Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X400
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.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X400
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.

| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X400 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø25 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 400 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT1/2 |
| Rod thread | M20×1.5 |
| Fluid | Air (filtered by 40µm element) |
|---|---|
| Operating pressure | 0.15 – 1.0 MPa |
| Proof pressure | 1.5 MPa |
| Temperature | -20 to +70 °C |
| Speed range | 30 – 800 mm/s |
| Cushion | Adjustable, 29 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1500 mm |
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.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø100mm, double rod)
| 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X400 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force for precise alignment and stacking of battery cells during module assembly, ensuring consistent pressure on both strokes.
Dual-Tool Shuttle Transfer
The through-rod allows mounting tooling on both ends to pick and place battery tabs alternately, doubling throughput in tab welding lines.
Pack Handling Stopper
Acts as a high-force symmetric stopper on conveyor lines, using the rear rod protrusion to trigger external limit sensors without extra brackets.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X400 the Right Cylinder?
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
- ✓ Need equal force / speed both directions?
- ✓ Rear rod for tooling, stopper or sensor flag?
- ✓ Better rod guidance / anti-rotation?
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Keep BOTH rod ends clear of side load and interference.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use SCD mounting accessory (FA / LB / TC / TCM1).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X400 FAQ
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.
