Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X50SH
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X50SH 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 TN16X50SH
A twin-rod double-acting cylinder has two parallel rods on a shared plate that resist bending and twisting, so the load moves without rotating. The TN16X50SH features a 16 mm bore and 50 mm stroke; at 0.5 MPa its theoretical push thrust is about 201 N. The external bumper cushions impact and trims stroke across a -5 to 0 mm range.
This is a genuine AirTAC TN-series part built to the enterprise standard with a PT thread. The whole series is magnet-fitted, with magnetic-switch slots 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
Select bore 16 when your application needs about 201 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa; push is higher than pull. The TN series follows the enterprise standard with PT thread only, while the JIS-standard TR adds G and NPT threads plus a lengthening sliding guide for higher non-rotating precision. Stroke 50 mm is within the bore 16 range; avoid very long strokes on the short cover to prevent rod overhang. Route side-load questions to us for confirmation from the datasheet.
Applications
Part Pusher Station
Pushes machined parts along a guide rail into a machining cell. The twin rods keep the pusher face parallel so parts seat squarely every cycle without rotation.
Lane Transfer Gate
Diverts cartons between conveyor lanes. The anti-rotation twin-rod design holds the divert finger flat against the belt without twisting under side load.
Pneumatic Clamp Fixture
Clamps sheet-metal workpieces in a welding jig. Two rods spread clamping force evenly and prevent the clamp arm from rotating under load during the weld cycle.
FAQ
What thrust does the 16 mm bore provide, and why choose TN over TR?
Bore 16 delivers about 201 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa (push is higher than pull). The TN series meets the enterprise standard with PT thread only; the TR series meets JIS with PT, G, or NPT thread and adds a lengthening sliding guide for higher non-rotating precision and lower rod-end deflection.
How does the bumper work, and where do I find side-load limits?
The external front bumper cushions impact and adjusts stroke over a -5 to 0 mm range. It is a bumper, not an air cushion. For allowable side-load and rod-end deflection, the data is published as curves; contact us and we will confirm the values for your application from the datasheet.
