Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X25S
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X25S 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 TN16X25S
A twin-rod cylinder uses two parallel rods on a shared plate to resist bending and twisting so the load moves without rotating. The AirTAC TN 16 mm bore gives a theoretical push thrust of about 201 N at 0.5 MPa; a 25 mm stroke suits short transfer and stopper moves. An external bumper cushions impact at stroke end and trims the effective stroke by up to 5 mm.
Genuine AirTAC part meeting AirTAC enterprise standard dimensions. A sintered NdFeB magnet is standard on every unit with switch slots around the body. We confirm 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
Bore 16 delivers about 201 N push thrust at 0.5 MPa; choose a larger bore if you need more force. TN follows AirTAC enterprise standard with PT threads only; for JIS-standard mounting, G or NPT threads, or higher non-rotating precision, see the TR series. Keep the stroke within the bore's table and avoid over-long strokes on the short cover to prevent excessive side-load. We can help confirm side-load limits from the datasheet.
Applications
Inline Stopper
Extend one rod pair across a conveyor to halt passing cartons at a pick point; the twin rods hold the stopper blade vertical without twisting under carton momentum.
Part Ejector
Push a finished part out of a fixture bore after machining; the 25 mm stroke and non-rotating plate keep the ejector pin centered on the part for a clean release.
Door Latch Actuator
Drive a latch pin into a striker plate on an enclosure door; the twin-rod design keeps the pin aligned axially and the bumper absorbs the latch-on impact.
FAQ
What is the difference between TN and TR twin-rod cylinders?
TN follows AirTAC enterprise standard with PT threads only. TR follows JIS standard with PT, G, or NPT threads and adds a lengthening sliding guide for higher non-rotating precision and lower rod-end deflection.
Is the magnet optional on the TN series?
No. Every TN twin-rod cylinder is fitted with a sintered NdFeB magnet as standard, with switch slots around the body. There is no non-magnetic variant to choose.
