Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X60-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X60-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 TCL63X60-S
The AirTAC TCL63X60-S is a JIS-standard, double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder integrating a steel-ball linear bearing. It delivers 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for substantial actuation duties. A drive piston operates between two guide rods, eliminating the need for an external linear slide while preventing rotation to within a tight ±0.04° tolerance, keeping your end tooling perfectly square under offset loads.
This 63 mm bore unit features a Ø20 mm piston rod and 1/4" pneumatic ports. The integrated steel-ball bearing ensures low-friction, high-precision movement without the stick-slip common in plain bushings, which is ideal for smooth vertical lifts. Stroke termination relies on fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet (S) allows position detection using CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor grooves.

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 TCL63X60-S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Halting loaded pallets on a conveyor requires high side-load capacity. The TCL63X60-S handles the 1559 N impact while the twin guide rods absorb the radial moment without deflecting.
Vertical 3D Printer Carriage Lift
Raising a heavy additive-manufacturing toolhead demands smooth, stick-slip-free vertical motion. The steel-ball linear bearing provides the precision travel needed, supported by the Ø20 mm piston rod.
Welding Fixture Actuation
Moving a heavy weld gun into position benefits from the ±0.04° non-rotating accuracy. This keeps the welding tip precisely aligned under offset weight during the 60 mm clamping stroke.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X60-S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63 mm bore model gives you 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need slightly less force, the adjacent Ø50 bore provides 982 N of push, while stepping up to the Ø80 bore yields 2513 N for heavier displacement. Choose the sibling TCM series instead only if your application involves severe impact loads or highly dusty environments where a brass sliding bearing excels. Remember that this TCL guide resists rotation but will not hold a load vertically if air pressure is lost; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
For a direct replacement, specify bore 63, stroke 60, 1/4" port size, PT thread form (tapered), and the standard magnet S. The 60 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring immediate availability without made-to-order delays.
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 TCL63X60-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. When pressure increases to 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The TCL uses a steel-ball linear bearing for low-friction, high-precision travel ideal for vertical lifts, whereas the TCM uses a brass sliding bearing better suited for dusty environments or heavy radial impact loads. Both feature fixed rubber TPU end bumpers rather than adjustable air cushions.
