Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X100-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X100-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 100mm 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 ±0.06° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X100-S
The AirTAC TCM32X100-S is a JIS standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. This double-acting drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail while actively preventing rotation. It delivers 402 N of push and 302 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it well suited for medium-duty positioning tasks on a 100 mm stroke.
The integrated brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06°, it keeps a gripper or blade square under off-centre loads. The Ø16 mm piston rod uses 1/8" ports, and stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max | 82 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø16 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 TCM32X100-S Is Used
Pallet Stop Gate
Halts heavy pallets on a dusty transfer line; the brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit where a steel-ball guide would jam, while 402 N of thrust handles the stopping force.
Foundry Pattern Push
Pushes sand-mould patterns straight against side loads, leveraging the ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance to keep the pattern plate perfectly square during impact.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moves an offset clamping jaw on a 100 mm stroke, using the twin guide rods to absorb torsional moment without requiring a separate external linear guide.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X100-S the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore generates 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, the Ø25 bore provides about 245 N of push; for heavier duty, the Ø40 bore offers 628 N at the same pressure. The standard built-in magnet (S) supports AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots. Ports follow the PT tapered thread form by default. Choose the sister TCL series if your task demands the low-friction precision of a steel-ball linear bearing for vertical high-load work. To match this unit, specify bore 32, stroke 100, port 1/8", thread PT, and magnet S. Remember that a TCM will not hold a load if air pressure drops; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe positioning.
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 TCM32X100-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 402 N of push and 302 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. A fixed rubber TPU bumper absorbs the impact at each end of the stroke.
