Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X60S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 60mm 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 TCM100X60S
The AirTAC TCM100X60S is a JIS standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. It integrates the drive piston and two guide rods into a single body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail while delivering massive thrust. It generates 3927 N of push force and 3682 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa, peaking at 801 kgf theoretical maximum. The brass bearing shrugs off grit, coolant, and hard impacts, offering about double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder.
This 100 mm bore unit uses a Ø25 piston rod and Ø32 guide rods, plumbed via 3/8" ports. It maintains a strict ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, keeping heavy plates or blades perfectly square under off-centre loads. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at both ends, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to tune. Operating speed spans 50-400 mm/s across a 0.15-1.0 MPa pressure range.

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 TCM100X60S Is Used
Foundry Sand Mould Press
Tolerates extreme heat and sand grit where a steel-ball guide would jam, using its 5498 N of 0.7 MPa thrust to compact heavy foundry moulds square to the pattern.
Pallet Transfer Line Stop
Halts heavy loaded pallets on a dusty conveyor using the brass sliding bearing's 2x impact resistance, absorbing the hard knock without an external shock absorber.
Heavy Plate Positioning Gate
Leverages the Ø32 guide rods and ±0.05° anti-rotation tolerance to swing or clamp thick steel plates off-centre without twisting, pushing with 3927 N at 0.5 MPa.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X60S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 100 mm bore model when your application demands extreme push power, delivering 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. If you need slightly less force, stepping down to the Ø80 bore yields 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa. Since 100 mm is the largest standard TCM bore, moving up requires a custom solution. The built-in magnet (standard S) supports CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in four body slots. Thread form is PT by default.
Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your task requires low-friction precision or vertical high-load handling rather than heavy impact resistance. Remember that this cylinder does not hold its load unpowered; if air pressure drops, the rod drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe positioning.
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 TCM100X60S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push and 3682 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 5498 N. The maximum theoretical force is 801 kgf.
No, stroke ends are damped by fixed rubber TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. There is no cushion screw to set, which suits dirty environments where fine adjustment would be a liability.
