Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X75S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X75S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø20mm bore and 75mm 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-TCM20X75S
The B06-TCM20X75S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCM20X75S, engineered specifically for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Mechanically identical to the base model, it is a JIS-standard twin-rod guided cylinder featuring a brass sliding bearing. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, generating 157 N of push and 118 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (220 N push at 0.7 MPa). This design entirely eliminates the need for an external linear guide to handle radial loads.
The brass sliding bearing is the core advantage here, shrugging off conductive dust, grit, and hard knocks where a steel-ball linear guide would jam or wear prematurely. It provides approximately double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. With a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.08°, it keeps an electrode or gripper plate perfectly square under offset loads. The Ø10 mm piston rod uses 1/8" ports, and two independent upper and side port groups let you route air from whichever face is clear. Stroke ends are damped by fixed elastomer pads rather than an adjustable cushion, and the standard built-in magnet supports CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches 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 (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-TCM20X75S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking Press
Pushes separator sheets and cell layers with 157 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive battery material dust, maintaining a ±0.08° square position without jamming.
Module Tab Welding Clamp
Holds busbars and tabs flat for laser welding. The integrated twin-rod guide absorbs side loads and weld spatter impacts, outlasting a standard cylinder by handling the radial stress directly.
Pack Transfer Line Stopper
Gates heavy battery packs moving on a conveyor. Using 220 N of push at 0.7 MPa, the fixed rubber bumpers absorb the hard end-of-stroke impact without requiring any cushion adjustment screws.
Is the Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM20X75S the Right Cylinder?
This 20 mm bore size provides a solid middle ground for tab welding or cell stacking. If you need less force to step down, the Ø12 bore yields 57 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to the Ø25 bore increases thrust to 245 N. When precision and low friction matter more than surviving abrasive contamination, the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing is the better choice for vertical or high-load positioning. To replace this unit, match the 20 mm bore, 75 mm stroke, 1/8" port, PT thread, and standard S magnet.
Be aware that the twin guide rods resist rotation, not gravity. If pneumatic pressure drops or the directional valve centres, the rod will drift and drop the load; install an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for fail-safe holding on a vertical battery assembly fixture.
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-TCM20X75S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it provides 157 N of push and 118 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 220 N, with a theoretical maximum force of 32 kgf. It operates on filtered air between 0.15 and 1.0 MPa, runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s, and uses a 1/8" port with a Ø10 mm rod.
The B06- prefix designates this as AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line of the TCM20X75S; the prefix is an industry designation only and changes no physical specifications. For cushioning, both stroke ends land on fixed TPU rubber bumpers. There is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set.
