About the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC50X500
The B06-SC50X500 is an AirTAC double-acting tie-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing environments. The "B06-" prefix designates it as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard SC50X500, meaning it shares the exact same physical specifications, including a 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, 20mm rod, and PT1/4 port. It delivers 982 N of push force at 0.5 MPa and up to 1767 N at 0.9 MPa.
With a 500mm stroke and a body length A of 150mm, this cylinder provides the extended travel needed for cell stacking and module handling. It features adjustable cushions measuring 21mm to decelerate the piston at stroke ends. Note that this is a standard tie-rod cylinder, which is shorter than an ISO 15552 profile, making it a compact choice for battery assembly lines.

Where the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC50X500 Is Used
Cell Stacking
Drives the extended 500mm linear motion required for layering battery cells accurately during module assembly.
Module Handling
Pushes or positions heavy battery modules along the conveyor line using its 1767 N thrust at 0.9 MPa.
Tab Welding Press
Provides stable 50mm bore actuation to lower welding heads onto battery tabs with consistent pressure.
Is the Airtac B06-SC Battery-Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SC50X500 the Right Cylinder?
This 50mm bore offers 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa; if your battery handling fixture requires less force, step down to the 40mm bore (628 N), or step up to the 63mm bore (1559 N) for heavier pack manipulation. When ordering a replacement, match the 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration.
Because the stroke is 500mm, the 20mm piston rod is subject to bending under side loads. For battery cell stacking or tabbing operations that generate any lateral force, use an external guide rail or a guided cylinder to prevent rod bearing wear and ensure precise alignment.
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-SC50X500 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SC50X500. It is mechanically identical to the standard SC50X500, featuring the same 50mm bore, 500mm stroke, and 982 N push force at 0.5 MPa.
The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder and does not inherently resist side loads. With a 500mm stroke, the 20mm rod can bend if subjected to lateral forces. An external guide or a dedicated guided cylinder must be used to support the load.
