Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL63X90S
The AirTAC Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL63X90S is a genuine JIS-standard guided cylinder with a Ø63mm 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 ±0.04° of rotation without any external linear guide.

About the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL63X90S
The B52-TCL63X90S is AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) version of the TCL63X90S, a JIS-standard guided twin-rod cylinder. The 'B52-' prefix indicates this build substitutes copper and copper alloys for applications where they are not permitted, such as ammonia systems or certain battery, electronics, and chemical plants. This unit generates 1559 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and delivers 2182 N at 0.7 MPa, making it a robust choice for demanding automation tasks.
The steel-ball linear bearing in this TCL series provides exceptionally low friction and smooth, precise travel without the stick-slip effect common in sliding bearings. The twin guide rods maintain a non-rotating tolerance of +/-0.04, keeping attached tooling square under off-center loads. With a 20 mm piston rod and 1/4" ports, this cylinder is built for reliable, high-cycle operation in vertical lift and accurate positioning applications.

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 (Ø63mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 1559 N | 1402 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 2182 N | — |
| Max | 318 kgf | |
Force is set by the bore and piston rod (Ø20 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-TCL63X90S Is Used
Vertical Panel Lift
Lifting a 150 kg access panel on a battery assembly line. The 1559 N push at 0.5 MPa handles the load, while the steel-ball bearing ensures smooth, stick-slip-free vertical travel and the +/-0.04 tolerance keeps the panel square.
Off-Centre Gripper Transfer
Transferring electronic components with an off-centre gripper on a pick-and-place unit. The twin guide rods resist the induced torque, maintaining precise positioning without an external slide, and the copper-free build suits the electronics environment.
Chemical Plant Valve Actuation
Actuating a divert valve in a chemical processing line where copper is prohibited. The B52- build meets the material restriction, while the 1402 N pull force at 0.5 MPa provides reliable retraction and the guide rods prevent binding from pipeline side loads.
Is the Airtac B52-TCL Copper-Free Triple Rod Cylinder B52-TCL63X90S the Right Cylinder?
When selecting this cylinder, consider the bore size relative to your load requirements. The next bore down, 50, delivers 982 N of push at 0.5 MPa, while the next bore up, 80, provides 2513 N. This allows you to fine-tune your force margin. For applications with heavy impact or dusty environments, the TCM series with its brass sliding bearing may be more suitable, but for precision and low friction, the TCL is superior.
This model features PT (tapered) ports as standard, with the built-in magnet (S) for use with CS1 reed or DS1 electronic sensors. The 90 mm stroke is within the standard 250 mm maximum for this bore. Remember, this cylinder does not hold its load if air pressure is lost; for fail-safe applications, add an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. The copper-free construction means you should confirm the exact material substitutions with us for your specific media compatibility requirements.
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-TCL63X90S FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, this cylinder produces 1559 N of push force and 1402 N of pull force. Increasing the pressure to 0.7 MPa raises the push force to 2182 N. The theoretical maximum force at 1.0 MPa is 318 kgf. These figures apply to the centre piston rod; the guide rods carry side load and torque, not axial thrust.
The 'B52-' prefix designates AirTAC's copper-free (copper-prohibited) build of the TCL63X90S. This means copper and copper alloys are substituted in the construction, making it suitable for lines where these materials are not allowed, such as ammonia systems or certain battery and chemical plants. The exact material substitutions and any changes to media compatibility should be confirmed with us before installation.
