Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL32X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL32X50S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 50mm 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 ±0.05° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL32X50S
The B52-TCL32X50S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of the TCL32X50S, a JIS-standard guided twin-rod cylinder. Its drive piston runs between two guide rods held in a steel-ball linear bearing, all within a single body. This design prevents rod rotation and handles side loads and torque, so you can skip an external linear guide. The 'B52-' prefix marks the build for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants; the exact material substitutions should be confirmed with us.
At 0.5 MPa, this bore delivers 402 N of push and 302 N of pull, with a theoretical maximum of 82 kgf. The non-rotating tolerance is +/-0.05, which keeps a gripper or plate square under an off-centre load. The steel-ball bearing provides low-friction, stick-slip-free travel, making this 50 mm stroke unit a strong fit for precise vertical lifts and high-cycle pick-and-place tasks.

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 (Ø32mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 402 N | 302 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 563 N | — |
| Max | 82 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø16 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-TCL32X50S Is Used
Precision Vertical Lift
Use the B52-TCL32X50S in a vertical lift for a light assembly fixture. The steel-ball bearing eliminates stick-slip, ensuring smooth travel, while the +/-0.05 anti-rotation tolerance keeps the fixture square. Its 402 N push at 0.5 MPa handles the load with a good safety margin.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Mount an off-centre gripper on this guided cylinder for a pick-and-place cell. The twin guide rods absorb the moment from the offset load, preventing binding and maintaining accuracy. The copper-free build is suitable for sensitive electronics assembly areas where copper is restricted.
Battery Cell Positioning
In a battery production line, use this cylinder to position cells for testing. The copper-free construction meets the line's material restrictions, and the smooth, precise travel from the linear bearing protects delicate components. The 50 mm stroke is ideal for short, repeatable indexing moves.
Is the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL32X50S the Right Cylinder?
For sizing, compare this 32 model against its neighbours: 25 gives roughly 245 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while 40 steps up to about 628 N. If your application involves heavy impacts or dusty conditions, the TCM series with its brass sliding bearing might be a better choice. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred-the rod will drift. For a fail-safe hold, you'll need an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. This unit has a 1/8" port with PT thread, a 16 mm piston rod, and the standard built-in magnet (S).
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-TCL32X50S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 402 N and the pull force is 302 N. When supplied with 0.7 MPa, the push force rises to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf. These figures are identical to the standard TCL32X50S.
The 'B52-' prefix designates AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build. This version is intended for environments where copper and copper alloys are not allowed. The dimensional and performance specifications are the same as the standard TCL32X50S, but the specific material substitutions are not detailed in our data.
