Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL50X25S
The AirTAC Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL50X25S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 25mm 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 ±0.04° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL50X25S
The B02-TCL50X25S is an AirTAC JIS guided twin-rod double-acting cylinder featuring a steel-ball linear bearing. The B02- prefix designates this as a welding-industry dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard TCL50X25S, making it ideal for clamping and fixturing in automated welding cells. Driven by a 50mm bore, it generates 982N of push and 825N of pull at 0.5MPa. The integrated twin guide rods eliminate the need to align an external linear rail, saving engineering time.
A standout feature is the steel-ball linear bearing, which provides low-friction, high-precision travel without the stick-slip common to plain bearings, ensuring smooth vertical lifts. With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.04°, it keeps fixtures square under off-centre loads. The Ø20mm piston rod operates on 1/4" ports, while dual upper and side port groups allow pneumatic plumbing from the most accessible angle. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion.

| Port size | 1/4" |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 500 mm/s |
| Non-rotating tolerance | ±0.04° (retracted) |

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 (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max | 200 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø20 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-TCL50X25S Is Used
Spot Welding Gun Actuation
Leveraging the 982N push at 0.5MPa and the low-friction linear bearing, this cylinder smoothly positions heavy spot-welding tips without stick-slip, ensuring precise electrode alignment.
Welding Fixture Clamping
The ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance keeps clamping jaws perfectly square on off-centre workpieces, while the twin-rod guide absorbs the side torque generated during part fixturing.
Robot Welding Cell Indexing
With its integrated guide replacing external rails, this unit saves space in tight robotic cells, delivering 1374N of thrust at 0.7MPa to gate or position heavy pallets.
Is the Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL50X25S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 50mm bore model, consider stepping down to a Ø32 cylinder for lighter duties, which provides about 402N of push at 0.5MPa, or moving up to a Ø63 bore that yields 1559N if your fixture demands more clamping force. Choose the TCM sibling series instead if your application involves heavy impact loads or dusty environments, as its brass sliding bearing handles radial abuse better than the precision steel-ball bearing. For replacement, match the 50mm bore, 25mm stroke, 1/4" port, PT thread, and standard S magnet. Note that air pressure loss will cause the rod to drift downward, as the guide resists rotation but not gravity; install an external rod lock for fail-safe holding.
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-TCL50X25S FAQ
This 50mm bore cylinder delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5MPa, 1374N push at 0.7MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 200kgf. It operates at speeds of 30-500mm/s.
The B02- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the TCL50X25S, sharing identical mechanical specs. Instead of an adjustable air cushion, each end lands on a fixed TPU rubber bumper to soften the stop.
