The AirTAC Airtac TR Twin-Rod Cylinders TR16X70S is a genuine TR 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. As the JIS guide-grade series it adds high non-rotating precision, a lengthening sliding guide (no added lubricant) and two-side ports.
The TR16X70S is a double-acting twin-rod cylinder: two parallel rods carry one shared plate, so the load mounts without rotating and the plate resists bending and twisting. The 16 mm bore gives a theoretical push thrust of about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (the pull side is lower), and the 70 mm stroke adds reach for lift, eject and transfer movements in compact tooling. A front bumper cushions impact and adjusts the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm.
This is a genuine AirTAC part built to the JIS standard, in the TR guide-grade design with higher non-rotating accuracy, low rod-end deflection, and a lengthening sliding-support guide that needs no added lubrication. The magnet is standard on every TR cylinder, with magnetic-switch slots around the body, and this model is supplied with PT ports. We confirm 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.
Pick the 16 mm bore when the movement needs roughly 100.5 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa; the 6/10 mm bores deliver less and the 20/25/32 mm bores deliver more. TR is the JIS-standard twin-rod series with the precise guide; TN is the enterprise-standard series instead and comes in PT thread only, while TR adds G and NPT choices. Strokes for this bore come from the 16 mm table, and this 70 mm model is a mid-range option - keep within the bore's table, take care with over-long strokes, and confirm fit from the datasheet. For side-load capability, ask us and we will check the published curves with you.
Lifts and lowers small trays or nest fixtures between two levels of an assembly station, with the plate staying level over the 70 mm travel.
Pushes palletized parts across a 70 mm indexing step on a rotary or linear table without letting the carried part rotate.
Presses snap-fit lids or connectors home in a bench-top press fixture, the twin rods keeping the pressing plate flat and square.
At 0.5 MPa the theoretical push thrust of the TR16X70S is about 100.5 N; the pull side is lower because the rods take up piston area. The operating pressure range for the 16 mm bore is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi), with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure.
The two parallel rods share one plate, so the mounted load cannot rotate and the plate resists bending and twisting under offset forces. That makes the TR16X70S well suited to pushers, lifters, clamps and stoppers where the plate must stay square - no external guide is needed for the rotation itself.
