Airtac B02-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X40S
The AirTAC Airtac B02-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X40S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 40mm stroke on twin guide rods. Its integrated brass sliding bearing gives high radial-load and impact resistance — about double the horizontal impact tolerance of a plain cylinder, holding the tool square to ±0.06° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B02-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X40S
The B02-TCM32X40S is AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the TCM32X40S, mechanically identical to the base JIS guided twin-rod cylinder but designated for welding-line automation. A drive piston runs between two guide rods supported by a brass sliding bearing within a single integrated body. This construction eliminates the need for an external linear guide, handling radial loads and torsional moments directly. Delivering 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa, it carries an anti-rotation tolerance of ±0.06° to keep fixtures square under offset loads.
The brass sliding bearing is specifically advantageous in hostile environments, shrugging off grit and weld spatter where a steel-ball linear guide might jam. Stroke termination relies on fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set. Upper and side port groups (1/8" PT) provide flexible pneumatic plumbing, while the standard built-in magnet interfaces with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in any of the four sensor slots.

| Bearing | Brass sliding bearing |
| Port size | 1/8" |
| 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 | ±0.06° (retracted) |
| Cushion | Rubber bumper |
| Max std stroke | Up to 250 mm |
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-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X40S Is Used
Spot Weld Cell Clamp
Secures stampings in a robot spot-welding cell. The brass sliding bearing tolerates spatter and debris, while 402 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa firmly holds the panel.
Weld Fixture Locator
Positions a mild-steel bracket in a fixturing jig. The ±0.06° non-rotating accuracy keeps the pin square under off-centre loads during the clamping cycle.
Transfer Line Gate
Acts as a heavy pallet stop on a transfer line. Its integrated twin guide rods absorb the radial impact of arriving pallets without needing a separate rail.
Is the Airtac B02-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X40S the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 32 mm bore provides 402 N push and 302 N pull at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, the Ø25 model yields about 245 N of push, whereas stepping up to the Ø40 bore supplies roughly 628 N. Choose the sister TCL series instead if your task demands low-friction precision or high vertical loading via its steel-ball linear bearing. Remember that air pressure drives both extension and retraction; if air is lost, the rod drifts and does not hold position, so deploy an external rod lock for fail-safe clamping. Replacement requires matching the 32 mm bore, 40 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet.
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-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X40S FAQ
This 32 mm bore double-acting cylinder generates 402 N push and 302 N pull at 0.5 MPa, and 563 N push at 0.7 MPa. The maximum theoretical force is 82 kgf.
The B02- prefix marks this as AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the TCM32X40S; the physical specs, seals, and dimensions are completely identical to the base model. End damping is provided by fixed rubber TPU bumpers, as there is no adjustable air cushion on this TC series.
