Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X100-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X100-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 100mm 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 TCM63X100-S
The AirTAC TCM63X100-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail while carrying high side loads and torque. It delivers 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, making it suited for heavy-duty positioning tasks.
The brass sliding bearing provides roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder, shrugging off grit, coolant, and hard knocks where a steel-ball guide would jam. A non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05° keeps a gripper or blade square under off-centre loads. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, and the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.

| 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 | ±0.05° (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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max | 318 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 TCM63X100-S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line Stopper
Halts heavy inbound pallets using 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates dusty conveyor environments and absorbs the repeated radial impacts that would stall a ball-guide unit.
Foundry Sand Mould Press
Pushes and compacts sand mould patterns with up to 318 kgf of theoretical force. The integrated twin guide rods prevent rotation to ±0.05°, keeping the press plate perfectly square under off-centre loads.
Heavy Gate Diversion Arm
Actuates a large sorting gate on a lumber line. The Ø20 piston rod on 1/4" ports provides solid plumbing flow, while the brass bearings survive gritty sawmill dust and heavy side-loading without jamming.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X100-S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, consider stepping down to a Ø50 bore for roughly 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, or moving up to an Ø80 bore for 2513 N if your application demands more force. The Ø63 strikes a balance for medium-to-heavy radial loads. If your duty cycle requires low-friction precision or vertical high-load handling rather than impact resistance, choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing.
To replicate this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 1/4" port size, PT thread form, and the standard S magnet. Note that a guided cylinder will drift if air pressure is lost; the guide resists rotation but not gravity, so add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding.
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 TCM63X100-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. When operating at 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force is rated at 318 kgf.
The TCM uses a brass sliding bearing that shrugs off dust, grit, and coolant, offering about double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. The TCL uses a steel-ball linear bearing designed for low-friction precision and vertical high loads, but it can jam or wear prematurely under heavy contamination.
