Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X60-S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X60-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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 TCM63X60-S
The AirTAC TCM63X60-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder with a brass sliding bearing. It integrates the drive piston and two guide rods into one body, 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. With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, it keeps grippers and plates square under off-centre loads.
The brass sliding bearing shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Ports are PT by default, and the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four body 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 TCM63X60-S Is Used
Pallet Transfer Line Stop
Halting heavy inbound pallets on a dusty conveyor is easy for the brass sliding bearing, which tolerates grit and impact while the 1559 N thrust at 0.5 MPa stops the load firmly.
Foundry Sand-Mould Press
Compressing sand moulds exposes the actuator to harsh debris; the TCM guide shrugs off contamination where a ball bearing would jam, while delivering 2182 N of push at 0.7 MPa.
Off-Centre Gripper Slide
Moving an offset gripper over 60 mm keeps the tool square thanks to the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, with the twin guide rods absorbing the torsional moment.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X60-S the Right Cylinder?
This Ø63 bore provides 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your pushing requirement is lighter, the Ø50 model offers 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa. For heavier radial duty, stepping up to the Ø80 model yields 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. Choose the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your application demands low friction and high vertical precision.
To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 1/4" port size, and PT thread form. Remember that a TCM does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred, as the rod drifts; the guide resists rotation, not gravity. For a fail-safe hold, install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
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 TCM63X60-S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf.
No, there is no air-cushion screw to set. A moulded rubber bumper absorbs the stop at both ends of the stroke. The cylinder relies on this fixed elastomer pad for end-of-travel damping.
