The AirTAC B06-TCM Battery-Specific Cylinder B06-TCM63X50S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm bore and 50mm 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 B06-TCM63X50S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCM63X50S, mechanically identical to the base JIS guided twin-rod cylinder but designated for cell and pack assembly lines. A drive piston runs between two guide rods in a single integrated body, completely removing the need for an external linear slide. The brass sliding bearing is built for harsh duty, shrugging off grit and hard knocks while delivering roughly double the horizontal impact resistance of a plain cylinder. Generating 1559 N of push at 0.5 MPa, this double-acting actuator easily handles heavy positioning tasks.
Precision is locked in by a ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, keeping any gripper or stacking plate perfectly square under off-centre loads. The Ø20 mm piston rod is fed by 1/4" ports, and the body features two independent port groups (upper face and side) so you can route pneumatic lines from whichever direction is clear. Stroke termination relies on fixed rubber TPU bumpers at each end, meaning there is no adjustable air cushion screw to tune. The standard built-in magnet works seamlessly with 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. |

| ×50 | Stroke length in mm. |
| S | Built-in magnet (standard on TC) for a magnetic sensor switch. |
Sister type: TCL63X50 (steel-ball linear bearing, lower friction & higher precision). Thread codes: blank = PT · G · T = NPT.
Pushes heavy battery modules into alignment racks during pack assembly, utilizing the 1559 N thrust and brass sliding bearing to absorb side impacts without jamming.
Holds battery cell tabs flat under welding heads with a strict ±0.05° non-rotating tolerance, ensuring the gripper plate stays square despite off-centre pressure.
Acts as a heavy-duty stop gate on conveyor lines transferring raw materials, where the twin guide rods endure constant horizontal impact loads that would destroy a plain cylinder.
This 63 mm bore provides 1559 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa. If your assembly station requires less force, stepping down to a 50 mm bore yields 982 N of push, while moving up to an 80 mm bore provides 2513 N for heavier pack manipulation. Because the brass sliding bearing excels in dirty or impacting environments where a steel-ball guide might jam, it is ideal for demanding cell handling. If your task instead demands extreme vertical precision with low friction, consider the sibling TCL series with its linear ball bearing.
Note that a TC cylinder will not hold its vertical load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered; the rod will drift, so fit an external rod lock or pilot check valve for fail-safe positioning. This specific SKU includes the standard magnet (S) and PT thread form. To replace it, match the 63 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, 1/4" port, and PT thread.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa this cylinder provides 1559 N of push and 1402 N of pull. At 0.7 MPa the push increases to 2182 N. The maximum theoretical force is 318 kgf.
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the TCM63X50S; the physical specs, seals, and dimensions are completely identical to the base model. Regarding end-of-stroke damping, it uses fixed rubber TPU bumpers at both ends and does not feature an adjustable air cushion.
