Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X25SH
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X25SH is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 25mm 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 TCM80X25SH
The AirTAC TCM80X25SH is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder engineered for heavy-duty radial loads. A central drive piston operates between two robust guide rods integrated into a single body, completely eliminating the need for an external linear slide. This double-acting unit delivers 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, while its brass sliding bearing shrugs off weld spatter, coolant, and hard knocks that would destroy a steel-ball guide. With a short 25 mm stroke, it excels at high-impact stopping and clamping tasks.
Precision is tightly controlled by a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping heavy plates or grippers perfectly square under off-centre loads. The Ø25 mm piston rod and Ø30 mm guide rods move at 50-400 mm/s, fed by 3/8" ports. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, absorbing shock without requiring manual tuning. Viton (FKM) seals expand the operating temperature range, and a standard built-in magnet enables position feedback.

|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 50 – 400 mm/s |

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 TCM80X25SH Is Used
Heavy Pallet Stopper
Halts loaded pallets on a transfer line using 2513 N of thrust, where the brass sliding bearing tolerates continuous vibration and wood debris without jamming.
Foundry Mould Clamp
Secures heavy sand moulds against offset forces, relying on the ±0.05° non-rotating accuracy and impact-resistant brass bushings to survive hot, gritty environments.
Weld Cell Positioning
Indexes heavy fabrication frames with a short 25 mm stroke, absorbing end-of-stroke impacts via fixed TPU bumpers while shrugging off weld spatter.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X25SH the Right Cylinder?
Choosing this 80 mm bore model provides 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your application requires less force, stepping down to the 63 mm bore yields 1559 N of push. For even heavier duty, the 100 mm bore offers 3927 N. The brass sliding bearing is ideal for dusty, impacting environments, whereas the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing is better suited for low-friction, high-precision vertical lifting.
When replacing this unit, match the 80 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 3/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet. Note that the guide prevents rotation but will not hold a load vertically if air pressure is lost; the rod will drift. Install an external pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe drop protection.
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 TCM80X25SH FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 80 mm bore cylinder generates 2513 N of push force and 2268 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 3519 N. The theoretical maximum force is 513 kgf.
Yes, the standard built-in magnet works with AirTAC CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in any of the four sensor slots. End-of-stroke damping is handled by fixed rubber TPU bumpers at both ends; there is no adjustable air cushion screw.
