Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X50S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X50S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 50mm 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 TCL80X50S
The AirTAC TCL80X50S is a JIS double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder incorporating a steel-ball linear bearing for high-precision, low-friction movement. A drive piston operates between two guide rods within a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. Generating 2513 N of push and 2268 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore unit is built for substantial actuation tasks.
It features a Ø25 mm piston rod and Ø25 mm guide rods that provide exceptional side-load capacity. The steel-ball bearing ensures smooth travel without the stick-slip of plain bearings, making it optimal for vertical lifts. With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.04°, it keeps heavy plates or blades square under off-centre loads. Stroke termination uses fixed TPU rubber pads, as no adjustable air 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 TCL80X50S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Stop Gate
Halts loaded pallets on a conveyor using 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the rigid guide rods absorbing the high radial impact without bending.
Press Platen Lowering
Lowers a heavy press platen smoothly on vertical tracks, leveraging the steel-ball linear bearing to prevent stick-slip and ensure accurate positioning.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Shifts an asymmetrical gripper carrying massive parts, maintaining ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance to keep the jaws aligned under torque.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X50S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80 mm bore model provides 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the adjacent Ø63 bore yields 1559 N of push. For heavier demands, the Ø100 bore offers 3927 N. Consider the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing if your duty cycle involves severe impact or heavily dusty radial loads. To replicate this actuator, specify bore 80, stroke 50, 3/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet.
Be aware that this cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the control valve centers; the rod will drift. The twin guide rods resist rotation but not gravity, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe vertical 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 TCL80X50S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 2513 N of push and 2268 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 3519 N. The maximum theoretical force is 513 kgf at 1.0 MPa. Operating speed for this 80 mm bore is 50-400 mm/s.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. Each end of stroke is damped by a fixed rubber TPU bumper. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
