Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL40X125S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL40X125S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø40mm bore and 125mm 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-TCL40X125S
The B52-TCL40X125S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the TCL40X125S, a JIS guided twin-rod double-acting cylinder. Its steel-ball linear bearing delivers low-friction, high-precision travel, making it ideal for smooth vertical lifts and accurate positioning. The twin guide rods eliminate the need for an external linear guide, saving space and simplifying installation.
At 0.5 MPa, this bore generates 628 N of push force and 528 N of pull, with a non-rotating tolerance of +/-0.05 to keep attached tooling square under off-centre loads. The 16 mm piston rod and 1/8" ports are fixed by the 40 mm bore, and the fixed TPU bumpers at each end soften the stop without any adjustable cushion to set. This 125 mm stroke suits applications requiring precise, repeatable motion in a compact envelope.

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 (Ø40mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 628 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 880 N | — |
| Max | 128 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-TCL40X125S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Lifts a 60 kg access panel smoothly on a machine guard. The steel-ball bearing prevents stick-slip during the 125 mm vertical travel, while the +/-0.05 anti-rotation keeps the panel edge square to the frame.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Positions a gripper holding a 12 kg automotive bracket. The twin guide rods carry the moment from the off-centre load, and the 628 N push at 0.5 MPa provides ample force to index the part into a fixture.
Camera Inspection Index
Advances a vision-system camera 125 mm to inspect PCB assemblies. The low-friction linear bearing delivers vibration-free travel, and the four sensor slots allow precise position feedback with a DS1 electronic switch.
Is the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL40X125S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing, consider the next bore down, 32, which delivers ~402 N push at 0.5 MPa, or step up to 50 for ~982 N push if you need more force headroom. The B52- prefix marks the copper-free version, so confirm the exact material substitutions with us for your specific line. This cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe holding, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. Choose the TCM series with its brass sliding bearing if your duty involves heavy impact or dusty radial loads. The replacement match is bore 40, stroke 125, 1/8" ports, PT thread (blank code), with 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-TCL40X125S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the push force is 628 N and the pull is 528 N. At 0.7 MPa, push rises to 880 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 128 kgf. These figures apply to the 40 mm bore with a 125 mm stroke.
B52- marks AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build, intended 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 identical to the standard TCL40X125S, but the specific material substitutions are not listed in our data-please confirm the exact replacements with us before ordering.
