Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X70-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X70-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 70mm 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 TCL32X70-S
The AirTAC TCL32X70-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder that integrates a drive piston between two guide rods in a single body. Because the guide unit itself prevents rotation and absorbs side loads, you can skip mounting an external linear rail. Fitted with a steel-ball linear bearing, this 32 mm bore double-acting actuator delivers 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa. It uses a Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports.
This low-friction bearing design ensures smooth, high-precision travel without the stick-slip common to plain bushings, making it ideal for vertical lifts and high-cycle positioning. The twin guide rods hold a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping a gripper or tooling plate perfectly square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots, and two independent port groups let you feed air from either the upper face or side without extra elbows.

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 TCL32X70-S Is Used
PCB Handling Lift Gate
Lifts delicate printed circuit boards using 402 N of thrust. The steel-ball linear bearing ensures friction-free vertical movement without stick-slip, while the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance keeps the lifting plate perfectly level.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Transfers machined parts using an offset gripper. The twin guide rods absorb the induced moment load, and the Ø16 mm piston rod handles the 563 N push force at 0.7 MPa without deflecting the tooling.
Vision System Focus Stage
Positions a camera bracket for automated optical inspection. The high-precision linear bearing and fixed TPU end bumpers provide repeatable, smooth stopping at 70 mm without requiring an external guide rail.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL32X70-S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 70 mm stroke model provides 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need slightly less force, the Ø25 bore yields roughly 245 N of push; stepping up to the Ø40 bore gives about 628 N. For applications involving heavy impacts or dusty radial loads, consider the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this linear ball unit. To specify a replacement, match the 32 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, 1/8" port, PT thread form, and standard S magnet.
Remember that the guide resists rotation, not gravity. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the rod will drift downward; the cylinder does not fail-safe hold a load. For vertical applications requiring a locked position without live air, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 TCL32X70-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30-500 mm/s.
No, the TC series uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end to soften the stroke stop. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set. The standard built-in S magnet is compatible with CS1 reed and DS1 electronic switches.
