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.
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.

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.

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.
The through-rod design allows tooling to be mounted on both ends for simultaneous double-sided electrode tab welding, maintaining alignment without rod rotation.
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.
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
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.
