The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X250 is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø25mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø100mm bore, 250mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD100X250 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD100X250, sharing identical mechanical specifications. Because the Ø25 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa and a robust 6626 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke configuration is tailored for cell stacking and module handling where symmetric loading is crucial. The cylinder features a 29 mm adjustable cushion at stroke ends to decelerate heavy tooling smoothly, and its body length A(SCD) is 263 mm. Note that the adjustable cushion only slows the piston near end-of-travel; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SCD (double-rod) datasheet. Because the rod runs through both caps, the effective area is (bore² − rod²) in both directions. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT (standard) / G.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 3682 N | 3682 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 5154 N | 5154 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 751 kgf | |
Push and pull are EQUAL on a double-rod cylinder — both chambers lose the rod area, so effective area = (bore² − rod²) each way. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure; size with a safety margin.

Related types: SC (single rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). SCD mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Provides equal 3681 N clamping and retraction force to align and press battery cells precisely without rotational drift during stacking.
Uses the dual through-rods to mount opposing tooling for moving battery modules between assembly stations symmetrically.
Delivers consistent 6626 N thrust at 0.9 MPa for holding battery tabs firmly during laser welding, with rear-rod sensing capability.
Select this 100 mm bore when your battery assembly line needs substantial equal-thrust in both directions (3681 N at 0.5 MPa). If your application requires less force, stepping down to an 80 mm bore provides 2268 N at 0.5 MPa. Conversely, if you need higher throughput force, the 125 mm bore offers 5734 N. For simpler one-way actuation where rear tooling is unnecessary, a single-rod SC cylinder is more compact.
At 250 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is moderate, but for heavy side loads common in pack handling, an external guide or a fully guided cylinder is recommended to prevent rod bending. To replace this unit, match the 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting, and ensure no magnet is required. SCD mounting accessories are limited to FA, LB, TC, and TCM1.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD100X250. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, featuring the same 100 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, and PT1/2 port, simply designated for battery industry applications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull force (3681 N at 0.5 MPa here) because the rod area is subtracted on both sides. It offers better anti-rotation, symmetric bearing load, and a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensors, which is ideal for precision battery assembly.
