The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X60SH 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.
The AirTAC TCM32X60SH is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. It integrates the drive piston and two guide rods into a single body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail while delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. With a 32 mm bore and 60 mm stroke, this double-acting unit provides a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.06°, keeping blades or grippers perfectly square under offset loads.
Designed for harsh environments, the brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. It features a Viton (FKM) seal for broader temperature endurance, a Ø16 mm piston rod, and 1/8" PT ports. Stroke termination is absorbed by fixed rubber TPU bumpers, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet works seamlessly with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across 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.
| 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.

Sister type: TCL32X60 (steel-ball linear bearing, lower friction & higher precision). Thread codes: blank = PT · G · T = NPT.
Delivering 563 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, this cylinder compacts sand molds while the brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit and high heat that would jam a steel-ball guide.
The twin guide rods absorb the radial impact of arriving pallets, using the 402 N push force to halt loads securely while maintaining ±0.06° torsional stability.
Handling offset parts on a transfer line is smooth thanks to the Ø16 mm rod and integrated guide, which prevent twist under eccentric loads without needing a separate rail.
Selecting this 32 mm bore yields 402 N push and 302 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to a Ø25 model provides roughly 245 N of push, while moving up to a Ø40 bore increases thrust to about 628 N. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your application demands low-friction precision or high vertical load handling rather than impact tolerance.
When replacing this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 1/8" port size, PT thread form, and standard S magnet. Note that air pressure drives both extension and retraction; the guide prevents rotation but will not stop the rod from drifting downward if air is lost or a valve is centered. Install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding.
Quick checklist
This double-acting cylinder generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 563 N of push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa, runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and features a 1/8" port with a Ø16 mm piston rod.
Each end of the stroke is softened by a fixed rubber TPU bumper. The TC series does not use an adjustable air cushion or cushion screw, simplifying setup while reliably absorbing the stop impact.
