The AirTAC TR16X30S AirTAC 16 mm Twin-Rod Cylinder, 30 mm Stroke 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 TR16X30S is a double-acting twin-rod cylinder: two parallel rods carry one shared plate, so the load mounts on the plate without rotating and the plate resists bending and twisting under offset loads. With a 16 mm bore and a 30 mm stroke, it gives a theoretical push thrust of about 100.5 N at 0.5 MPa (the pull side is lower), a good fit for short-reach push, clamp and stopper jobs. A bumper at the front of the body both 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: 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.
Choose the 16 mm bore when the job needs around 100.5 N of theoretical push thrust at 0.5 MPa; the 6/10 mm bores give less and the 20/25/32 mm bores give more. TR is the JIS-standard twin-rod series with the precise guide-grade design; TN is the enterprise-standard series instead and is PT thread only, while TR is offered with PT, G or NPT. Strokes are chosen within the 16 mm bore's table, and this 30 mm model sits at the short end - avoid over-long strokes for the bore and confirm fit from the datasheet. The series runs on air filtered to 40 um at 30-500 mm/s, from -20 to 70 C, with a 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof pressure. For side-load limits, ask us and we will check the published curves with you.
Clamps jigs or parts on an assembly fixture; the twin rods hold the clamp plate square so it presses the part without rotating under load.
Raises and lowers a stopper blade on a packaging conveyor to gate cartons between stations, with the blade held level by the shared plate.
Pushes cartons off a transfer conveyor onto a divert lane over a 30 mm throw, keeping the push plate flat through the stroke.
TR is the AirTAC JIS-standard twin-rod series with the precise guide-grade design, 16 is the 16 mm bore, 30 is the 30 mm stroke, and S shows the magnet is fitted - the magnet is standard on the whole series, not an optional add. No trailing thread letter means PT ports. Operating pressure for the 16 mm bore is 0.15-1.0 MPa (22-145 psi).
The TR16X30S uses a bumper, not an air cushion. The bumper is an external front pad that both cushions impact at end of stroke and adjusts the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm, so you can trim the working stroke without changing the mechanical stroke.
