The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X75SH is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 75mm 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 TCM32X75SH is a JIS-standard guided twin-rod cylinder built for double-acting operation. A central drive piston moves between two guide rods integrated into a single body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. This brass sliding bearing design shrugs off dust, grit, and coolant, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. It delivers 402 N of push and 302 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it a robust choice for heavy side-load duty.
Precision is locked in with a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.06°, keeping your gripper or blade perfectly square under off-centre loads. The Ø16 mm piston rod and 1/8" PT ports provide solid plumbing and fit details. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Because a Viton (FKM) seal is fitted, this unit handles wider temperature ranges than standard NBR models. The standard built-in magnet works 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.
| TC | Tri-rod (guided, twin-rod) cylinder, double acting. |
|---|---|
| M | Bearing: Brass sliding bearing (M = brass sliding). |
| 32 | Bore size in mm. |
| ×75 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet (standard on TC) for a magnetic sensor switch. |
Sister type: TCL32X75 (steel-ball linear bearing, lower friction & higher precision). Thread codes: blank = PT · G · T = NPT.
With 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder halts heavy pallets. The brass sliding bearing tolerates the dusty, knocking environment of a transfer line where a ball guide would jam.
Holding a tight ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance keeps an off-centre gripper square during part transfer. The twin guide rods absorb the twisting moment without needing an external rail.
The FKM seals and brass sliding bearing survive hot, gritty foundry environments. It provides 563 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa to compact sand moulds, shrugging off contamination.
When sizing this model, consider its neighbours: stepping down to a Ø25 bore yields about 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to a Ø40 bore provides roughly 628 N. If your task demands low-friction movement or extreme vertical precision rather than raw impact survival, choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead. To match this exact unit for replacement, use bore 32, stroke 75, 1/8" ports, PT thread, and the standard S magnet. Remember that a guided cylinder does not resist gravity if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. For a fail-safe hold, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, push force is 402 N and pull force is 302 N. At 0.7 MPa, push is 563 N, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf. Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper; there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw.
You can mount from the top, bottom (screw or T-slot), or rear face, using precision locating holes so re-fitting requires no re-teaching. The standard built-in magnet tracks position via AirTAC CS1 (reed) or DS1 (electronic) switches in any of the four sensor slots.
