Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X50S 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, 50mm stroke, PT1/2 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X50S
The B06-SCD100X50S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD100X50S. Mechanically, it is identical to the base model, featuring a 100mm bore and a 50mm stroke. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 3681 N at 0.5 MPa.
This symmetric design is highly valued in cell and module assembly for driving dual-tooling stations or non-rotating pushers. The cylinder features a Ø25mm rod protruding from both ends, PT1/2 ports, and an adjustable cushion length of 29mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends. The built-in magnet (indicated by the S suffix) allows CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for precise position feedback on automated lines.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X50S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X50S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø100 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø25 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 50 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-SCD100X50S Is Used
Cell Shuttle Transfer
Equal push and pull thrust makes this cylinder ideal for horizontally shuttling battery cells between processing stations, ensuring consistent speed and force in both directions.
Dual-Side Tab Welding
The through-rod design allows tooling to be mounted on both ends for simultaneous double-sided electrode tab welding, maintaining alignment without rod rotation.
Module Positioning Pusher
Provides high non-rotating push and pull force (up to 6626 N at 0.9 MPa) to index heavy battery modules into precise stacking or packaging fixtures.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD100X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 100mm bore when your battery handling equipment requires substantial equal bidirectional thrust (3681 N at 0.5 MPa, or 6626 N at 0.9 MPa) over a compact 50mm stroke. If your application only needs force in one direction, a single-rod SC cylinder of the same bore would be a lighter, more economical choice. If the mechanism experiences high side loads from heavy battery packs, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over a through-rod design, as the double rod provides better anti-rotation than a single rod but cannot replace true linear guides.
When replacing this unit, ensure a 5-point match: 100mm bore, 50mm stroke, PT1/2 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S). The adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of travel; they do not lock or hold the load. If the battery assembly fixture must maintain its position without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve must be fitted.
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-SCD100X50S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD100X50S, offering the same 100mm bore, 50mm stroke, and 3681 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, with no changes to physical dimensions or specifications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force and speed in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers a rear rod for mounting a stopper, sensor flag, or secondary tooling, and provides better anti-rotation resistance than a single-rod cylinder.
