The Airtac TCL40X200S is a double-acting tri-rod guided cylinder from the AirTAC TCL/TCM series with a 40 mm bore and 200 mm stroke. The piston rod and two guide rods are tied to one front plate, and the guides run in linear ball bearings (L), so the plate resists turning and side load without an external guide.
Reading the code: TC = tri-rod cylinder (double acting), L = linear bearing, 40×200 = bore x stroke in mm, S = with magnet (every TC cylinder has one, for position sensing); no thread suffix means the standard port thread.

Typical applications
- Small lift tables and indexing fixtures
- Gate, diverter and reject mechanisms on packaging lines
- Pick-and-place and transfer units that need a non-rotating plate
- Press-fit, clamping and lifting stations on assembly machines
- Like-for-like replacement of an Airtac TCL40X200S
Compatibility and replacement
The TCL and TCM versions of the same bore and stroke share the ordering code layout; TCL guides run in linear ball bearings, TCM guides in brass slide bearings, and AirTAC lists tighter non-rotating accuracy and different safe-torque values for each. Port threads other than the standard are ordered with a suffix (for example T for NPT). When replacing an existing unit, match bore, stroke, bearing letter and the thread suffix printed on the old cylinder label.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose TCL40X200S or the TCM version?
TCL (linear bearing) is what you have here. Per AirTAC, the non-rotating accuracy of this bore is ±0.06° for TCL and ±0.08° for TCM. Check the safe-torque table for your stroke as well; when replacing a cylinder, keep the bearing letter on the old label so the machine behaves the same.
Which fittings do I need?
The ports are 1/8″; other port threads (such as NPT) carry a suffix in the order code. Use push-in or speed-control fittings of the same thread and tube size suited to the flow.
Is TCL40X200S a standard stroke?
200 mm is a standard stroke for the 40 mm bore in the AirTAC catalog, where the standard range goes up to 250 mm.
