Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL50X75-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL50X75-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø50mm 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 ±0.04° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL50X75-S
The AirTAC TCL50X75-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder engineered for double-acting operation, integrating a steel-ball linear bearing within a single robust body. It delivers 982 N of push and 825 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, driven by a Ø20 mm piston rod. The integrated twin guide rods completely eliminate the need for an external linear slide, saving valuable machine space and removing the alignment headaches of matching a separate cylinder to a rail. A stroke end is decelerated by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, ensuring simple mechanical stops without requiring tuning.
Featuring a tight ±0.04° non-rotating accuracy, this 50 mm bore unit keeps grippers and tooling plates perfectly square under offset loads. The steel-ball bearing provides low-friction, stick-slip-free travel that is highly suited for precise vertical lifts and high-cycle positioning. Two independent port groups on the upper face and side allow you to feed 1/4 inch air from whichever direction is clear, while four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches via the standard built-in magnet.

|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max | 200 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø20 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 TCL50X75-S Is Used
PCB Handling Lowering Arm
Lowers a vacuum pickup head onto electronics panels with 982 N of thrust, relying on the steel-ball linear bearing for smooth, stick-slip-free vertical descent without needing a separate rail.
Pallet Stop Gate
Halts heavy loaded pallets on a packaging line; the twin guide rods absorb the side impact and torque while maintaining a rigid ±0.04° non-rotating barrier.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Shifts an asymmetric part between machining stations where the offset mass creates torque, keeping the tooling square throughout the 75 mm stroke via the integrated guide body.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL50X75-S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 75 mm stroke model makes sense when your application requires roughly 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the Ø32 bore yields about 402 N of push, whereas moving up to the Ø63 bore provides 1559 N. Choose the sibling TCM series instead if your environment involves heavy impacts or dusty radial loads, as its brass sliding bearing handles those abuses better than the precision steel-ball bearing found here. Thread is PT by default; specify G or T for BSPP or NPT respectively. The standard S magnet is included.
Remember that the guide resists rotation, not gravity. Should air pressure drop or the directional valve center, the rod will drift downward and drop the payload. To maintain a fail-safe vertical position without live air, install an external pneumatic rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve in the line.
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 TCL50X75-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 982 N of push and 825 N of pull. Raising pressure to 0.7 MPa increases the push force to 1374 N. The theoretical maximum force is 200 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. Each end lands on a fixed rubber TPU bumper that absorbs the mechanical stop. For position sensing, the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four body slots.
