About the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X500
The B06-SC40X500 is an AirTAC double-acting tie-rod pneumatic cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant of the SC40X500, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model with a 40mm bore and 500mm stroke. It delivers a push force of 628 N at 0.5 MPa and features a 16mm piston rod with a PT1/4 port.
At 0.9 MPa, the maximum operating pressure, this cylinder generates 1130 N of thrust. It uses adjustable cushions measuring 21mm to decelerate the piston at stroke ends. The total extended length is approximately 642mm (142mm body length A plus 500mm stroke). Standard TPU seals support an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 C.

Where the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X500 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides the 628N push force at 0.5MPa needed to press and align prismatic battery cells into modules during automated assembly.
Module Transfer
Extends 500mm to push battery modules across conveyor transitions or index them into pack housings on the production line.
Tab Welding Feed
Positions battery tabs or busbars for laser welding with consistent pressure, utilizing the 16mm rod for stable extension.
Is the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X500 the Right Cylinder?
This 40mm bore provides 628 N of push force at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking or handling application requires less force, stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 402 N. For heavier pack manipulation, a 50mm bore increases output to 982 N. When replacing this unit, match the 40mm bore, 500mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration.
Because this model has a 500mm stroke, the extended 16mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. For battery cell handling and alignment tasks that generate lateral forces, use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing damage and premature wear.
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-SC40X500 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SC40X500, offering the same 40mm bore, 500mm stroke, 628N push force at 0.5MPa, and PT1/4 port.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke ends and does not support side loads. Because the 500mm stroke extends a 16mm rod, you must use an external guide or guided cylinder to manage lateral forces and prevent rod bending.
