Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X30S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X30S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 30mm 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 ±0.08° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X30S
The B06-TCM20X30S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCM20X30S, sharing the exact same JIS guided twin-rod double-acting architecture. The B06- prefix simply designates its application focus for cell and pack assembly lines, altering no physical specs. A drive piston runs between two guide rods supported by a brass sliding bearing, forming one integrated body that prevents rotation and carries side load without needing an external linear guide. Delivering 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this 20 mm bore, 30 mm stroke unit keeps tools square under off-centre loads thanks to a tight ±0.08° non-rotating tolerance.
This bearing design shrugs off dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder where a steel-ball guide might jam from contamination. The Ø10 mm piston rod uses 1/8" ports, and two independent upper and side port groups let you plumb from whichever face is clear. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion. The standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots, while precision locating holes let you swap the unit without re-teaching positions.

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 (Ø20mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 157 N | 118 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 220 N | — |
| Max | 32 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø10 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-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X30S Is Used
Prismatic Cell Stacking Pusher
Feeds battery cells into stacking jigs using 157 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates electrode dust and minor misalignments, maintaining a square push across the 30 mm stroke.
Module Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery module tabs flat for laser welding. The ±0.08° non-rotating accuracy keeps the clamping face perfectly parallel, while the twin-rod body absorbs side load without an external guide.
Pack Pallet Stopper Gate
Acts as a hard stop for battery packs on a transfer line. The impact-tolerant brass bearing survives repeated knocks from moving pallets, outperforming a standard cylinder in this dirty environment.
Is the Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X30S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this model, stepping down to a Ø16 bore yields roughly 101 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas moving up to a Ø25 bore provides 245 N. Choose the sibling TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing instead if your battery-handling task demands low-friction precision or high vertical load capacity. To replace this cylinder, match the 20 mm bore, 30 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and the standard S magnet. Note that a TC cylinder will not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve centres; the rod drifts, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe holding during a power loss.
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-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X30S FAQ
This 20 mm bore cylinder generates 157 N of push and 118 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, reaching 220 N of push at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf. It operates on filtered air at 0.15-1.0 MPa and runs at speeds between 30-500 mm/s.
The B06- prefix indicates this is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line of the base TCM20X30S; it is mechanically identical to the standard model. Regarding end-of-stroke damping, each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper—there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set on this series.
