Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X30S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X30S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 30mm 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 TCM80X30S
The AirTAC TCM80X30S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder engineered for heavy-duty applications. A central drive piston operates between two integrated guide rods fitted with brass sliding bearings, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. Generating 2513 N of push force at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting unit is built to withstand substantial radial loads and hard knocks.
Featuring a robust 80 mm bore and a 25 mm piston rod, it operates at speeds between 50 and 400 mm/s. The brass bearing shrugs off weld spatter, coolant, and dust where a steel-ball guide would jam, making it ideal for punishing industrial environments. Stroke termination relies on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at both ends, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to tune. With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, it keeps heavy plates or blades perfectly square under offset loads.

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 TCM80X30S Is Used
Foundry Sand Mould Press
Pushing heavy sand mould patterns in a dusty foundry is effortless with 2513 N of thrust. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive grit and severe radial impacts that would destroy a ball-guide cylinder.
Weld Cell Clamp Slide
Resisting weld spatter and coolant spray, this 80 mm guided unit clamps heavy steel frames. Its ±0.05° non-rotating accuracy keeps the clamping face perfectly parallel under offset loads.
Heavy Pallet Stopper
Halting a moving pallet line requires high impact absorption. The twin guide rods and fixed TPU bumpers absorb the shock of 513 kgf theoretical maximum force, stopping loads dead without an external shock absorber.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X30S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting the TCM80X30S gives you 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa and 3519 N at 0.7 MPa. If you need slightly less force, the Ø63 bore provides 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to the Ø100 bore yields 3927 N at the same pressure. This 80 mm model uses 3/8" PT ports and includes the standard S magnet for position sensing. Choose the TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your task demands low-friction precision or high vertical load handling rather than raw impact resistance. Note that this cylinder will not hold a load unpowered if air pressure drops; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe positioning.
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 TCM80X30S FAQ
This 80 mm bore cylinder delivers 2513 N of push and 2268 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force reaches 3519 N, with a theoretical maximum force of 513 kgf. It operates within a pressure range of 0.15-1.0 MPa.
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 each end; there is no adjustable air cushion screw on this series.
