The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM63X75-S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 75mm 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.
The AirTAC TCM63X75-S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder with a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in one integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. At 0.5 MPa, it generates 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull, scaling to 2182 N at 0.7 MPa. The twin-rod geometry yields a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.05°, keeping wide plates or heavy blades perfectly square under off-centre loads. An Ø20 mm piston rod and 1/4" PT ports handle the substantial airflow needed for rapid cycling.
Designed for harsh environments, the brass sliding bearing shrugs off grit, weld spatter, and coolant where a steel-ball guide would jam. It provides roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder, making it ideal for stopping heavy moving pallets. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at each end to soften the stop; there is no adjustable air cushion screw to tune. The standard built-in magnet allows CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches to track position in any of the four sensor grooves.

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.
| 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.

|---|---|
| M | Bearing: Brass sliding bearing (M = brass sliding). |

Sister type: TCL63X75 (steel-ball linear bearing, lower friction & higher precision). Thread codes: blank = PT · G · T = NPT.
Halting loaded pallets on a transfer line is easy for the 1559 N thrust, while the brass sliding bearing absorbs the repeated heavy side-impacts without jamming.
Pushing sand moulds exposes the cylinder to abrasive dust; the brass sleeve tolerates this grit far better than a ball bearing, maintaining ±0.05° squareness.
Lifting an asymmetric part creates torque; the twin guide rods carry this moment load directly, preventing the Ø20 mm piston rod from binding.
When sizing this model, consider the neighbouring bores: stepping down to an Ø50 yields about 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while moving up to an Ø80 provides 2513 N. Choose the Ø63 when your application demands high torque and radial load capacity in a dirty environment. If your task requires extreme vertical precision or low-friction movement without contamination, select the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead. To replicate this unit, specify a 63 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 1/4" PT ports, and the standard S magnet. Note that if air pressure drops, this cylinder will not hold its load; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, it provides 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push increases to 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf.
No, there is no adjustable air cushion. Each end of stroke relies on a fixed rubber TPU bumper to absorb impact. The operating speed range is 30-500 mm/s.
