Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X80SH
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X80SH is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 80mm 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 TCM32X80SH
The AirTAC TCM32X80S 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. The brass bearing shrugs off grit, weld spatter, and hard knocks, offering roughly twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder where a steel-ball guide might jam from contamination.
This double-acting unit features a 16 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports, achieving a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.06° to keep grippers or blades perfectly square under off-centre loads. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at each end to soften impacts, as there is no adjustable air cushion screw to tune. The standard built-in magnet allows position detection, and Viton (FKM) seals extend the operating temperature range for hotter industrial environments.

| 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 TCM32X80SH Is Used
Foundry Sand Pusher
Handles 402 N of push to compact sand moulds, where the brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit and heat that would jam a steel-ball guide.
Pallet Stop Gate
Halts heavy pallets on a transfer line; the twin guide rods absorb the radial impact load while maintaining ±0.06° non-rotating accuracy.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Picks uneven parts with 563 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, relying on the integrated brass bearing to prevent twist under moment loads.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM32X80SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, compare its 402 N thrust at 0.5 MPa against neighbouring bores: stepping down to a Ø25 yields about 245 N, while moving up to a Ø40 provides 628 N. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your application demands low-friction movement, extreme vertical lifting precision, or high-load capacity without impact. Remember that the twin guide rods resist rotation but do not prevent the rod from drifting down if air pressure is lost; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding. Replacement requires matching the 32 mm bore, 80 mm stroke, 1/8" PT thread, and standard S magnet.
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 TCM32X80SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 32 mm bore cylinder generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull. At its 0.7 MPa operating tier, the push increases to 563 N, with a theoretical maximum force of 82 kgf.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion. Both stroke ends are softened by fixed TPU rubber bumpers. For low-friction precision work instead of impact absorption, consider the TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing.
