The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X20S 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.
A twin-rod cylinder runs two parallel rods on one shared plate so the load resists bending and twisting without rotating. The TN16X20-S pairs a 16 mm bore with a compact 20 mm stroke for a theoretical push thrust of 201.1 N at 0.5 MPa, and an external bumper cushions impact while trimming the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm.
Genuine AirTAC part built to the TN enterprise standard, with a standard magnet fitted and magnetic-switch slots around the body. We confirm dimensions and full 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.
The 16 mm bore gives a theoretical push thrust of 201.1 N at 0.5 MPa; the pull side is lower because the two rods occupy piston area. TN is the enterprise-standard line with PT threads only - for JIS mounting and higher non-rotating precision with a lengthening sliding guide, choose the TR series instead. The short 20 mm stroke suits tight cells; keep any stroke within the bore's rated table and route side-load figures to us for confirmation.
Raises a stop block at a conveyor merge point; the short 20 mm stroke pops the block up between passes while twin rods resist side clip from passing product.
Presses a thin sheet flat against a locater for a stamping hit; twin rods keep the clamp pad from skewing under impact within the compact travel.
Pushes a part one station forward on a dial table; the 20 mm travel fits a tight cell while twin rods hold the finger square against off-center load.
Every TN and TR twin-rod cylinder ships with a magnet fitted and magnetic-switch slots around the body; there is no non-magnetic option to choose. The S in the code confirms the standard magnet.
Keep the stroke within the bore's rated table in the datasheet. Long strokes on the compact TN body raise side-load risk; route your side-load figures to us for confirmation before ordering.
