Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X150SH
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X150SH 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 TN16X150SH
A twin-rod cylinder uses two parallel rods on one shared plate to resist bending and twisting, letting the load mount and move without rotating. The TN16X150SH gives a 16 mm bore and 150 mm stroke, producing about 201 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa. The external bumper both cushions impact and adjusts the stroke over a range of -5 to 0 mm.
This is a genuine AirTAC part built to the enterprise standard with PT-thread ports. A magnet is standard on every TN model, with magnetic-switch slots moulded around the body. The H suffix denotes a configuration variant; we confirm its exact specification 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
The 16 mm bore produces roughly 201 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, with the pull side lower due to rod-area subtraction. TN is the enterprise-standard twin-rod line with PT ports only; the TR line offers JIS mounting, higher non-rotating precision, and G or NPT thread choices. The 150 mm stroke is within the bore's table, but verify the side-load curves before committing - a long stroke on the short-cover body increases deflection risk. We confirm side-load limits from the datasheet.
Applications
End-of-Line Stopper Gate
Deploys a stop blade at the end of an assembly track to halt pallets for unloading. The twin rods absorb the pallet's momentum without the stop face tilting, keeping alignment repeatable across cycles.
Pin Insertion Press
Drives a pin into a housing bore on a fixture plate. The parallel rods prevent the driver tip from rotating as it descends through the 150 mm stroke, protecting pin-head orientation.
Short-Stroke Lift Gate
Raises a small diverter plate between two gravity conveyor lanes. Anti-rotation keeps the plate horizontal as it lifts so parts transition smoothly without wedging at the junction.
FAQ
What does the H suffix mean on TN16X150SH?
The H suffix marks a configuration variant within the TN16 family. Thread remains PT, as TN is PT-only. We confirm the exact meaning of the suffix and all specifications from the datasheet on request so you order the correct part.
Why use a twin-rod cylinder instead of a single-rod one?
The two parallel rods on a shared plate resist bending and twisting, so the load moves without rotating. This makes twin-rod cylinders ideal for pushers, clamps, and transfers where the tooling face must stay parallel. The bumper cushions impact and trims stroke by up to 5 mm; it is not an air cushion.
