Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X35S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 35mm 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 TCM25X35S
The AirTAC TCM25X35S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. Delivering 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting unit handles off-centre loads with a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.08°, keeping grippers or tooling plates perfectly square during transit.
Engineered for harsh environments, the brass bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks—offering roughly twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder where a steel-ball guide might jam. The Ø12 mm piston rod is driven via 1/8" ports, and stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. A standard built-in magnet enables position feedback through four sensor grooves, and precision locating holes ensure repeatable mounting without re-teaching positions.

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 TCM25X35S Is Used
Pallet Stop Arm
Halts heavy pallets on a dusty transfer line; the brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit and repeated side-impacts that would stall a ball-bearing guide, using 245 N of push to gate the load.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Shifts an asymmetrical part gripper with ±0.08° non-rotating accuracy, ensuring the jaws remain square against the workpiece despite the radial load during the 35 mm pick-and-place motion.
Weld Cell Clamp
Positions a clamping fixture in a spatter-prone weld cell; the impact-resistant brass sleeve shrugs off hot debris while routing air cleanly through the 1/8" upper or side ports.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X35S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 25 mm bore provides 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa (344 N at 0.7 MPa). If your application requires less force, stepping down to the Ø20 bore yields about 157 N of push, while moving up to the Ø32 bore provides 402 N. For tasks demanding extreme vertical precision or low-friction movement rather than impact survival, the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing is the better choice. To replace this unit, match the 25 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, 1/8" port, and PT thread; the built-in magnet (S) is standard. Note that guided cylinders drift if air pressure is lost, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve if gravity-fail safety is required.
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 TCM25X35S 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.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. Each end of stroke is softened by a fixed rubber (TPU) bumper. For position sensing, the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.
