Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN10X100S
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN10X100S is a genuine TN twin-rod (double-rod) double-acting cylinder, 10 mm bore. Two parallel rods on one plate resist bending and twisting and let the load mount without rotating. It delivers about 78.6 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A front bumper cushions the impact and adjusts the stroke over a -5 to 0 mm range.

About the Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN10X100S
The TN10X100S is a double-acting twin-rod cylinder: two parallel rods move one shared plate, so the plate resists rotation, bending and twisting and the load can be mounted straight onto it. The 10 mm bore provides about 39.3 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, and the 100 mm stroke suits longer compact-footprint moves. The external bumper both cushions end-of-stroke impact and adjusts the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm; it is not an air cushion.
This is a genuine AirTAC part in the TN series, built to the ENTERPRISE standard with PT thread only. A position magnet is fitted as standard on every model, with magnetic-switch slots around the aluminium-alloy body. It operates on air filtered to 40 um at 0.2-1.0 MPa (29-145 psi), from -20 to 70 C, at 30-500 mm/s. Dimensions depend on stroke, so we confirm exact sizing from the datasheet on request.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TN/TR twin-rod data. Operating pressure is set by bore (0.2 MPa minimum on the 6 and 10 mm bores). The front cover and piston are short, so avoid an over-long stroke. Overall dimensions vary per stroke and allowable side-load is published as curves — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
This 10 mm bore delivers about 39.3 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa; choose a larger TN bore if your load needs more force. The 100 mm stroke is inside the bore-10 table, but avoid stretching strokes beyond what the application needs: over-long twin-rod strokes risk short-covering and soften the guide. TN is the ENTERPRISE standard and is supplied with PT ports only; the JIS-standard TR series is the alternative if you need G or NPT threads or its precise guide with low rod-end deflection, a lengthening sliding-support guide requiring no added lubricant and two groups of ports, one each side. The S code confirms the magnet is standard, never an option. Route side-load checks to us and the published curves.
Applications
Indexing pusher on a rotary dial table
The plate advances parts into dial-table pockets across the 100 mm travel. Twin rods keep the push face from rotating as it loads slightly off-centre, and the bumper's stroke adjustment lets technicians fine-tune the seating position.
Carton reject kick-off at a checkweigher
When a small carton fails the check, the cylinder kicks it off the belt into a reject bin. The non-rotating plate strikes the carton squarely, the bumper softens the kick, and switch slots confirm the extended and retracted states.
Light press-fit staking of small housings
The twin-rod plate presses a bushing into a plastic housing over a short working travel. Two rods share the load so the plate stays level under the press force, and the 39.3 N push thrust at 0.5 MPa suits light staking duty.
FAQ
How much thrust does the 10 mm bore of TN10X100S give, and what pressure does it need?
The 10 mm bore gives about 39.3 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the push side higher than the pull side. Operating pressure for this bore is 0.2-1.0 MPa (29-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um. If your load needs more force, move up to a 16, 20, 25 or 32 mm TN bore rather than raising pressure above the rated range.
What does the anti-rotation plate let me do in a machine build?
Because two parallel rods drive one shared plate, the plate cannot rotate, so you can bolt guides, stops or tooling directly to it without adding an external guide. That makes the TN10X100S useful for pushers, clamps and stopper gates. Remember the allowable side load and rod-end deflection are published only as curves, and installed dimensions depend on the 100 mm stroke, so confirm both from the datasheet with us before finalising the layout.
