Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X35S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø40mm 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 TCL40X35S
The AirTAC TCL40X35S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. This design prevents rotation and carries side loads directly. Delivering 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore unit is built for double-acting operation.
The steel-ball bearing provides low-friction, high-precision travel without the stick-slip common to plain bushings, making it ideal for vertical lifts. It holds a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping tools square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Two independent port groups (upper face and side) let you feed air from 1/8" ports on whichever side is free, 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 (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 TCL40X35S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lifter
Lifting sheet metal panels uses the 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. The steel-ball linear bearing ensures smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel without needing a separate guide rail.
Welding Fixture Actuation
Moving a heavy weld clamp relies on the ±0.05° non-rotating accuracy. The twin guide rods keep the clamp perfectly square under off-centre loads during positioning.
Pallet Gate Stopper
Halting pallets on a line uses the 880 N push at 0.7 MPa. The integrated guide absorbs the side impact and torque, protecting the central Ø16 mm piston rod.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X35S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 40 mm bore when your application requires roughly 628 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø32 bore generates about 402 N; stepping up to the Ø50 bore yields 982 N. For environments with heavy impact or dusty radial loads, consider the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this linear-ball variant.
To source an exact replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, 1/8" port size, PT thread form, and standard S magnet. Note that air pressure loss will cause the rod to drift downward, as the guide resists rotation but not gravity—install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding.
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 TCL40X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 628 N push and 528 N pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 880 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf, and the operational speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
No, each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper to soften the stop. There is no air-cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
