Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X150-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X150-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 150mm 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 TCM32X150-S
The AirTAC TCM32X150-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, actively preventing rotation and absorbing side loads without needing an external linear rail. Delivering 402 N of push and 302 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting actuator is built for heavy-radial-duty work. The brass bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and coolant where a steel-ball guide would jam, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder.
This 32 mm bore unit carries a Ø16 mm piston rod and uses 1/8" ports. It holds a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06°, keeping grippers or blades perfectly square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Two independent upper and side port groups let you feed air from whichever face is clear, while four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches via the standard built-in magnet.

| 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 | ±0.06° (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 (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 TCM32X150-S Is Used
Dusty Transfer Line Pallet Stop
Halts heavy pallets on a gritty conveyor using 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive dust and hard knocks that would jam a steel-ball guide.
Foundry Sand-Mould Pattern Push
Pushes sand-mould patterns square against an off-centre load, leveraging the ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance to keep the tool plate perfectly aligned in harsh environments.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Transfers an asymmetric part gripper over 150 mm, absorbing the radial torque. The integrated twin-rod body removes the need to align a separate cylinder to an external guide rail.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X150-S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare this 32 mm bore against its neighbours: stepping down to Ø25 yields about 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to Ø40 provides 628 N. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your task demands low-friction precision or vertical high-load handling. To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet. Remember that this actuator does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred—the rod drifts; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated 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 TCM32X150-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf.
No, there is no air-cushion screw to set. A moulded rubber bumper absorbs the stop at both ends. For position holding without live air, add an external rod lock since the guide resists rotation, not gravity.
