Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X150-S
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X150-S is a genuine TN twin-rod (double-rod) double-acting cylinder, 16 mm bore. Two parallel rods on one plate resist bending and twisting and let the load mount without rotating. It delivers about 201.1 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 TN16X150-S
A twin-rod cylinder runs two parallel rods on a shared plate to resist bending and twisting so the load moves without rotating. The TN16X150S pairs a 16 mm bore with a 150 mm stroke, delivering about 201 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa on the push side. An external bumper cushions end-of-stroke impact and trims the effective stroke by up to 5 mm.
This is a genuine AirTAC part built to the enterprise standard with PT-thread ports only. Every TN model ships with a standard magnet for position sensing; magnetic-switch slots run around the body. We confirm exact dimensions and 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
Choose the bore for the thrust you need: the 16 mm bore produces roughly 201 N push at 0.5 MPa, with the pull figure lower since rod area subtracts from piston area. TN is the enterprise-standard twin-rod line with PT ports; the TR line adds JIS mounting, higher non-rotating precision, and G or NPT thread options. The 150 mm stroke sits within the bore's range, but a long stroke on the short-cover body raises side-load risk - we confirm allowable side-load curves from the datasheet before you commit.
Applications
Reject Pusher on a Belt Line
Mounts at the side of a conveyor to push non-conforming parts onto a reject chute. The twin rods keep the pusher face parallel so the part slides cleanly without catching or rotating off-axis.
Workpiece Clamp in a Machining Cell
Clamps a workpiece against a fixed stop during drilling or milling. Anti-rotation holds the clamp pad flat on the surface through the full 150 mm stroke, preventing the part from shifting under tool load.
Lateral Transfer Between Stations
Shuttles a component horizontally between two work positions on a rotary index table. The twin-guide design holds the tooling plate level without drift across the long travel distance.
FAQ
How much thrust does the 16 mm bore TN cylinder produce?
At 0.5 MPa the 16 mm bore delivers about 201 N of push thrust; the pull figure is lower because the rod area subtracts from the piston area. Operating pressure for this bore is 0.15 to 1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
Can the bumper adjust the stroke length?
Yes. The external front bumper cushions end-of-stroke impact and lets you trim the effective stroke by up to 5 mm. It is a fixed bumper, not an air cushion. Allowable side-load and overall dimensions vary with stroke; we confirm those from the datasheet on request.
