Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X35S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 35mm 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 TCM32X35S
The AirTAC TCM32X35S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder with a double-acting drive piston that produces 402 N of push and 302 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. A central Ø16 mm piston rod generates this thrust, while two integrated guide rods handle the radial load and torque, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. The brass sliding bearing is built for harsh duty, shrugging off grit and hard knocks where a steel-ball guide would jam.
With a 35 mm stroke, this unit holds a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06°, keeping a gripper or blade perfectly square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. The standard built-in magnet allows CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to track position via four sensor slots, and 1/8" PT ports offer flexible plumbing from upper or side groups.

| 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 |

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 TCM32X35S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line Stop
Halts heavy moving pallets with 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates accumulated dust and wood debris on the line, outlasting a ball guide in this dirty environment.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Carries an asymmetric part gripper while maintaining a strict ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance. The twin guide rods absorb the induced torsional moment without requiring an external rail.
Foundry Sand-Mould Push
Pushes and positions sand-mould patterns in a gritty, high-impact foundry setting. The brass sleeve handles about 2× the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder, surviving harsh knocks.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X35S the Right Cylinder?
If 402 N at 0.5 MPa is too much force, step down to the Ø25 bore which yields about 245 N of push; if you need more power, the Ø40 bore delivers roughly 628 N. Choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your application demands low-friction precision or high vertical loading. To replicate this exact unit, specify a 32 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet.
Note that this guided cylinder will not hold its load if air pressure drops or the valve is centred, as the rod will drift. For fail-safe vertical holding, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve to the circuit.
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 TCM32X35S 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 maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf.
A moulded rubber bumper absorbs the stop at both ends, with no air-cushion screw to set. The TC series uses fixed TPU pads instead of an adjustable cushion.
