Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM50X200-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM50X200-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 200mm 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 ±0.05° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM50X200-S
The AirTAC TCM50X200-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder with a 50 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. A drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, carrying side load and torque so no external linear rail is required. It generates 982 N of push and 825 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. This makes it ideal for dirty, heavy-radial-duty environments where a steel-ball guide would wear or jam from contamination.
Anti-rotation precision is tight, with a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping a gripper or blade square under an off-centre load. The Ø20 mm piston rod is fed by 1/4" ports. Stroke termination is handled by fixed TPU rubber bumpers at each end, absorbing the stop without any adjustable air-cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches across four sensor slots. Ports are PT by default.

|---|---|
| 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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max | 200 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø20 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 TCM50X200-S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line Stop
Halts heavy loaded pallets on a dusty conveyor using 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates the abrasive grit and repeated hard impacts that would jam a steel-ball guide.
Foundry Sand-Mould Pattern Push
Presses sand-casting patterns in a hot, dirty foundry. The twin guide rods maintain a ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance to keep the pattern plate perfectly square under offset radial loads.
Weld-Cell Clamp Actuation
Drives an off-centre clamping arm in a robotic weld cell. The integrated body and brass bearings absorb weld spatter and side torque, delivering 1374 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa without needing an external slide.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM50X200-S the Right Cylinder?
This 50 mm bore provides 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the Ø40 bore which yields roughly 628 N of push; if your application requires more power, the Ø63 bore delivers about 1559 N. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your task demands low friction, high precision, or vertical high-load handling. To replicate this exact unit, specify a 50 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 1/4" PT ports, and the standard S magnet. Remember that a TC cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the rod will drift; the guide resists rotation, not gravity. For a fail-safe hold, install 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 TCM50X200-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 50 mm bore cylinder provides 982 N of push and 825 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf.
A moulded rubber bumper absorbs the stop at both ends, with no air-cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet allows you to drop an AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switch into one of the four body slots for position detection.
