Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X225S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X225S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 225mm 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 TCL63X225S
The AirTAC TCL63X225S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing for low-friction, high-precision motion. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in one integrated body, delivering 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Because the guide unit prevents rotation to a tight ±0.04° tolerance, it keeps a gripper or tooling plate perfectly square under off-centre loads without requiring an external linear rail.
This 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke double-acting actuator operates at 30-500 mm/s on 1/4" ports with a Ø20 mm piston rod. 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 whichever side is free without extra elbows, while four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches via the standard built-in magnet.

| 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 TCL63X225S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Lifts heavy sheet metal panels using 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa; the steel-ball linear bearing ensures smooth travel with no stick-slip on the vertical rise.
Welding-Fixture Actuation
Positions a heavy welding gun with exact repeatability, relying on the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance to keep the electrode square under offset mass.
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Halts a loaded pallet on a conveyor line; the twin guide rods absorb the side load and torque without needing a separate external slide.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X225S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 63 mm bore for substantial thrust; if you need less force, the Ø50 bore yields roughly 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø80 bore provides 2513 N. Consider the sister TCM series instead if your application involves heavy impacts or dusty radial loads, as its brass sliding bearing handles those abuses better than the precision steel-ball bearing. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, 1/4" port, PT thread form, and standard S magnet.
Note that a TC cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the rod will drift; the guide resists rotation, not gravity. For a fail-safe vertical hold, recommend an external rod lock or 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 TCL63X225S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 2182 N. The theoretical maximum force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper to soften the stop. The TC series does not feature an adjustable air cushion or cushion screw.
