Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X50SH
The AirTAC TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X50SH is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 50mm 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 TCM25X50SH
The AirTAC TCM25X50SH is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder built for double-acting operation, integrating a robust brass sliding bearing. It yields 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa while keeping components square under offset loads, courtesy of a ±0.08° non-rotating tolerance. A central Ø12 mm piston rod drives the load, fed by 1/8" ports. This 50 mm stroke suits mid-range positioning tasks without needing an external linear rail.
Designed for harsh environments, the brass sleeve shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks where a steel-ball guide would jam. Stroke terminations hit fixed TPU elastomer pads, absorbing shock without any air-cushion screw to adjust. High-temperature Viton (FKM) seals widen the operating envelope, and the standard built-in magnet pairs directly with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic sensors across four body slots.

| 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 TCM25X50SH Is Used
Foundry Pattern Ejection
Withstanding hot, gritty environments, the brass bearing ejects sand-mould patterns using 245 N of push force without jamming from debris.
Pallet Stopper Gate
Halting heavy pallets on a transfer line is handled by the impact-tolerant sliding sleeve, absorbing radial shock via the fixed TPU bumper.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moving a part gripper off-axis relies on the ±0.08° anti-rotation tolerance to keep the tool plate perfectly square throughout the 50 mm extension.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X50SH the Right Cylinder?
If your task needs less force, the Ø20 bore provides roughly 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa; conversely, stepping up to the Ø32 bore yields 402 N for heavier displacement. For applications demanding low-friction movement or extreme vertical precision rather than impact resistance, consider the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing. Remember that this unit will not maintain its position if air pressure drops, as the guide prevents rotation but not gravity-induced drift; install an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. Replacement match: 25 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, 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 TCM25X50SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. At the maximum 0.7 MPa, push increases to 344 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf.
Each end incorporates a fixed rubber TPU bumper to soften the mechanical stop. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw present on the TC series.
