Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL32X90S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL32X90S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø32mm bore and 90mm 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-TCL32X90S
The B52-TCL32X90S is a JIS-standard guided twin-rod cylinder from AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build, designed for lines where copper and copper alloys are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. Its steel-ball linear bearing delivers low-friction, high-precision travel without the stick-slip of a plain bearing, making it ideal for smooth vertical lifts and accurate, high-cycle loads. The 'B52-' prefix marks this as the copper-free version of the TCL32X90S; please confirm the exact material substitutions with us.
This double-acting cylinder generates 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (563 N at 0.7 MPa) and holds a non-rotating tolerance of +/-0.05, keeping a gripper or plate square under off-centre loads. With a 16 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports, it suits a 90 mm stroke application where space is tight and precision is paramount. Each end lands on a fixed TPU bumper that softens the stop, with no adjustable air cushion 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 | ±0.05° (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 (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-TCL32X90S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Raises a 90 mm stroke panel lift in a cleanroom assembly station. The steel-ball bearing prevents stick-slip, ensuring smooth, accurate vertical travel with 402 N of push at 0.5 MPa.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Positions an off-centre gripper on a pick-and-place unit. The +/-0.05 non-rotating tolerance keeps the gripper square under load, while the twin-rod guide carries the moment without an external rail.
Lab Sample Positioning
Moves a sample tray in a chemical analysis machine where copper-free construction is required. The low-friction linear bearing delivers repeatable, precise travel, and the 90 mm stroke suits compact instrument layouts.
Is the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL32X90S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, compare with the 25 bore (245 N push at 0.5 MPa) if you need less force, or step up to the 40 bore (628 N push at 0.5 MPa) for a heavier load. The B52-TCL32X90S offers a middle ground with 402 N push, making it a versatile choice for medium-duty tasks. Choose the TCM series instead if your application involves impact, dust, or heavy radial loads, as its brass sliding bearing handles those conditions better. This model does not hold its load if air pressure is lost or the valve is centred-the rod drifts; the guide resists rotation, not gravity. For a fail-safe hold, add an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve. The replacement match is bore 32, stroke 90, 1/8" ports with PT thread (default), and the built-in magnet S is standard.
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-TCL32X90S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, push is 402 N and pull is 302 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 563 N. The theoretical maximum force is 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. These figures apply to the centre piston rod; the twin guide rods carry side load and torque, not thrust.
