The AirTAC TR20X30S AirTAC Twin-Rod Cylinder, 20mm Bore, 30mm Stroke is a genuine TR 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. As the JIS guide-grade series it adds high non-rotating precision, a lengthening sliding guide (no added lubricant) and two-side ports.
The TR20X30S is a double-acting twin-rod cylinder: two parallel rods on one shared plate carry the load, so the plate moves without rotating and resists bending and twisting. The 20 mm bore gives a theoretical push thrust of 314.2 N at 0.5 MPa (pull side slightly lower), and the 30 mm stroke fits compact clamp, stopper and transfer positions that need a little more travel than the shortest options. An external front bumper cushions end-of-stroke impact and adjusts the effective stroke over -5 to 0 mm.
This is a genuine AirTAC part built to the JIS-standard TR series, the precise guide grade with high non-rotating accuracy, low rod-end deflection and a lengthening sliding-support guide that needs no added lubricant. The position-sensing magnet is fitted as standard, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. 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 bore by thrust: this 20 mm bore provides up to 314.2 N of theoretical push force at 0.5 MPa, more than the 10 and 16 mm bores in the same twin-rod family. Between the two AirTAC twin-rod ranges, TN is the enterprise-standard line (PT thread only), while this TR is the JIS-standard, precise guide grade - the choice when non-rotating accuracy and low rod-end deflection matter. The 30 mm stroke sits comfortably within the bore-20 table without needing short covers. Route side-load and deflection limits to us, as they are published as curves rather than figures. Thread options on TR are PT, G or NPT; this model is PT.
The plate rises 30 mm into the path of parts on a rotary indexer to hold each station; twin rods keep the stop face from twisting under repeated hits.
The non-rotating plate slides a small container sideways between two conveyor lanes in a 30 mm move, staying square to the product.
The 314.2 N push at 0.5 MPa seats a snap-fit cap or connector; the bumper cushions the end of each press stroke.
No - every model in the TR series, including this one, comes with the position-sensing magnet fitted as standard, with magnetic-switch slots around the body. There is no non-magnetic version to choose between, so you can specify it directly.
The two parallel rods on one shared plate: they hold the mounting plate square through the stroke, resist bending and twisting, and let you mount the load directly without extra anti-rotation guides. For side-load or rod-end deflection limits, confirm the published curves with us from the datasheet.
