Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X200-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X200-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 200mm 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 TCL40X200-S
The AirTAC TCL40X200-S is a JIS-standard double-acting guided twin-rod cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. A central drive piston operates between two guide rods within a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. This design directly supports side loads and torque, generating 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa while maintaining a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05° to keep grippers or tooling perfectly square under offset loads.
The steel-ball bearing construction provides low-friction, high-precision travel without the stick-slip common in plain bushings, making it highly effective for vertical lifts. It features a Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" PT ports. Stroke termination relies on fixed rubber TPU bumpers at both ends, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet enables position sensing, and precision locating holes allow maintenance re-fits without re-teaching positions.

| 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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max | 128 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 TCL40X200-S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Using its 628 N push at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder halts moving pallets on a conveyor line, leveraging the twin guide rods to absorb the radial impact without an external shock absorber.
Precision Press Die Lowering
The steel-ball linear bearing ensures a smooth, stick-slip-free descent for a 200 mm stamping die stroke, maintaining strict ±0.05° squareness under offset tooling weight.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving an asymmetrical part between machining stations relies on the integrated twin-rod body to resist twisting torque, keeping the gripper plane true throughout the 200 mm extension.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X200-S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its 628 N thrust at 0.5 MPa against neighbouring bores: stepping down to Ø32 yields 402 N, while moving up to Ø50 provides 982 N. Choose the sibling TCM40 variant with its brass sliding bearing if your application involves severe impact loads or heavily dusty radial-load environments. Keep in mind that air pressure loss will cause the rod to drift downward, as the guide resists rotation but not gravity; apply an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Replacement requires matching the 40 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 1/8" port, PT thread form, 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 TCL40X200-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 880 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf.
There is no adjustable air cushion; instead, fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impacts. For position detection, the standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches mounted in any of the four sensor slots.
