Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X80S
The AirTAC Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X80S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 80mm 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 TCM80X80S
The AirTAC TCM80X80S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a robust brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two Ø30 mm guide rods, delivering 2513 N of push and 2268 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. Because the guide unit prevents rotation and carries radial load, you can skip mounting an external linear rail. The brass sleeve shrugs off weld spatter, coolant, and hard knocks, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder.
This 80 mm bore, 80 mm stroke double-acting actuator keeps a gripper or plate square under offset loads with a tight ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance. Stroke terminations rely on fixed TPU rubber bumpers at each end, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. The standard built-in magnet (S) pairs with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in any of the four sensor slots, while 3/8" PT ports handle the high airflow needed for the 50-400 mm/s speed range.

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 TCM80X80S Is Used
Foundry Mould Pusher
With 2513 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa, this cylinder shoves heavy sand moulds on a transfer line. The brass sliding bearing tolerates extreme heat and grit where a steel-ball guide would jam.
Sawmill Heavy Gate
Positioning a massive log-kicker gate demands high side-load capacity. The twin Ø30 mm guide rods absorb the torsional moment, while the brass sleeve survives dusty, high-impact duty cycles.
Pallet Stopper Arm
Halting a moving pallet conveyor generates severe radial shock. This 80 mm actuator provides 3519 N of stopping force at 0.7 MPa, and its impact-tolerant brass bearing shrugs off the hard knocks.
Is the Airtac TCM Triple Axis Cylinder TCM80X80S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, check the neighbouring bores to match your force needs: stepping down to a Ø63 bore yields roughly 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while stepping up to a Ø100 bore provides 3927 N. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing only if your application demands low-friction precision or high vertical load handling rather than dirty impact resistance. Remember that air pressure loss lets the rod drift downward, as the brass guide resists rotation, not gravity; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding. This PT-thread configuration includes the 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 TCM80X80S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this double-acting cylinder generates 2513 N of push and 2268 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 3519 N. The maximum theoretical force output is 513 kgf.
No, stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. The TCM uses moulded TPU rubber bumpers at each end to soften the impact, meaning there is no cushion screw to tune.
