Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM50X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM50X35S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 35mm 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 TCM50X35S
The AirTAC TCM50X35S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A drive piston operates between two guide rods within a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail while actively preventing rotation. Generating 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting actuator is tailored for heavy-duty positioning. Its 35 mm stroke handles short-travel clamping and gating tasks with precision.
Built 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. The non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05° keeps a gripper or plate perfectly square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Air is plumbed via 1/4" ports, feeding a Ø20 mm piston rod.

| 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 |

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 TCM50X35S Is Used
Foundry Sand-Mould Press
Delivering 982 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder compacts sand moulds. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit and high impact where a steel-ball guide would jam.
Heavy Pallet Stopper
Halting loaded pallets on a transfer line relies on the twin guide rods to absorb severe radial loads. The ±0.05° non-rotating accuracy keeps the stopper blade square during impact.
Weld-Cell Clamp
Clamping steel sections in a robotic weld cell exposes the actuator to spatter and heat. The brass bearing shrugs off contamination while the 1/4" ports deliver rapid clamping force.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM50X35S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to an Ø40 cylinder yields about 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to an Ø63 bore provides 1559 N. Choose this Ø50 model for medium-heavy radial loads. If your application demands low-friction movement or high-precision vertical handling, the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing is the better fit. Note that a TC cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; the rod drifts, so add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning. This SKU includes the standard built-in magnet (S) and uses default PT thread ports.
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 TCM50X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder generates 982 N of push force and 825 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 1374 N. The maximum theoretical force is 200 kgf.
Each end lands on a fixed TPU rubber bumper that softens the impact. The TC series does not feature an adjustable air cushion or cushion screw. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four body slots.
