used
PCB Panel Vertical Lift
Lifting delicate electronics panels uses the 402 N push at 0.5 MPa. The steel-ball linear bearing ensures smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel without needing a separate rail.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving heavy parts via an offset gripper relies on the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance. The twin guide rods keep the jaw square under torque up to the stroke's safe limit.
Pallet Diverter Gate
Acting as a routing stop for pallets on a line uses the 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. The integrated guide absorbs the side load of impacting pallets without an external slide.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X35S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing the TCL32X35S gives you 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa on a 1/8" port with a Ø16 mm piston rod. If you need slightly less force, the Ø25 bore provides 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Stepping up to the Ø40 bore yields 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa for heavier fixtures. Select this TCL steel-ball bearing version for high-precision, low-friction duty. If your application involves heavy radial impacts or dusty environments, consider the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead. To replace this unit, specify bore 32, stroke 35, PT thread, and the standard S magnet. Note that a TC cylinder relies on live air to hold position; the rod will drift if pressure is lost, so fit a pilot check valve if gravity-drop protection is required.
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 TCL32X35S FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder uses 1/8" ports and a Ø16 mm piston rod. It generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf.
No, TC series cylinders use a fixed rubber TPU bumper at each end to soften the stroke stop and do not have an adjustable air cushion screw. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
