Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X70-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X70-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 70mm 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 TCL63X70-S
The AirTAC TCL63X70-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a low-friction steel-ball linear bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. Delivering 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting unit handles substantial loads with smooth, stick-slip-free travel ideal for vertical lifting.
Precision is locked in by a ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance, keeping grippers or tooling plates perfectly square under off-centre loads. The Ø20 mm piston rod is fed by 1/4" ports, while upper and side port groups allow pneumatic plumbing from whichever face is clear of obstructions. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, and the standard built-in magnet pairs with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots.

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 TCL63X70-S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gate Stop
Halts loaded pallets on a conveyor using 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The steel-ball linear bearing absorbs the radial impact without binding, maintaining precise alignment.
Vertical Press Lift
Raises and lowers a 70 mm press platen with zero stick-slip thanks to the low-friction linear guide. The ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keeps the platen perfectly level during descent.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Shifts an asymmetrically loaded gripper between stations. The twin guide rods support the induced moment load directly, removing the need to align a separate rail and cylinder.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL63X70-S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø50 bore yields roughly 982 N of push, whereas moving up to the Ø80 bore provides 2513 N for heavier payloads. For environments involving severe impact or dusty radial loads, consider the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this linear ball unit.
To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, 1/4" port size, and PT thread form, ensuring the standard S magnet is included. Note that a guided cylinder will drop its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the guide resists rotation rather than gravity; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe position 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 TCL63X70-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. Increasing the supply to 0.7 MPa yields 2182 N of push, with a maximum theoretical force rating of 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
No, the TC series uses a fixed rubber TPU bumper at each end to soften the end-of-stroke impact. There is no adjustable cushion screw to tune, which simplifies setup and reduces maintenance points.
