About the Airtac B52-SC Copper-Free Standard Cylinder B52-SC40X100
The B52-SC40X100 is the copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of AirTAC's SC40X100 tie-rod cylinder. It delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa, with a 16 mm rod and a 21 mm adjustable cushion at each end. The 100 mm stroke suits short-cycle automation where compactness and clean-media compatibility matter.
The leading B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free construction, intended for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems and some battery, electronics, or chemical plants. Exact material substitutions are not listed here-confirm those details with us before ordering. This model uses TPU seals for -20 to +70 C operation and PT (tapered) port threads.

Where the Airtac B52-SC Copper-Free Standard Cylinder B52-SC40X100 Is Used
Fixture Clamping
Push 628 N at 0.5 MPa to clamp small workpieces in a jig or fixture. The 100 mm stroke provides enough travel for loading and unloading without overextending.
Short-Stroke Transfer
Move parts a short distance on a conveyor or transfer line. The 40 mm bore and 100 mm stroke deliver repeatable motion at speeds from 30 to 800 mm/s.
Copper-Free Process Line
Use in ammonia or copper-sensitive environments where copper alloys are prohibited. The B52- build keeps the cylinder compatible with such lines, but verify material substitutions with us.
Is the Airtac B52-SC Copper-Free Standard Cylinder B52-SC40X100 the Right Cylinder?
For a higher force class, step up to the 50 mm bore, which pushes 982 N at 0.5 MPa; step down to the 32 mm bore for 402 N if your load is lighter. The 100 mm stroke is within the standard range, so no made-to-order lead time applies. When replacing an existing cylinder, match five points: bore, stroke, port thread (PT here), mounting accessory (basic here), and magnet option (none here). For strokes of 300 mm or more, an external guide is recommended to prevent rod bending under side load-this 100 mm stroke is short enough to avoid that concern.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B52-SC Copper-Free Standard Cylinder B52-SC40X100 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull force is 528 N. At 0.9 MPa, push force rises to 1130 N. These figures are identical to the standard SC40X100.
B52- marks the copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of the SC40X100. It shares the same bore, stroke, ports, and mounting dimensions, so it can replace a standard SC40X100 in the same envelope. Confirm the exact material substitutions with us to ensure compatibility with your media.
