Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X70S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X70S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 70mm 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 TCM100X70S
The AirTAC TCM100X70S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. Designed for double-acting operation, it integrates the drive piston and two guide rods into a single body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. This specific 100 mm bore configuration generates a substantial 3927 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 25 mm piston rod and 32 mm guide rods to manage heavy industrial loads.
Built for punishing environments, the brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a conventional plain cylinder. It provides a tight non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping heavy grippers or plates perfectly square under off-centre loads. The unit operates at 50-400 mm/s, feeds air through 3/8" ports, and relies on fixed TPU bumpers at each stroke end to absorb impact, 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 (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 TCM100X70S Is Used
Foundry Sand Mould Press
Pushing heavy sand moulds in a foundry exposes the cylinder to extreme grit and heat. The brass sliding bearing tolerates this contamination where a steel-ball guide would jam, while delivering 5498 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa to compact the mould securely.
Heavy Pallet Stopper Gate
Halting a 1000 kg pallet flow on a packaging line creates massive radial impact. The twin guide rods carry this side load directly without needing an external shock absorber, and the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance keeps the stopper blade perfectly vertical.
Steel Beam Transfer Pusher
Indexing raw steel beams into a cutting saw requires high force and extreme mechanical forgiveness. The brass sliding bearing withstands weld spatter and hard mechanical knocks, providing 3927 N of push at 0.5 MPa to move the heavy stock into position.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM100X70S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the TCM100X70S provides 3927 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, making it the powerhouse of the series. If you need slightly less force, the Ø80 bore is the nearest step down, delivering roughly 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa. As the largest available bore, this 100 mm option stands unchallenged at the top of the range. The built-in magnet (S) is standard, and the port thread is PT by default.
Choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your application demands exceptionally low friction, high-precision positioning, or vertical high-load movement. Keep in mind that this guided cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift under gravity. For fail-safe positioning, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. To replace this unit, match the 100 mm bore, 70 mm stroke, 3/8" port size, PT thread, and standard S magnet.
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 TCM100X70S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 100 mm bore cylinder provides 3927 N of push and 3682 N of pull. When operating at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 5498 N. The maximum theoretical force rating is 801 kgf.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw on this model. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads (TPU bumpers) at each end to soften the mechanical stop. For position holding without air pressure, an external rod lock is required.
