Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X125-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X125-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 125mm 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 TCM32X125-S
The AirTAC TCM32X125-S is a JIS-standard, double-acting twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two integrated guide rods, completely eliminating the need for an external linear rail while delivering 402 N of push force and 302 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa. The integrated guide unit prevents rotation to a tight ±0.06° tolerance, keeping a gripper or blade perfectly square under off-centre loads.
Designed for dirty, impacting duty cycles, the brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and coolant where a steel-ball guide would jam or wear prematurely, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. The Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" PT ports provide straightforward plumbing, while the integrated body incorporates fixed TPU bumpers at both ends to soften the end-of-stroke impact without requiring any air-cushion adjustment. A standard built-in magnet allows position tracking via CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.

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 TCM32X125-S Is Used
Pallet Stop Gate
Halting heavy pallets on a dusty transfer line is easy with the 402 N push force, as the brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive debris and hard impacts without jamming.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moving a loaded gripper assembly stays square under torque thanks to the ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance, preventing part misalignment during robotic pick-and-place.
Foundry Pattern Push
Pressing sand-mould patterns in a gritty foundry environment is ideal for this cylinder, where the twin guide rods handle the radial load and the brass bearing shrugs off sand grit.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X125-S the Right Cylinder?
This 32 mm bore guided cylinder provides 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust mid-range choice for heavy side-load manipulation. If your application requires less force, step down to the Ø25 model which yields roughly 245 N of push. For heavier gating or lifting demands, consider stepping up to the Ø40 bore, which generates about 628 N at the same 0.5 MPa pressure. The 125 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring immediate availability.
Select the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your task demands low-friction, high-precision vertical movement. Keep in mind that a TCM will not hold a load vertically if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the rod will drift; you must add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning. The -S denotes the standard built-in magnet, and the 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 TCM32X125-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder generates 402 N of push force and 302 N of pull force. At its maximum 0.7 MPa operating pressure, the push increases to 563 N, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf.
No, the TCM series uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end to soften the impact at the end of stroke. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set, ensuring simple, maintenance-free operation in harsh environments.
