Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X20SG
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X20SG is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 20mm 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 ±0.08° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X20SG
The AirTAC TCM25X20SG 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. Generating 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting unit is tailored for short-stroke gating and clamping. The brass sleeve construction shrugs off weld spatter, grit, and hard mechanical knocks, offering roughly twice the horizontal impact resistance of a conventional plain cylinder.
Precision is locked in by a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.08°, keeping gripper jaws or work plates perfectly square under offset loads. The Ø12 mm piston rod is driven through 1/8" G (BSPP) ports, while fixed TPU bumpers absorb end-of-stroke impacts without requiring any air-cushion adjustment. Four sensor slots accommodate CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to track the standard built-in magnet.

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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max | 50 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø12 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 TCM25X20SG Is Used
Weld-Cell Part Clamp
Tolerates spatter and contamination where a steel-ball guide would jam, using its 245 N push to hold heavy steel brackets firmly during robotic welding.
Dusty Transfer Line Gate
The brass sliding bearing survives abrasive dust while cycling the 20 mm stroke to halt pallets, resisting deflection with its ±0.08° non-rotating accuracy.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Supports the side load of an offset part pick with its integrated twin guide rods, keeping the gripper square without needing a separate linear rail.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X20SG the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 245 N thrust (at 0.5 MPa) against adjacent bores: the smaller Ø20 yields 157 N of push, whereas stepping up to the Ø32 provides 402 N. Choose this Ø25 model when your application demands moderate force with high impact tolerance in a dirty environment. If your task instead requires low-friction movement, extreme vertical lifting, or high-precision linear guiding, the sister TCL series with its steel-ball bearing is the better fit. Keep in mind that the guide prevents rod rotation but will not hold a load vertically if air pressure drops; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning. This specific SKU specifies a 20 mm stroke and G-thread ports.
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 TCM25X20SG FAQ
It generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 344 N of push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 50 kgf. The operating pressure range is 0.15-1.0 MPa, and it runs at speeds between 30 and 500 mm/s.
No, stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer TPU pads rather than an adjustable cushion. There is no cushion screw to set. Additionally, the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 (reed) and DS1 (electronic) switches across four available sensor slots.
