Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X90S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X90S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 90mm 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 TCM25X90S
The AirTAC TCM25X90S is a JIS-standard guided twin-rod cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. This double-acting drive piston runs between two guide rods integrated into a single body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. It delivers 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it well-suited for a 90 mm stroke that handles substantial side loads and gating tasks.
Designed for harsh environments, the brass bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. The Ø12 mm piston rod operates on 1/8" ports, while the integrated guide maintains a ±0.08° non-rotating tolerance to keep your tooling square under offset loads. Stroke ends are absorbed by fixed TPU bumpers, as this series uses no adjustable air cushion.

| 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) |
| Cushion | Rubber bumper |
| Max std stroke | Up to 250 mm |
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 TCM25X90S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line Stop
With 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder halts heavy pallets on a dusty conveyor. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit where a steel-ball guide would jam.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
The ±0.08° non-rotating tolerance keeps an offset gripper plate square during 90 mm travel, absorbing lateral torsion without needing an external linear guide.
Weld-Cell Component Clamp
Generating 344 N at 0.7 MPa, it clamps parts in a dirty weld-cell. The brass bearing handles weld spatter and hard knocks better than a standard cylinder.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM25X90S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its 245 N thrust (at 0.5 MPa) against neighboring bores: the Ø20 provides 157 N for lighter duty, while the Ø32 yields 402 N for heavier pushing. If your application demands high-precision vertical movement or low-friction handling, consider the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead of this brass-slide design. The standard built-in magnet (S) supports CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots. Remember that this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure drops; install an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe positioning. Port thread is PT by default.
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 TCM25X90S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder generates 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 344 N. The maximum theoretical force is 50 kgf.
Each end of stroke lands on a fixed rubber TPU bumper; there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. Additionally, the guide resists rotation but not gravity, so the rod will drift if air pressure is lost—use an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
