Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X175-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X175-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 175mm 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 TCM63X175-S
The AirTAC TCM63X175-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods integrated into a single body, completely eliminating the need for an external linear rail. This double-acting actuator delivers 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, driven by a Ø20 mm piston rod on 1/4" ports. Its integrated guide unit resists rotation to a tight ±0.05° tolerance, keeping blades or grippers perfectly square under offset forces.
Designed for harsh environments, the brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and coolant where a steel-ball guide would jam or wear prematurely, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. Operating at 30-500 mm/s, this 175 mm stroke model absorbs end-of-travel shocks via fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion. Four sensor slots accept CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to track the standard built-in magnet, while upper and side port groups simplify plumbing in tight fixtures.

| 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 (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 TCM63X175-S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Stop
Deploying 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm actuator halts loaded pallets on a transfer line. The brass sliding bearing absorbs the repeated hard side-impacts where a linear ball bushing would fracture.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moving a heavy clamping jaw over 175 mm, the twin guide rods maintain a strict ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance. This keeps the gripper square under eccentric loads without needing a separate guide rail.
Foundry Pattern Push
In a dusty foundry pushing sand-mould patterns, the brass bearing tolerates grit and high heat. It delivers 2182 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa to seat heavy cores firmly without jamming.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X175-S the Right Cylinder?
If 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa is too much for your layout, stepping down to the Ø50 bore yields roughly 982 N of push. Conversely, moving up to the Ø80 bore provides 2513 N for heavier gating tasks. Choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your duty is vertical high-load or demands low-friction precision rather than impact tolerance. Remember that this guide resists rotation, not gravity; the rod will drift down if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding. This PT-threaded unit includes the standard S magnet; bore, stroke, and 1/4" porting match the base SKU.
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 TCM63X175-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the Ø63 bore generates 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf.
Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. There is no air-cushion screw to set on the TC series; the moulded rubber bumper simply softens the stop at both ends.
