Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X40S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X40S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 40mm 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 TCL80X40S
The AirTAC TCL80X40S is a JIS guided twin-rod double-acting cylinder integrating a steel-ball linear bearing within a single body. It delivers 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, making it suited to heavy-duty lifting and positioning tasks. The integrated guide unit removes the need to align a separate external linear rail, saving engineering time and assembly space.
Featuring a Ø25 mm piston rod and Ø25 mm guide rods, this 80 mm bore model operates at speeds of 50-400 mm/s. The steel-ball bearing ensures low-friction, stick-slip-free travel for highly accurate vertical movements. It maintains a tight ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance, keeping fixtures square under significant off-centre loads. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers, as no adjustable pneumatic cushion is present.

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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max | 513 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø25 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 TCL80X40S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Lifting
Lifts loaded pallets vertically using 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, leveraging the steel-ball bearing for smooth travel without stick-slip under heavy weight.
Welding Fixture Actuation
Moves a heavy welding head square to the joint, relying on the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance and Ø25 guide rods to resist moment loads precisely.
Heavy Gate Stopping
Halts a fast-moving conveyor load using 3519 N of push at 0.7 MPa, absorbing the impact via fixed TPU end bumpers without needing an external shock absorber.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X40S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80 mm bore involves evaluating your load requirements against its 2513 N push at 0.5 MPa. If your application needs less force, the adjacent Ø63 bore provides 1559 N of push. For greater thrust, the Ø100 bore offers 3929 N. The 40 mm stroke here is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this size.
Consider the TCM series instead if your duty cycle involves severe impact or heavily dusty radial loads, as its brass sliding bearing handles those environments better. Remember that air pressure loss causes the rod to drift downward, since the guide resists rotation rather than gravity; employ an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. This SKU features a standard built-in magnet (S) and default PT threaded 3/8" ports.
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 TCL80X40S FAQ
This 80 mm bore cylinder generates 2513 N of push and 2268 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 3519 N. The theoretical maximum force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Its operating speed range is 50-400 mm/s.
Every TC cylinder includes a standard built-in magnet (S) compatible with AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches, which mount into any of the four sensor slots. End-of-stroke energy is absorbed solely by fixed rubber TPU bumpers; there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set.
