Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN10X80S
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN10X80S 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 TN10X80S
The TN10X80S is a double-acting twin-rod cylinder: two rods run in parallel from one shared plate, giving the load resistance to bending and twisting and a mounting face that will not rotate. The 10 mm bore with 80 mm stroke suits light push, stop and transfer jobs; at 0.5 MPa the push side develops a theoretical thrust of 78.5 N. The external front bumper both cushions impact and trims the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm.
This is a genuine AirTAC TN-series part to the ENTERPRISE standard, with PT ports only. The piston magnet is standard equipment on the whole series, so position sensing via the body's magnetic-switch slots needs no special order. Because overall dimensions depend on stroke, we confirm exact sizing from the datasheet whenever you need it.

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
Size the bore to the thrust: this 10 mm bore pushes with a theoretical 78.5 N at 0.5 MPa (the pull side is lower), and the TN range runs up to 32 mm bore for more force. TN is the ENTERPRISE-standard twin rod; if your application needs the JIS-standard guide-grade cylinder - higher non-rotating accuracy, low rod-end deflection and a lengthening sliding-support guide that needs no added lubricant - pick the TR series instead. TN is supplied with PT ports only; G and NPT threads are TR options. Choose the stroke from the bore's table, and avoid over-long strokes since they add overhang - confirm the datasheet if in doubt. Side-load limits are given as curves; send us your case and we will check it.
Applications
Light lifting of fixture plates
Used as a small lift under a rising fixture or gate, the twin rods take the plate up and down through the 80 mm stroke without letting it tilt or spin on the way.
Stopper gate on assembly lines
Acting as a stopper that pops up to halt parts on a flow rail, the non-rotating plate keeps the stop face aligned with the product stream stroke after stroke.
Eject or reject pushing
Mounted across a production line to eject off-spec parts, the twin rods keep the pusher plate perpendicular to travel so rejected pieces are knocked cleanly off the line.
FAQ
How much force does the 10 mm bore actually give me?
At 0.5 MPa the push side of this bore delivers a theoretical thrust of 78.5 N; the pull side is lower because of the rod area. Operating pressure for a 10 mm bore is 0.2-1.0 MPa, so quote thrust at your actual supply pressure before selecting.
What does the bumper at the front of the cylinder do?
It is an adjustable bumper, not an air cushion. It cushions the impact at end of stroke and also lets you trim the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm without changing the cylinder.
