Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X35S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X35S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm 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 TCM63X35S
The AirTAC TCM63X35S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. Because the drive piston operates between two integrated guide rods, this unit completely eliminates the need for an external linear slide while actively resisting rotation and side loads. It generates 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a Ø20 mm piston rod. With a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.05°, it keeps wide jaws or heavy plates perfectly square even when subjected to off-centre loads.
Designed for dirty, high-impact environments, the brass bearing shrugs off grit, coolant, and hard knocks that would easily jam a steel-ball guide. This double-acting actuator runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s and features 1/4" ports. Stroke termination uses fixed TPU rubber bumpers to soften end impacts, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. A standard built-in magnet allows position detection via CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four available sensor slots.

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 TCM63X35S Is Used
Heavy Pallet Stop Gate
Halting loaded pallets on a transfer line subjects the actuator to severe radial shock. The brass sliding bearing handles this impact effortlessly, providing 1559 N of stopping force at 0.5 MPa without requiring a separate shock absorber rail.
Foundry Sand Mould Press
In a dusty foundry, grit would quickly destroy a steel-ball guide. The TCM brass sleeve tolerates contaminated environments, using its 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa to compact sand moulds reliably while maintaining ±0.05° squareness.
Weld Cell Clamp Slide
Positioning a heavy welding clamp off-centre generates high torsional stress. The twin guide rods carry this moment load directly, keeping the clamp precisely oriented despite side-pull during the 35 mm clamping stroke.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X35S the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 63 mm bore makes sense when your application requires substantial thrust. If you need less force, stepping down to an Ø50 bore yields about 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to an Ø80 bore provides 2513 N. The 35 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, ensuring immediate availability.
Select the sibling TCL series instead if your duty cycle demands low-friction motion or extreme vertical precision, as the TCL utilizes a steel-ball linear bearing rather than this brass sliding design. Note that the TCM guide prevents twisting but does not resist gravity; if air pressure drops, the rod will drift. To hold a suspended load safely without live air, install an external pilot-operated check valve or a dedicated rod lock. This specific SKU includes the standard magnet (S) and default PT tapered 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 TCM63X35S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull force. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 2182 N. The theoretical maximum force is 318 kgf.
Each end of the stroke is softened by fixed TPU rubber bumpers. The TC series does not use an adjustable air cushion or cushion needle, simplifying setup and making it highly durable against hard end-impacts.
