Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X60-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X60-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 60mm 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 TCM32X60-S
The AirTAC TCM32X60-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder with a brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in one integrated body, preventing rotation and carrying side load without needing an external linear rail. Delivering 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke double-acting unit uses a Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports.
The brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder where a steel-ball guide would jam. It holds a tight ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance, keeping a gripper or blade square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, and the standard built-in magnet fits CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in four body slots.

| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Stroke | 60 mm |
| 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 | ±0.06° (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 (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 TCM32X60-S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line Stop
Halts heavy pallets on a dusty conveyor using 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa; the brass sliding bearing tolerates grit and impact where a ball guide would stall.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moves a part gripper with a 60 mm stroke while holding ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance, keeping the jaws square against an unbalanced load.
Weld-Cell Clamp Positioner
Pushes a clamp in a dirty weld cell; the integrated twin guide rods absorb side torque and spatter, removing the need to align a separate cylinder to a rail.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X60-S the Right Cylinder?
If 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa is too much, step down to the Ø25 bore for roughly 245 N of thrust. If you need more force, the Ø40 bore gives about 628 N. Choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your duty is low-friction, high-precision, or vertical high-load work. To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 1/8" PT thread, and standard S magnet.
Remember that the guide resists rotation, not gravity: if air pressure drops or the valve centres, the rod will drift. For a fail-safe hold, fit an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 TCM32X60-S FAQ
It generates 402 N push and 302 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 563 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical max of 82 kgf. The port size is 1/8" PT.
Each end lands on a fixed TPU rubber bumper that softens the stop. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set on the TC series.
