Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X60S
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X60S 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 TN16X60S
Twin-rod cylinders mount two parallel rods on a shared plate to stop the load from rotating, giving resistance to bending and twisting. This TN16X60S pairs a 16mm bore with a 60mm stroke for a theoretical push thrust of 201.1 N at 0.5 MPa. A bumper pad on the front cushions impact and trims the effective stroke across a -5 to 0 mm range.
This is a genuine AirTAC component built to the enterprise standard. The whole TN series carries a standard magnet with switch slots around the body, and thread is PT only. Contact us to confirm dimensions and sizing from the datasheet.

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
Pick the bore for your thrust requirement: the 16mm bore outputs 201.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, with pull thrust lower due to rod area. TN is the enterprise-standard twin-rod, PT thread only; TR is the JIS twin-rod with higher non-rotating accuracy, a lengthening sliding guide needing no added lubricant, and PT/G/NPT threads. Match the stroke from the bore's table, keeping clear of over-long strokes under the short cover. Ask us to confirm side-load limits for your application.
Applications
Lane Divert Pusher
Diverts product from one conveyor lane to another using a pusher plate, where the twin rods hold the plate parallel to the belt and resist the twisting load from angled product contact.
Press Holding Clamp
Clamps a sheet-metal blank flat on a press bed before stamping, with the twin rods keeping the clamp face level and resisting any sideways slide the press stroke induces.
Vertical Lift Stop
Lifts a stop blade between belt rollers to block workpiece travel at an inspection station, where the twin rods prevent the blade from deflecting sideways under off-center load.
FAQ
What is the difference between TN and TR twin-rod cylinders?
TN is the enterprise-standard twin-rod with PT thread only, bores 10-32mm. TR is the JIS-standard twin-rod with higher non-rotating precision, a lengthening sliding guide, two-side ports, and PT/G/NPT thread options, bores 6-32mm.
Is the magnet optional on the TN16X60S?
No. Every model in the TN series ships with a standard magnet fitted, and magnetic-switch slots are built around the body. There is no non-magnetic option to choose instead.
