Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X120S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X120S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 120mm 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 TCL63X120S
The AirTAC TCL63X120S is a JIS double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder integrating a steel-ball linear bearing within a single body. It generates 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa and features a Ø20 mm piston rod. Because the guide unit prevents rotation to a tight ±0.04° tolerance, it keeps tools perfectly square under off-centre loads without requiring an external linear rail.
This 120 mm stroke model uses 1/4 inch PT ports and includes a standard built-in magnet for position sensing. The steel-ball bearing ensures smooth, low-friction travel with zero stick-slip, making it highly effective for vertical lifting and high-cycle automation. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion.

| Port size | 1/4" |
| 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 | ±0.04° (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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max | 318 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 TCL63X120S Is Used
Vertical Press Lift
Lifting heavy stamping dies with 1559 N of force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing the steel-ball linear bearing to prevent stick-slip on the upward travel.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Moving heavy cast parts on an assembly line where the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keeps the wide gripper perfectly square under moment loads.
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Halting loaded pallets on a conveyor by absorbing the side load directly on the twin guide rods, protecting the Ø20 mm piston rod from deflection.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X120S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider stepping down to the Ø50 bore, which provides roughly 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to the Ø80 bore, which yields 2513 N. Choose the sibling TCM series if your application involves severe impacts or dusty radial loads, as its brass sliding bearing handles those conditions better than the TCL's precision steel balls.
For replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 120 mm stroke, 1/4 inch port, and PT thread form, noting the standard S magnet. Be aware that this cylinder will drift downward if air pressure drops, as the guide resists rotation but not gravity; add an external rod lock 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 TCL63X120S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder provides 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, TC series cylinders use a fixed rubber TPU bumper at each end to soften the stop. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. The standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed and DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots.
