Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM40X25S
The AirTAC B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM40X25S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 25mm 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 B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM40X25S
The B06-TCM40X25S is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the AirTAC TCM40X25S, mechanically identical to the base JIS guided twin-rod cylinder. A central drive piston runs between two guide rods supported by a brass sliding bearing, integrating the drive and anti-rotation guide into one body to eliminate external rails. Generating 628 N of push at 0.5 MPa, it carries heavy side loads and tolerates about twice the horizontal impact of a plain cylinder.
The brass sleeve bearing thrives in gritty cell-handling environments where a steel-ball guide would jam, offering high torsional rigidity. It holds a strict ±0.06° non-rotating tolerance, keeping stacking plates or grippers square under offset loads. Air feeds via 1/8" ports, and the Ø16 piston rod moves at 30-500 mm/s. Stroke ends hit fixed TPU bumpers rather than an adjustable air cushion, while the standard built-in magnet works with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switches in the four sensor slots.

| Stroke | 25 mm |
| 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 |
| Max std stroke | Up to 250 mm |
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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max | 128 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 B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM40X25S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking Press
Pushes prismatic cells into modules with 628 N at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive cell debris and resists side-knocks where a ball guide would wear.
Tab Welding Clamp
Holds battery tabs flat for laser welding. The ±0.06° non-rotating accuracy keeps the clamp face perfectly parallel under offset loads.
Pack Transfer Stopper
Gates heavy battery packs on a conveyor. The twin guide rods absorb the 880 N peak impact force at 0.7 MPa without bending the Ø16 rod.
Is the Airtac B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM40X25S the Right Cylinder?
This 40 mm bore provides 628 N push at 0.5 MPa. If you need less force, step down to the Ø32 bore (402 N push); for heavier pressing, step up to the Ø50 bore (982 N push). For high-precision vertical stacking without friction, consider the TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 25 mm stroke, 1/8" PT ports, and standard S magnet. Note that the guide prevents rotation but will not hold a load vertically if air pressure drops; add a pilot check valve 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-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM40X25S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this 40 mm bore cylinder provides 628 N of push and 528 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa, push increases to 880 N. The theoretical maximum force is 128 kgf.
The B06- prefix designates this as an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery manufacturing lines, though mechanically it is identical to the standard TCM40X25S. It uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at both ends to soften strokes; it does not feature adjustable air cushions.
