About the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X500S
The AirTAC B06-SC40X500S is a double-acting tie-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard SC40X500S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but tailored for cell, module, and pack assembly applications. Delivering 628N of push force at 0.5 MPa (879N at 0.7 MPa), it is built to drive stacking, tabbing, and material handling tasks.
This specific configuration features a 16mm piston rod, a PT1/4 port, and adjustable cushions with a 21mm length to soften end-of-stroke impacts. The built-in S suffix magnet allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for precise position detection. With a body length A of 142mm, the total extended length reaches 642mm.

Where the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X500S Is Used
Cell Stacking Presses
Provides the consistent 879N push force at 0.7 MPa required for aligning and pressing battery cells during automated stacking processes.
Module Material Handling
Actuates transfer arms and indexing mechanisms along the battery module assembly line, using the built-in magnet for stroke-end confirmation.
Tab Welding Fixtures
Secures battery tabs and foils in position for laser welding, benefiting from the 21mm adjustable cushions to prevent jarring at 500mm stroke ends.
Is the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC40X500S the Right Cylinder?
This 40mm bore provides a balanced mid-range force, stepping up from the 32mm bore (402N push at 0.5 MPa) for heavier battery jigs, or stepping down from the 50mm bore (982N push at 0.5 MPa) to save space. When ordering a replacement, match the 40mm bore, 500mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and the required built-in magnet (-S).
Because this model features a 500mm stroke, the unsupported 16mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. For battery-handling operations that impose lateral forces, integrate an external guide rail or select a guided cylinder to prevent rod-bearing wear and premature failure.
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-SC40X500S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates that this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard AirTAC SC40X500S. It is mechanically identical to the base model, offering the same 40mm bore, 500mm stroke, and 879N push force at 0.7 MPa, but is designated for battery production environments.
The SC tie-rod cylinder does not hold position or resist side loads on its own. At 500mm stroke, the 16mm rod can bend if subjected to lateral forces. External guide rails or a guided cylinder should be used to manage side loads, and a mechanical lock is required if the load must be held without air pressure.
