Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X75-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X75-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 75mm 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 TCL40X75-S
The AirTAC TCL40X75-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring an integrated steel-ball linear bearing. A drive piston operates between two guide rods in a single body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. This double-acting unit delivers 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The steel-ball bearing provides low-friction, high-precision movement without the stick-slip common to plain bushings, making it highly effective for vertical lifts and smooth high-cycle actuation.
With a 40 mm bore and 75 mm stroke, this model achieves a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping a gripper or blade square under off-centre loads. It features a Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" PT ports. 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 in any of the four sensor slots. Two independent port groups (upper face and side) allow plumbing from whichever direction is clear.

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 TCL40X75-S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Lifting heavy sheets with 628 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The steel-ball linear bearing ensures smooth vertical travel without stick-slip, while the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance keeps the lifting plate perfectly level.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving parts using an offset gripper. The twin guide rods carry the resulting moment load, preventing twist, while the low-friction bearing maintains precise positioning over high cycle counts.
Heavy Pallet Stop
Halting loaded pallets on a line. The integrated guide absorbs the side impact and torque, delivering 880 N of push at 0.7 MPa to act as a robust, repeatable gating mechanism.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL40X75-S the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, the Ø32 bore generates about 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier pushing requirements, stepping up to the Ø50 bore yields roughly 982 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing if your duty cycle involves severe impact or heavy radial loads in dusty environments. To replace this unit, specify bore 40, stroke 75, 1/8" ports, PT thread, and the standard S magnet. Note that a TC does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the rod drifts and the guide resists rotation, not gravity. For a fail-safe hold, add 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 TCL40X75-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 880 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
A moulded rubber bumper absorbs the stop at both ends, with no air-cushion screw to set or adjust. For position sensing, the standard built-in magnet interacts with AirTAC CS1 (reed) or DS1 (electronic) switches that drop into the four body slots.
