Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X200S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X200S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 200mm 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 TCM80X200S
The AirTAC TCM80X200S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston moves between two integrated guide rods, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. This double-acting actuator generates 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and utilizes a Ø25 mm piston rod alongside Ø30 mm guide rods. With a non-rotating accuracy of ±0.05°, it keeps heavy plates or blades perfectly square under offset loads.
Engineered for harsh environments, the brass sliding bearing shrugs off weld spatter, coolant, and hard knocks, offering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. The unit operates at 50-400 mm/s and feeds via 3/8" ports. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers that absorb end-of-travel shocks without any air-cushion adjustment screws. A standard built-in magnet enables position sensing, and the PT thread ports offer straightforward pneumatic plumbing.

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 (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2513 N | 2268 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3519 N | — |
| Max | 513 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø25 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 TCM80X200S Is Used
Foundry Sand Mould Press
With 2513 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder compacts heavy sand moulds. The brass sliding bearing tolerates extreme heat and abrasive grit where a steel-ball guide would quickly jam and fail.
Heavy Pallet Stop Gate
Halting a loaded pallet line demands high radial load capacity. The twin guide rods and impact-resistant brass bearing absorb the repeated hard knocks of 80 mm bore stopping force without bending.
Weld Cell Clamp Slide
Clamping thick steel frames in a robotic weld cell exposes actuators to spatter and slag. The brass bearing shrugs off contamination while the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance keeps the clamp jaws perfectly aligned.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X200S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 80 mm bore actuator means sizing for heavy radial duty, as it delivers 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need slightly less push, the Ø63 bore provides 1559 N at 0.5 MPa; stepping up is not an option here as this is the largest standard TCM bore. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your application demands low-friction precision or high vertical load capacity rather than impact tolerance. Remember that this guide resists rotation, not gravity—the rod will drift down if air pressure drops, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe load holding. Replacement requires matching the 80 mm bore, 200 mm stroke, 3/8" PT ports, 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 TCM80X200S FAQ
This 80 mm bore cylinder generates 2513 N of push and 2268 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, increasing to 3519 N of push at 0.7 MPa, with a maximum theoretical force of 513 kgf. It holds a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping tools square under offset loads up to the stroke-specific torque limit.
There is no adjustable air cushion; instead, fixed TPU rubber pads absorb the impact at each stroke end. For position feedback, the standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed switches or DS1 electronic sensors fitted into any of the four body slots.
