The AirTAC B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM25X100S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 100mm 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.
The B06-TCM25X100S is an AirTAC JIS guided twin-rod cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-dedicated variant of the base TCM25X100S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard unit. It uses a double-acting drive piston running between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear slide. A brass sliding bearing supports the rods, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder while shrugging off dust, grit, and debris where a steel-ball guide would jam.
Delivering 245 N of push and 189 N of pull at 0.5 MPa, this Ø25 bore unit is suited for cell stacking or module handling. It holds a non-rotating tolerance of ±0.08°, keeping a gripper or plate square under off-centre loads. The Ø12 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, and the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in 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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |

| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max | 50 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø12 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.

Sister type: TCL25X100 (steel-ball linear bearing, lower friction & higher precision). Thread codes: blank = PT · G · T = NPT.
Pushes lithium cells into alignment during stacking with 245 N of force at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive dust from electrode cutting, maintaining a ±0.08° non-rotating accuracy so the cell faces remain perfectly parallel.
Stops and positions heavy battery modules on a conveyor. The twin guide rods absorb the radial side load of the moving pallet, while the impact-tolerant brass bearing survives hard knocks without failing like a steel-ball guide.
Holds battery tabs flat for laser welding. The integrated guide keeps the clamping face square under off-centre pressure, and the 1/8" ported Ø12 rod cycles at 30-500 mm/s to maintain high throughput on the weld line.
This 25 mm bore generates roughly 245 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, stepping down to the Ø20 bore yields about 157 N of push, while moving up to the Ø32 bore provides 402 N for heavier pack manipulation. Because the guide resists rotation but not gravity, the rod will drift if air pressure is lost; add an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe load holding. Choose the TCL series instead if your task demands the low-friction, high-precision motion of a steel-ball linear bearing for vertical high-load work.
To replace this unit, match the 25 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 1/8" port, PT thread form, and the standard S magnet. The 100 mm stroke is well within the 250 mm maximum standard limit for this bore, so it is a stock configuration. Precision locating holes allow you to remove and re-fit the cylinder without re-teaching the position.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this double-acting cylinder provides 245 N of push and 189 N of pull. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 344 N. The theoretical maximum force is 50 kgf.
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCM25X100S; mechanically, every spec matches the base model exactly. Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper to soften the stop, but there is no adjustable air cushion screw to set.
