Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X25-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X25-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 25mm 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 TCL63X25-S
The AirTAC TCL63X25-S is a JIS-standard double-acting guided twin-rod cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. An integrated drive piston moves between two guide rods, completely eliminating the need for an external linear slide. This architecture saves space and removes the alignment work of matching a separate cylinder to a rail. Delivering 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, it is built for substantial actuation tasks.
A standout feature of this 63 mm bore unit is its ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance, which keeps a gripper or blade perfectly square under off-centre loads. The steel-ball bearing provides low-friction, high-precision travel with no stick-slip, making it ideal for vertical lifts. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. It carries a standard built-in magnet for position sensing and uses a Ø20 mm piston rod with 1/4" PT 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.
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 TCL63X25-S Is Used
Welding Fixture Actuation
Applying 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa to clamp heavy chassis components, relying on the steel-ball linear bearing for smooth, low-friction travel without stick-slip during high-cycle robotic welding.
Heavy Press Ram Lowering
Lowering a 318 kgf maximum press tool with precise vertical descent, where the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keeps the ram perfectly aligned under off-centre machining loads.
Pallet Flow Diverter
Stopping and gating heavy pallets on a packaging line, absorbing side loads via the twin guide rods while the Ø20 mm piston rod cycles rapidly on 1/4" ports.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X25-S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider moving a step in either direction. The next bore down is Ø50, which generates roughly 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The next bore up is Ø80, yielding about 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the TCL63X25-S when your application requires high force alongside strict anti-rotation control.
If your duty cycle involves heavy radial impacts or dusty environments, the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing is the better choice. Remember that this TC model does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred; the rod drifts, as the guide resists rotation, not gravity. For a fail-safe hold, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. Replacement matches require bore 63, stroke 25, 1/4" ports, PT thread, and the standard S magnet.
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 TCL63X25-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. 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 do not have an adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. Each end of the stroke lands on a fixed rubber TPU bumper that softens the impact. For position sensing, the standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
