Airtac B06-TCL Battery Dedicated Air Cylinder B06-TCL16X10S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-TCL Battery Dedicated Air Cylinder B06-TCL16X10S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø16mm bore and 10mm 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 ±0.07° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B06-TCL Battery Dedicated Air Cylinder B06-TCL16X10S
The B06-TCL16X10S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCL16X10S, mechanically identical to the base JIS guided twin-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix simply designates its application fit for cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering any physical specs. A drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, completely eliminating the need to align a separate external linear slide.
Equipped with a steel-ball linear bearing, this double-acting unit ensures low-friction, stick-slip-free travel ideal for precise vertical lifts. It generates 101 N of push at 0.5 MPa while holding a tight ±0.07° non-rotating tolerance, keeping grippers perfectly square during off-centre handling. The Ø8 mm piston rod uses M5x0.8 ports, and stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion.

| Acting type | Double acting |
| Bearing | Steel-ball linear bearing |
| Port size | M5×0.8 |
| 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 | ±0.07° (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 (Ø16mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 101 N | 75 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 141 N | — |
| Max | 21 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø8 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 B06-TCL Battery Dedicated Air Cylinder B06-TCL16X10S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Leverages the 101 N push and low-friction steel-ball bearing to stack battery cells smoothly without stick-slip, while the ±0.07° tolerance keeps the pickup plate perfectly level.
Module Tab Welding
Clamps battery module tabs with 141 N of thrust at 0.7 MPa, relying on the twin guide rods to resist welding electrode side-load without needing an external rail.
Pack Electrode Lifting
Raises delicate electrode materials vertically using the integrated guide body, ensuring high-precision travel and zero rotation during the 10 mm transfer motion.
Is the Airtac B06-TCL Battery Dedicated Air Cylinder B06-TCL16X10S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 16 mm bore when your battery-handling fixture requires roughly 101 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa within a very compact 10 mm stroke. If you need less force, the Ø12 bore provides about 57 N; stepping up to the Ø20 bore yields 157 N. Consider the sister TCM series with its brass sliding bearing if the deployment involves heavy impact or dusty radial loads. To source a replacement, match the 16 mm bore, 10 mm stroke, M5x0.8 PT thread, and the standard S magnet. Note that air pressure loss causes the rod to drift downward, 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 B06-TCL Battery Dedicated Air Cylinder B06-TCL16X10S FAQ
This double-acting cylinder delivers 101 N push and 75 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 141 N push at 0.7 MPa, and a maximum theoretical force of 21 kgf. It operates at 0.15-1.0 MPa with a speed range of 30-500 mm/s.
The B06- prefix marks this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCL16X10S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper; there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set.
