Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X50SH
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X50SH is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 50mm 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 TCM63X50SH
The AirTAC TCM63X50SH is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder with a robust brass sliding bearing. It integrates the drive piston and two guide rods into one body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide while carrying heavy radial loads and torque. It generates 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and features a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping wide grippers or plates perfectly square under off-centre loads. The Ø20 mm piston rod threads into 1/4" ports, and the unit operates at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
Built for harsh environments, the brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder where a steel-ball guide might jam from contamination. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at each end, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots, and the FKM Viton seals provide a wider high-temperature operating range.

| Stroke | 50 mm |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Bearing | Brass sliding bearing |
| Port size | 1/4" |
| 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) |
| Cushion | Rubber bumper |

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 TCM63X50SH Is Used
Heavy Pallet Stop
Halting loaded pallets on a transfer line, where the brass sliding bearing absorbs the repeated radial impacts and the 1559 N thrust easily resists the moving mass.
Foundry Sand Pusher
Pressing sand moulds in a dirty foundry environment, tolerating grit and heat where a ball guide would jam, while the FKM seals withstand elevated ambient temperatures.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moving a heavy multi-jaw gripper that applies uneven torque, relying on the ±0.05° non-rotating accuracy to keep the tool plate square without an external guide rail.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X50SH the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this drive, compare its output with neighbouring bores: the Ø50 model yields 982 N of push, while the Ø80 model provides 2513 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose this Ø63 if your duty cycle involves heavy impacting or dusty environments that would destroy a ball bearing. For low-friction, high-precision vertical movement instead, select the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing. Note that air pressure loss will cause the rod to drift, as the guide prevents rotation but not gravity, so add an external rod lock for fail-safe holding. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/4" PT thread, and standard S magnet.
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 TCM63X50SH FAQ
It delivers 1559 N push and 1402 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 2182 N push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 318 kgf. Each end of stroke lands on a fixed TPU rubber bumper; there is no adjustable air cushion screw on this series.
The TCM uses a brass sliding bearing that resists dust, coolant, and hard impacts with roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. The TCL uses a steel-ball linear bearing better suited for low-friction, high-precision vertical loads.
