Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL63X60S
The AirTAC Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL63X60S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 60mm 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-TCL63X60S
The AirTAC B02-TCL63X60S is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder engineered for welding-line automation. The leading B02- prefix designates this as a welding-industry dedicated variant of the base TCL63X60S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but targeted at fixturing and clamping in robotic spot-welding cells. As a double-acting actuator, it utilizes a steel-ball linear bearing system that provides low-friction, high-precision travel with no stick-slip, making it exceptionally well-suited for smooth vertical lifts and high-cycle loads. It delivers a robust 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa.
Integrated twin guide rods replace the need for an external linear slide, saving space and eliminating alignment work. The guide unit restricts rotation to a tight ±0.04° tolerance, keeping clamps and fixtures perfectly square under off-centre loads. Plumb the 1/4 inch ports from either the upper face or side group depending on your cell layout, and rely on the Ø20 mm piston rod for structural rigidity. Stroke termination is absorbed by fixed TPU bumpers at both ends, as this series intentionally omits adjustable air cushions. The standard built-in magnet enables position feedback via CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches mounted in any of the four sensor 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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max | 318 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-TCL63X60S Is Used
Spot Welding Gun Actuation
Drives the moving electrode of a robotic spot welding gun. The 1559 N push force secures the panels, while the steel-ball linear bearing ensures friction-free, precise closing without stick-slip across high cycle counts.
Welding Fixture Clamping
Holds heavy steel assemblies square against locating pins during automated MIG welding. The ±0.04° non-rotating tolerance prevents the clamp from twisting under off-centre reaction forces.
Vertical Electrode Lowering
Lowers a copper tip assembly into position smoothly. The low-friction linear bearing supports the downward vertical load accurately, preventing gravity-induced jerky motion before the weld is struck.
Is the Airtac B02-TCL Welding Special Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCL63X60S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 63 mm bore actuator provides 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your welding fixture requires slightly less force, the adjacent Ø50 bore generates about 982 N of push. For heavier clamping demands, stepping up to the Ø80 bore yields 2513 N. If your application involves high impact loads or heavily dusty environments, consider the sibling TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead of this linear ball bearing. To source a replacement, match the 63 mm bore, 60 mm stroke, 1/4 inch PT thread, and the standard S magnet. Note that a guided cylinder will drift and drop if air pressure is lost, so fit an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve if the fixture must hold position safely during an air failure.
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-TCL63X60S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa this 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. At 0.7 MPa the push force increases to 2182 N. The theoretical maximum force is 318 kgf at 1.0 MPa. The operating speed ranges from 30 to 500 mm/s.
The B02- prefix simply marks this unit as a welding-industry dedicated variant of the TCL63X60S; it shares the exact same physical specs, seals, and dimensions as the base model. It does not have adjustable air cushions; instead, fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end absorb the end-of-stroke impact.
