Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X70S
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN16X70S 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 TN16X70S
A twin-rod cylinder uses two parallel rods fixed to one shared plate, so the mounted load cannot rotate and the plate resists bending and twisting. This TN16X70S pairs a 16 mm bore with a 70 mm stroke and gives a theoretical push thrust of 201.1 N at 0.5 MPa on the push side, suited to light clamping, pushing and stopping duties. The external front bumper both cushions impact and adjusts the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm.
This is a genuine AirTAC part made to the TN enterprise standard, with PT ports (M5x0.8 on this bore). The magnet is standard equipment on every cylinder in the series - there is no non-magnetic option - with magnetic-switch slots around the body for position detection. It operates on air filtered to 40 um at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), 30-500 mm/s and -20 to 70 C, with 1.5 MPa proof pressure. Dimensions depend on stroke; we confirm them 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 provides a theoretical push thrust of 201.1 N at 0.5 MPa; choose a larger bore (20, 25 or 32) if the application needs more force. Stroke is selected from the bore's table, with 70 mm a listed value. TN is the enterprise-standard series and carries PT thread only; TR is the JIS-standard alternative with PT, G or NPT options and a higher-precision, low-deflection guide. The bumper adjusts effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm, and avoid specifying over-long strokes that would rely on the cover as a stop under side loads. For allowable side load and the exact dimension drawing at this stroke, confirm from the datasheet or ask us.
Applications
Indexing stopper
Extends to stop product at an indexing station; the stopper blade stays square under repeated stops because the twin rods resist the twisting a single rod would allow.
Light lift and lower
Lifts gates, chutes or small fixtures through 70 mm of travel; the dual rods keep the top plate level so no separate guide is needed for the load.
Adjustable end-stop
Sets a repeatable part position on a fixture or pallet line; the bumper fine-tunes the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm while cushioning each arrival.
FAQ
Is the magnet on the TN16X70S an optional extra?
No. Every TN-series cylinder, including this one, is supplied with a magnet fitted as standard - the S in the model code reflects this. Magnetic-switch slots are provided around the body; for specific compatible switch part numbers, check the catalogue, which is not listed here.
What keeps the load from rotating on a twin-rod cylinder?
The two parallel rods are fixed to one shared plate, so rotation is constrained by the rod pair itself and the plate resists bending and twisting. That lets you mount the load directly without external anti-rotation guides; for the exact allowable side-load curves at this stroke, confirm from the datasheet.
