Airtac B02-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B02-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X50S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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-TCM32X50S
The AirTAC B02-TCM32X50S 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 TCM32X50S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model but targeted at fixturing and clamping in robot cells. A drive piston operates between two guide rods in a single integrated body, completely removing the need for an external linear slide.
Built with a brass sliding bearing, this double-acting unit shrugs off weld spatter, grit and coolant where a steel-ball guide would jam or wear prematurely. It delivers 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa through a Ø16 mm piston rod, while holding a tight ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance to keep fixtures square under offset loads. Plumbing is simplified via 1/8" ports with two independent routing groups (upper face and side), so you can feed air from whichever side is clear without elbows.

| Acting type | Double acting |
| 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 |

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-TCM32X50S Is Used
Spot Weld Gun Clamp
Applies 402 N of clamping force at 0.5 MPa to hold panels in a robotic spot welder. The brass sliding bearing tolerates weld spatter and knocks, outlasting linear ball guides in this dirty environment.
Weld Cell Fixture Slide
Indexes a heavy fixture into the weld zone with a ±0.06° non-rotating accuracy. The integrated twin-rod body carries the offset mass without needing a separate external guide rail.
Hot Part Ejection Gate
Stops and releases freshly welded assemblies on a transfer line. The fixed TPU bumpers absorb the hard end-of-stroke impacts, while the bearing runs reliably in carbon dust.
Is the Airtac B02-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X50S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this 32 mm bore, stepping down to Ø25 yields roughly 245 N of push, whereas moving up to Ø40 provides 628 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your weld cell demands ultra-low friction or high-precision vertical lifting. To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. Note that the guide resists rotation, not gravity; if air pressure drops, the rod drifts, so fit 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-TCM Welding Dedicated Triple-Axis Cylinder B02-TCM32X50S 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, produced solely by the centre piston rod.
B02- marks this as AirTAC's welding-industry dedicated variant of the TCM32X50S; mechanically the specs are identical. Every unit ships with a standard built-in magnet (S) for use with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in any of the four body slots.
