Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X70S
The AirTAC Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X70S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø80mm 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 TCL80X70S
The AirTAC TCL80X70S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. A central drive piston operates between two Ø25 mm guide rods within a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. This design directly resists side loads and torque, making it ideal for heavy off-centre handling. The steel-ball bearing ensures low-friction, high-precision movement with no stick-slip, which is crucial for smooth vertical lifts.
At 80 mm bore, this double-acting unit generates 2513 N of push force and 2268 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. It maintains a tight non-rotating tolerance of ±0.04°, keeping grippers or blades square under offset loads. The cylinder operates at 50-400 mm/s and uses a Ø25 mm piston rod with 3/8" PT ports. Stroke ends are damped by fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. The standard built-in magnet (S) works 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 (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 TCL80X70S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Gating
Stops or diverts loaded pallets on a conveyor. The 2513 N push force at 0.5 MPa handles heavy mass, while the twin guide rods absorb the radial impact of striking a moving load.
Press Die Lowering
Lowers and holds a heavy stamping die accurately. The steel-ball linear bearing provides smooth, stick-slip-free descent, and the ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keeps the die block perfectly parallel.
Large Panel Transfer
Shifts wide metal panels between welding stations. The integrated twin-rod body supports the off-centre weight of the sheet without requiring a separate external guide rail.
Is the Airtac TCL Triple Axis Cylinder TCL80X70S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 80 mm bore model when your application requires substantial thrust and strict anti-rotation control. If you need slightly less force, the neighbouring Ø63 bore provides 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Because Ø80 is the second-largest available size, stepping up to the Ø100 bore yields 3927 N of push for the heaviest radial loads. The 70 mm stroke is a standard length, well within the 250 mm maximum for this bore.
Choose the sibling TCM80 series instead if your environment involves severe impact loads or heavy dust, as its brass sliding bearing handles those specific abuses better. Note that air pressure does not hold the load if the valve is centred or pressure drops; the rod will drift. For fail-safe vertical holding, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To replace this unit, specify bore 80, stroke 70, 3/8" PT ports, and the standard magnet S.
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 TCL80X70S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it delivers 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. The operating speed range for this 80 mm bore is 50-400 mm/s.
No. Each end of the stroke relies on a fixed rubber TPU bumper to soften the impact. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to tune. The standard built-in magnet supports CS1 reed and DS1 electronic sensors in the four body slots.
