The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X400 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, 400mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD100X400 is an AirTAC double-acting double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD100X400. Mechanically, it is identical to the base model. The through-rod design yields identical thrust in both directions, providing 3681N of force at 0.5 MPa and reaching 6626N at 0.9 MPa. This symmetric output is essential for precision handling in cell and module assembly.
Featuring a 100mm bore and a 400mm stroke, this unit uses a Ø25 piston rod passing through both end caps. It incorporates adjustable cushions with a 29mm length to decelerate the piston near stroke ends. The body length A(SCD) is 263mm, making the overall retracted length longer than a single-rod SC cylinder of equivalent size. Porting is standard PT1/2.

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.

Provides equal push and pull force for precise alignment and stacking of battery cells during module assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both strokes.
The through-rod allows mounting tooling on both ends to pick and place battery tabs alternately, doubling throughput in tab welding lines.
Acts as a high-force symmetric stopper on conveyor lines, using the rear rod protrusion to trigger external limit sensors without extra brackets.
Select this 100mm bore when your battery handling equipment requires substantial equal bidirectional force (3681N at 0.5 MPa) and a 400mm travel. If your application needs less thrust, stepping down to an 80mm bore provides 2268N at 0.5 MPa. If you do not require rear-side tooling or symmetric force, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC100X400 is a lighter, more compact alternative. For loads requiring strict anti-rotation under heavy side loading, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over a through-rod design.
With a 400mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases, making the cylinder susceptible to rod bending under offset loads. Utilize external guide rails to support the payload and preserve bearing life. When replacing this unit, match the 100mm bore, 400mm stroke, PT1/2 thread, basic mounting, and ensure the magnet option (-S) is present if your application requires CMSG/DMSG sensors.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X400, offering the same 100mm bore, 400mm stroke, and 3681N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load. If battery packs must be held vertically without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve.
