The AirTAC B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM63X100S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm 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 ±0.05° of rotation without any external linear guide.
The AirTAC B06-TCM63X100S is a JIS guided twin-rod double-acting cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks this as a battery-dedicated variant of the base TCM63X100S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard unit but designated for cell, module, and pack assembly tasks. A drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, eliminating the need for an external linear rail. Equipped with a brass sliding bearing, this design shrugs off conductive dust, grit, and hard knocks, offering about twice the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder where a steel-ball guide might jam.
Generating 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull at 0.5 MPa (reaching 2182 N at 0.7 MPa), it handles heavy positioning duties with ease. The Ø20 mm piston rod operates on 1/4" ports, while the twin-guide structure holds a strict non-rotating tolerance of ±0.05°, keeping grippers or stacking plates perfectly square under off-centre loads. 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 across 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max | 318 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø20 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.
| TC | Tri-rod (guided, twin-rod) cylinder, double acting. |

Sister type: TCL63X100 (steel-ball linear bearing, lower friction & higher precision). Thread codes: blank = PT · G · T = NPT.
Pushes heavy battery cells into module packs with 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. The brass sliding bearing tolerates abrasive cell debris and side loads without jamming.
Holds battery tabs flat for laser welding with a strict ±0.05° non-rotating accuracy. Fixed TPU bumpers absorb the impact of rapid clamping cycles without needing adjustment.
Acts as a heavy-duty gate on a battery pack assembly line. The twin guide rods absorb the torsional load of halting a moving pallet, a task a plain cylinder cannot handle.
When sizing this 63 mm bore guided cylinder, stepping down to a Ø50 bore yields roughly 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, whereas stepping up to an Ø80 bore provides 2513 N. Choose this 63 mm model when your battery-handling fixture requires 1559 N of thrust alongside high radial load capacity. If your application instead demands low-friction precision for vertical high-load positioning, the sister TCL series with its steel-ball linear bearing is the better route. To replace this unit, match the 63 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, 1/4" port, PT thread form, and standard S magnet.
Remember that the guide resists rotation, not gravity; if air pressure drops or the valve is centred, the rod will drift downward. For fail-safe holding of a heavy battery module during an emergency stop, integrate an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve into your pneumatic circuit.
Quick checklist
This 63 mm bore cylinder generates 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force increases to 2182 N. The theoretical maximum force is 318 kgf.
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCM63X100S, sharing identical mechanical specs. It uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end to soften stops; there is no adjustable air cushion or cushion screw to set.
