The AirTAC AirTAC TR6X40S Twin-Rod Cylinder, 6mm Bore, 40mm Stroke is a genuine TR twin-rod (double-rod) double-acting cylinder, 6 mm bore. Two parallel rods on one plate resist bending and twisting and let the load mount without rotating. It delivers about 28.3 N of push at 0.5 MPa. A front bumper cushions the impact and adjusts the stroke over a -5 to 0 mm range. As the JIS guide-grade series it adds high non-rotating precision, a lengthening sliding guide (no added lubricant) and two-side ports.
A twin-rod cylinder uses two parallel rods on one shared plate to resist bending and twisting, keeping the load from rotating as it moves. This TR6X40S has a 6mm bore and 40mm stroke - a compact unit for light, precise jobs. At 0.5 MPa its push thrust is about 14.1 N. An external bumper cushions end-of-stroke impact and lets you trim the effective stroke over a 0 to 5mm range.
This is a genuine AirTAC part built to JIS standard. Every model in the TR series ships with a standard sintered NdFeB magnet for position sensing, and magnetic-switch slots run around the body. We confirm exact dimensions, rod diameter, 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.
Bore drives thrust: the 6mm bore gives about 14.1 N push at 0.5 MPa, suited to small, light loads. The TR series meets JIS standard and adds a precise guide with higher non-rotating accuracy, a lengthening sliding support that needs no added lubricant, and two port groups on both sides for flexible plumbing. Within the 6mm bore table, 40mm is a mid-range stroke; with the short cover, keep strokes moderate to limit rod-end deflection. Thread is PT on this model; TR also offers G and NPT. For allowable side-load at your stroke, confirm with us from the datasheet.
Pushes lightweight molded parts off a fixture plate after machining - twin rods keep the pusher face flat and prevent the pad from skewing as it contacts the part.
Extends a small paddle across a narrow conveyor to divert thin items; the anti-rotation guide holds the paddle square to the belt so product feeds cleanly into the side lane.
Acts as a height stopper for small trays entering a test cell; the bumper pad trims the stop position by up to 5mm so the tray seats flush against the next fixture.
TN is AirTAC's enterprise-standard twin-rod line with PT thread only. TR meets JIS standard and adds a precise guide with higher non-rotating accuracy, a lengthening sliding support that needs no added lubricant, and two port groups on both sides. TR also offers G and NPT thread options in addition to PT.
The TR series uses an external bumper pad, not an air cushion. It both absorbs impact at end of stroke and lets you adjust the effective stroke by 0 to 5mm. For allowable side-load at your 40mm stroke, we confirm the value from the datasheet.
