Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL25X175S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL25X175S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø25mm bore and 175mm stroke on twin guide rods. Its integrated steel-ball linear bearing gives low-friction, high-precision travel — well suited to vertical lifts and high-load, high-accuracy moves, holding the tool square to ±0.06° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL25X175S
The B52-TCL25X175S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the TCL25X175S, a JIS-standard guided twin-rod cylinder with a steel-ball linear bearing. The prefix "B52-" marks this as the version for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. The drive piston runs between two guide rods in one integrated body, so the unit prevents rotation and carries side load and torque without any external linear guide.
At 25mm bore, this model delivers 245 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and holds a non-rotating tolerance of +/-0.06, which keeps a gripper or plate square under an off-centre load. The steel-ball linear bearing gives low-friction, smooth travel with no stick-slip, making it a strong choice for precise vertical lifts. The 175mm stroke suits medium-travel positioning tasks where accuracy matters more than raw power. Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper that softens the stop, with no air-cushion screw to set.

| 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) |

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 (Ø25mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 245 N | 189 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 344 N | — |
| Max | 50 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø12 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 B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL25X175S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Raises a 20 kg access panel smoothly on a machine guard. The 245 N push at 0.5 MPa clears the weight with margin, while the steel-ball bearing prevents stick-slip during the lift, and the +/-0.06 anti-rotation keeps the panel square to the frame.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Positions a gripper that holds a part 40 mm off the cylinder axis on an assembly cell. The twin guide rods carry the moment load, and the low-friction linear bearing maintains accurate travel so the part stays square to the nest at every cycle.
Lab Sample Positioning
Moves a sample tray into a testing station in a clean-room analyser. The copper-free build suits the ammonia-free environment, while the smooth, precise travel from the linear ball bearing and the 175mm stroke give repeatable placement without re-teaching after a re-fit.
Is the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL25X175S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this cylinder, consider the neighbours: the 20 bore gives roughly 157 N of push at 0.5 MPa if you need less force, while the 32 bore delivers about 402 N if you need more. The B52-TCL25X175S uses a 12 mm piston rod with 1/8" ports, and the thread form is PT by default. The built-in magnet (S) is standard, so a CS1 reed or DS1 electronic switch can fit in one of the four sensor slots. For impact or dusty radial-load duty, consider the TCM series with its brass sliding bearing instead. Note that this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost - the rod drifts, so for a fail-safe hold, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The B52- prefix means copper-free construction; confirm the exact material substitutions with us before ordering.
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 B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL25X175S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 245 N and the pull force is 189 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 344 N. The theoretical maximum is 50 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These figures come from the AirTAC datasheet for the 25mm bore.
The B52- prefix marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the TCL25X175S. It is designed for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. The dimensional and performance figures are shared with the standard model, but the specific material substitutions are not in our data - please confirm the exact grades with us before ordering.
