Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X30SH
The AirTAC TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X30SH is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 30mm 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 TCM25X30SH
The AirTAC TCM25X30SH is a JIS-standard, double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, completely eliminating the need for an external linear rail while preventing rotation. Delivering 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this 25 mm bore unit holds a tight non-rotating tolerance of ±0.08°, keeping grippers or plates perfectly square under offset loads.
Built for dirty, heavy-side-load duty, the brass bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks where a steel-ball guide would jam, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. The 30 mm stroke ends are softened by fixed TPU rubber bumpers, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. A standard built-in magnet feeds position feedback to CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in any of the four sensor slots, while the Ø12 mm piston rod and 1/8" PT ports provide solid plumbing fit. Viton (FKM) seals widen the operating temperature envelope for demanding environments.

| Acting type | Double acting |
| Bearing | Brass sliding bearing |
| Port size | 1/8" |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Non-rotating tolerance | ±0.08° (retracted) |

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 TCM25X30SH Is Used
Pallet Stop Gate
Halting heavy pallets on a dusty transfer line, where the brass sliding bearing tolerates grit and the 245 N thrust at 0.5 MPa stops moving loads without jamming.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Picking angled metal sheets with a gripper, relying on the ±0.08° non-rotating tolerance to keep the jaws square against uneven side torque.
Weld-Cell Clamp
Holding a steel fixture in a spark-filled robotic weld cell, absorbing hard end-knocks on the 30 mm stroke using fixed TPU bumpers rather than delicate ball guides.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X30SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to the Ø20 bore (providing roughly 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa) for lighter gating tasks, or moving up to the Ø32 bore (offering about 402 N at 0.5 MPa) when you need extra clamping force. Choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your application demands low-friction precision or vertical high-load handling rather than impact tolerance. Remember that this guide resists rotation, not gravity; the rod will drift if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding. This specific SKU uses standard PT tapered ports and includes the 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 TCM25X30SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 344 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf.
Yes, the standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed and DS1 electronic switches across four body slots. Cushioning is fixed via moulded TPU rubber bumpers at each end; there is no adjustable air cushion screw.
