The AirTAC Airtac TN Double Axis Double Rod Cylinder TN32X55S is a genuine TN twin-rod (double-rod) double-acting cylinder, 32 mm bore. Two parallel rods on one plate resist bending and twisting and let the load mount without rotating. It delivers about 804.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A front bumper cushions the impact and adjusts the stroke over a -5 to 0 mm range.
The TN32X55S is a double-acting twin-rod cylinder: two parallel rods on one shared plate carry the load without rotating and give the assembly resistance to bending and twisting. The 32 mm bore is the top of the TN range, producing about 402.1 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa (the pull side is lower). At a 55 mm stroke it is well suited to clamping, pushing and short transfer motions, and the external front bumper cushions impact while trimming the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm.
This is a genuine AirTAC part to the enterprise-standard TN series, with the magnet fitted as standard and magnetic-switch slots provided around the body. It uses PT ports and runs at 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi) on air filtered to 40 um, over a temperature range of -20 to 70 C. Overall dimensions for the 55 mm stroke and any sizing questions are confirmed 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.
Size the bore to the force: the 32 mm bore gives about 402.1 N of push thrust at 0.5 MPa, ahead of the 25 mm and smaller TN bores, so pick the smallest bore that still carries your load with margin. TN is the enterprise-standard series with PT thread only; for G or NPT threads or the precise guide grade, choose the JIS-standard TR series, which shares this bore size. Stay within the TN32 stroke table - 55 mm is a listed length - and treat very long strokes with caution; confirm side-load capacity with us before ordering, as it is published only as datasheet curves.
At an assembly bench, the plate clamps a bracket against a locating stop while screws are driven. The twin rods hold the clamp face parallel to the part, so nothing shifts under load.
Fitted across a conveyor lane, the cylinder pushes trays sideways from one lane to another. The non-rotating plate keeps the push edge square so trays enter the new lane without jamming.
On a compact lifting fixture, the 32 mm bore raises a light platform between two repeatable heights, with the twin rods keeping the plate level through the full 55 mm stroke.
At 0.5 MPa the 32 mm bore of this TN32X55S delivers about 402.1 N of theoretical push thrust, with the pull side lower. That is the strongest bore in the TN series, so if the 25 mm bore does not give enough force at your working pressure, the 32 mm is the step up. Operating pressure for both sizes is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
No option is needed: the whole TN series comes with the position magnet fitted as standard, and this model includes it. Magnetic-switch slots run around the body, so you can mount switches for end-of-stroke or mid-stroke detection and slide them to the sensing positions you need. For specific switch part numbers, see the AirTAC catalogue or ask us.
