Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X65S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X65S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 65mm 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 TCL32X65S
The AirTAC TCL32X65S is a JIS-standard double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder featuring an integrated steel-ball linear bearing. A central Ø16mm piston rod generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while the dual guide rods manage lateral stress and torque, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. The steel-ball bearing design ensures low-friction movement without the stick-slip common in plain bushings, making it well-suited for vertical lifts and high-cycle positioning tasks.
This 32mm bore model holds a tight ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, keeping a gripper or tooling plate perfectly square under off-centre loads. It includes a standard built-in magnet (S) for position sensing and uses 1/8" PT ports. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at both ends to soften impact, as the TC series does not utilize adjustable air cushions. Two independent port groups on the upper face and side allow flexible pneumatic plumbing without extra elbows.

| 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 TCL32X65S Is Used
PCB Handling Lift
Raises delicate printed circuit boards between conveyor tiers. The 402 N thrust at 0.5 MPa handles the payload, while the linear ball bearing ensures smooth, stick-slip-free vertical motion.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Transfers parts using an offset gripper. The ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance keeps the jaws square under unbalanced torque without needing a separate external guide rail.
Vision System Focus Stage
Positions a camera bracket for automated optical inspection. The integrated twin-rod body maintains precise parallelism, and the four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches for exact edge detection.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X65S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to a Ø25 bore for roughly 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to a Ø40 bore which provides about 628 N. Choose the TCL steel-ball linear bearing for smooth, high-precision travel; if your application involves heavy radial impacts or dusty environments, the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing is the better option.
Note that this cylinder will drift downward if air pressure drops or the directional valve is centered, as the guide prevents rotation but not gravity. For fail-safe vertical holding, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To replace this unit, specify bore 32, stroke 65, 1/8" port size, PT thread form, and the 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 TCL32X65S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 402 N of push and 302 N of pull force. When supplied with 0.7 MPa, the push 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 stop, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to tune. Operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
