The AirTAC B52-SC Copper-Free Standard Cylinder B52-SC125X1500S is a genuine double-acting standard air cylinder with a Ø125mm bore and 1500mm stroke, PT1/2 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. It is used for push, pull, lift and clamp motion in industrial automation.
The B52-SC125X1500S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the SC125X1500S tie-rod cylinder. The B52- prefix means this cylinder is manufactured without copper or copper alloys, making it suitable for lines where copper is not permitted, such as ammonia systems and some battery, electronics, and chemical plants. This model has a 125mm bore and a 1500mm stroke, delivering 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 11045 N at 0.9 MPa. The rod is 32mm in diameter, and the body length A is 203mm, giving a total extended length of approximately 1703mm.
This is a double-acting cylinder, meaning air pressure extends and retracts the rod. It features an adjustable cushion at both ends to decelerate the piston near stroke end, reducing impact. The standard TPU seals allow operation from -20 to +70C. The built-in magnet (-S) enables CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to be clamped onto the barrel for position sensing. For the copper-free build, please confirm the exact material substitutions with us, as our data does not specify which parts are replaced or their grades.

Use the B52-SC125X1500S in a press or stamping fixture where 6136 N of push force at 0.5 MPa is needed to form or bend metal parts. The long 1500mm stroke allows for deep draws or extended travel.
In a conveyor system, this cylinder can push or pull pallets or carts along a 1500mm track. The built-in magnet allows sensors to confirm the rod's position for automated sequencing.
In a chemical plant where copper is prohibited, this copper-free cylinder can actuate a large process valve. The 125mm bore provides the force to overcome valve resistance, and the long stroke accommodates multi-turn valve operation.
With a 125mm bore, this cylinder provides substantial force-6136 N push at 0.5 MPa-making it a strong choice for heavy pushing, lifting, or clamping applications. If you need less force, consider stepping down to the 100mm bore, which delivers 3927 N at 0.5 MPa. For more force, the 160mm bore offers 10053 N at 0.5 MPa. This is an ISO 6430 class cylinder, but it is not dimensionally interchangeable with ISO 15552 cylinders; the SC line is shorter. For replacement, match the bore, stroke, port thread (PT), mounting accessory, and magnet option.
At a 1500mm stroke, the unsupported rod can bend under side load. Use an external guide or a guided cylinder to manage side loads and prevent rod bearing damage. The rod is 32mm in diameter, which is relatively thin for this long stroke, so ensure proper alignment and support in your application.
Quick checklist
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 6136 N and the pull force is 5734 N. At 0.9 MPa, the push force is 11045 N. The maximum theoretical force at 1.0 MPa is 1251 kgf.
B52- indicates AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build, meaning the cylinder contains no copper or copper alloys, suitable for ammonia systems or certain battery/electronics/chemical plants. For replacement, match the bore (125mm), stroke (1500mm), port thread (PT), mounting accessory, and magnet option. The exact material substitutions for the copper-free build should be confirmed with us.
