Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN20X15SH
The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN20X15SH is a genuine TN twin-rod (double-rod) double-acting cylinder, 20 mm bore. Two parallel rods on one plate resist bending and twisting and let the load mount without rotating. It delivers about 314.2 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 TN20X15SH
Two parallel rods on a single plate give a twin-rod cylinder its resistance to bending and twisting, keeping the load from rotating during travel. This AirTAC TN20X15SH combines a 20mm bore with a 15mm stroke for a theoretical push thrust of 314.2 N at 0.5 MPa. The front bumper cushions end-of-stroke impact and allows stroke adjustment from -5 to 0 mm.
This genuine AirTAC part meets the enterprise standard with PT thread. A magnet is standard on every TN model, with sensing slots around the body. We verify dimensions and application 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 sets the thrust: this 20mm bore gives 314.2 N push at 0.5 MPa, with lower pull-side force. TN follows the enterprise standard and PT thread only, while TR meets JIS with a precise guide for tighter rotation control and offers PT, G, or NPT threads. The 15mm stroke sits well within the bore's rated range. Confirm allowable side-load curves with us before ordering. TN thread is always PT.
Applications
Door-Latch Actuator
Drive a latch bolt in and out of a door frame with 15mm of travel. The twin rods keep the bolt from binding in its guide bushing, and the bumper lets you fine-tune the locked position by a few millimetres.
Indexing Pusher
Push a component sideways into a fixture nest for indexing, then retract. The 15mm short stroke keeps cycle time low, and the anti-rotation twin rods keep the pusher face parallel to the part every cycle.
Tension-Adjust Ram
Apply a controlled 15mm push to tension a belt or spring in an assembly jig. The twin-rod guide holds the ram straight under compressive load, and the bumper lets you trim the set position within a 5mm window.
FAQ
Does the TN20X15SH come with a magnet for position sensing?
Yes. Every model in the TN series is fitted with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet, and sensing slots run around the body for switch mounting. There is no non-magnetic option in this series; the magnet is always present.
What side-load can the TN20X15SH handle?
Twin-rod cylinders resist bending and twisting better than single-rod types, but allowable side-load depends on stroke and load position. Published data is in curve form, so we confirm allowable side-load and rod-end deflection from the datasheet for your specific mounting before you order.
