Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL32X30S
The AirTAC Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL32X30S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 30mm stroke on twin guide rods. Its integrated steel-ball linear bearing gives low-friction, high-precision travel — well suited to vertical lifts and high-load, high-accuracy moves, holding the tool square to ±0.05° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL32X30S
The B02-TCL32X30S is AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the TCL32X30S, engineered for clamping and fixturing inside automated welding cells. The leading B02- prefix designates this specific application scenario; mechanically, it is identical to the base JIS guided twin-rod cylinder, delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. A drive piston operates between two guide rods in a single integrated body, completely eliminating the need for an external linear slide. The steel-ball linear bearing ensures low-friction, high-precision travel with zero stick-slip, making it perfect for smooth vertical lifts or accurate tool-carriage shifts.
Precision is locked down by a ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, keeping your welding clamp or fixture plate perfectly square under off-centre loads. The Ø16 mm piston rod is driven through 1/8" ports, while two independent upper and side port groups let you plumb the cylinder from whichever face is clear without extra elbows. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, absorbing the impact at both ends without requiring tuning. A standard built-in magnet enables position feedback via CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four body slots.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC TCL/TCM series datasheet (JIS standard). Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (blank) / G / NPT. Every TC model ships with a built-in magnet for sensor switches.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max | 82 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø16 mm); the twin guide rods carry side load and torque, not thrust. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure.

Where the Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL32X30S Is Used
Spot Welding Gun Actuation
Leverages the 402 N thrust at 0.5 MPa and the steel-ball linear bearing's smooth, low-friction travel to bring a spot-welding tip into contact with the panel without stick-slip, ensuring consistent electrode pressure.
Robotic Welding Fixture Clamping
Holds a steel frame square for a robot torch using the ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, keeping the clamp plate from twisting under off-centre loads during the weld cycle.
Tool-Carriage Vertical Shift
Raises and lowers a welding tool carriage on the 30 mm stroke with high precision, relying on the integrated twin guide rods to replace a separate rail and save valuable cell space.
Is the Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL32X30S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32 mm bore yields 402 N push and 302 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need slightly less force, stepping down to the Ø20 bore gives roughly 157 N of push, while moving up to the Ø40 bore provides about 628 N for heavier weldment clamping. Consider the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing if your station endures heavy impact loads or operates in a dusty environment, as it handles radial abuse better than the precision linear ball bearing. To source an exact replacement, specify the 32 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 1/8" port, PT thread form, and the standard S magnet.
Remember that the twin guide rods resist rotation and torque, not gravity. If air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the rod will drift downward and drop the workpiece; install an external pilot-operated check valve or rod lock for a fail-safe hold. Because the 30 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore, it ships as a standard catalogue item.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Side load / torque the guide must carry
- ✓ TCL (precision, low friction) vs TCM (impact, radial load)
- ✓ Stroke & mounting face (top / bottom / rear)
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check The guide unit takes side load & torque — but do not exceed the max safe load/torque for your stroke.
- check Mount from the top, bottom (screw or T-slot) or rear face; use the precision locating holes.
- check Do not disassemble the fixing block or guide unit — factory-set precision.
- check Fit CS1 / DS1 magnetic switches in the four sensor slots as needed.
Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL32X30S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it generates 402 N of push and 302 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
The B02- prefix marks this as AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated line; mechanically it is identical to the TCL32X30S with no special seals or dimensions. Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper to soften the stop, but there is no air-cushion screw to set or adjust.
