About the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X50
The B06-SC40X50 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SC40X50 tie-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix designates its use in cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering the base mechanics. As a double-acting pneumatic actuator, it delivers 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and 1130 N at 0.9 MPa.
This specific 50 mm stroke is ideal for short, repetitive handling tasks like cell stacking or tab welding. It features a 16 mm piston rod, a PT1/4 port, and 21 mm adjustable cushions to decelerate the piston at stroke ends. The body length A is 142 mm, yielding a total extended length of 192 mm.

Where the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X50 Is Used
Cell Stacking
Provides the precise 628 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to align and stack battery cells tightly during module assembly.
Tab Welding Clamp
Uses its short 50 mm stroke for rapid, repeatable clamping of battery tabs prior to ultrasonic or laser welding.
Pack Handling
Actuates short-stroke diverters and stops on conveyor lines transporting battery packs through cleanroom environments.
Is the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when a 32 mm cylinder lacks thrust. A 32 mm bore provides 402 N push at 0.5 MPa, whereas this 40 mm bore yields 628 N. If your battery line needs substantially more clamping power, stepping up to a 50 mm bore offers 982 N at the same pressure. Because the 50 mm stroke is short, side-load stress on the rod bearing is minimal.
When replacing this unit on the production floor, match five key points: the 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and the absence of a magnet suffix. This TPU-sealed cylinder operates reliably between -20 and +70 C.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X50 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SC40X50, offering the same 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, and 1130 N thrust at 0.9 MPa, but is designated for battery assembly applications.
At its maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, the double-acting 40 mm bore piston generates 1130 N of push force and 528 N of pull force at 0.5 MPa.
