Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X65S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X65S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 65mm 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 TCM25X65S
The AirTAC TCM25X65S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder engineered for double-acting operation. A central Ø12 mm piston rod generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, while twin guide rods in a single integrated body absorb side load and torque. This built-in guide unit eliminates the need to align a separate external linear rail, saving engineering time. The brass sliding bearing is specifically designed for dirty, impacting environments, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder.
With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.08°, this unit keeps a gripper or blade perfectly square under off-centre loads. The 65 mm stroke operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, fed by 1/8" PT ports. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at each end, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet works seamlessly with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots, and the body features precision locating holes for repeatable mounting.

| 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 TCM25X65S Is Used
Pallet Stop Gate
Halting heavy pallets on a dusty transfer line, the brass sliding bearing tolerates grit and hard knocks while delivering 245 N of push to gate the load reliably.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moving a clamping gripper with an unbalanced payload, the ±0.08° non-rotating accuracy keeps the jaws square without needing a separate external linear guide.
Foundry Pattern Push
Pushing sand-mould patterns in a contaminated environment, the impact-tolerant brass bearing shrugs off debris where a steel-ball guide would wear and jam.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X65S the Right Cylinder?
If your application requires less force, the adjacent Ø20 bore provides 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø32 bore yields 402 N. The brass sliding bearing is optimal for dusty, heavy-radial-duty environments where a steel-ball guide would jam from contamination; if your priority is low-friction precision for vertical high-load work, consider the sister TCL series instead. To match this exact unit, specify a 25 mm bore, 65 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet.
Note that this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the rod will drift. The guide resists rotation, not gravity, so incorporate an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe position holding.
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 TCM25X65S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder provides 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 344 N, with a theoretical maximum force of 50 kgf.
No, the stroke ends are damped by fixed rubber TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. This makes the cylinder highly durable in hard-knocking applications.
