Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X200S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X200S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 200mm stroke on twin guide rods. Its integrated brass sliding bearing gives high radial-load and impact resistance — about double the horizontal impact tolerance of a plain cylinder, holding the tool square to ±0.05° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X200S
The AirTAC TCM100X200S is a JIS-standard twin-rod double-acting guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central Ø25 mm drive piston runs between two Ø32 mm guide rods integrated into a single body, generating 3927 N of push and 3682 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. Because the guide unit prevents rotation to a tight ±0.05° tolerance and carries heavy side loads, you can mount a large off-centre gripper or heavy plate directly without adding an external linear rail. The brass bearing shrugs off weld spatter, coolant, and hard knocks—offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder—making it ideal for dirty, high-radial-force industrial duty.
This 200 mm stroke model operates at 50-400 mm/s and feeds through 3/8" ports. Stroke terminations are softened by fixed TPU bumpers at both ends; there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set or maintain. The standard built-in magnet enables position tracking, and precision locating holes allow you to remove and re-fit the unit without re-teaching your machine coordinates.

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 (Ø100mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3927 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5498 N | — |
| Max | 801 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 TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X200S Is Used
Foundry Sand Mould Press
With 5498 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, this cylinder compacts heavy foundry sand moulds. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit and extreme heat where a steel-ball guide would seize.
Heavy Pallet Stopper Gate
Halting a loaded pallet transfer line subjects the rod to severe radial shock. The twin guide rods absorb the impact, and the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance keeps the stopper blade perfectly square.
Weld Cell Clamp Arm
Clamping thick steel frames in a robotic weld cell exposes the cylinder to spatter and knocks. The brass sleeve resists this contamination, delivering 3927 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X200S the Right Cylinder?
Select the Ø100 bore when your application demands massive thrust, here delivering 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa (up to 5498 N at 0.7 MPa). If you need slightly less force, step down to the Ø80 model which provides 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa; as the largest standard bore in the TCM family, there is no larger step-up within this series. Choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your task requires low-friction precision or vertical high-load handling rather than raw impact tolerance. To replicate this exact unit, specify bore 100, stroke 200, 3/8" ports with PT thread, and the standard S magnet. Remember that a TCM does not secure a suspended load if air pressure drops or the valve centers—the rod will drift; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe 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 TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X200S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 3927 N of push and 3682 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5498 N. The maximum theoretical force is 801 kgf.
Moulded rubber TPU bumpers absorb the impact at both stroke ends. The TC series does not use an adjustable air cushion, so there is no cushion screw to tune. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four body slots.
