The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X200-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm 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 ±0.04° of rotation without any external linear guide.
The AirTAC TCL63X200-S is a JIS-standard double-acting guided twin-rod cylinder integrating a steel-ball linear bearing. It generates 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks. The integrated twin guide rods eliminate the need for an external linear rail, saving space and alignment effort.
A standout feature is its ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance, ensuring your end-effector stays perfectly square under off-centre loads. The low-friction steel-ball bearing prevents stick-slip during vertical lifts. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. Standard features include a built-in magnet for position sensing, an Ø20 mm piston rod, and 1/4" ports.

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.
| 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.
| TC | Tri-rod (guided, twin-rod) cylinder, double acting. |

| L | Bearing: Steel-ball linear bearing (L = linear ball). |

| ×200 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet (standard on TC) for a magnetic sensor switch. |
Sister type: TCM63X200 (brass sliding bearing, more impact/dust tolerant). Thread codes: blank = PT · G · T = NPT.
Leveraging the 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa and the low-friction steel-ball linear bearing, this cylinder raises heavy structural panels without stick-slip, ensuring smooth vertical travel.
The ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keeps an asymmetrical gripper square while transferring heavy parts between machining centres, absorbing the moment load without an external guide.
Using the robust 318 kgf maximum theoretical force, this unit halts loaded pallets on a conveyor line, with the twin guide rods absorbing the radial impact of the moving load.
When sizing this model, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to a Ø50 bore yields 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to an Ø80 bore provides 2513 N. Choose the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing only if your application involves severe impact loads or highly dusty radial-load environments. For replacing this unit, specify bore 63, stroke 200, 1/4" port, PT thread, and the standard S magnet.
Remember that the twin guide rods resist rotation, not gravity. If air pressure drops or the directional valve centres, the rod will drift; you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the cylinder provides 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 318 kgf.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. Each end of the cylinder uses a fixed rubber TPU bumper to soften the impact at the stroke ends. For position sensing, the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
