Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X250
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X250 is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø12mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø32mm bore, 250mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X250
The B06-SCD32X250 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X250. It features a 32 mm bore and a 250 mm 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 483 N at 0.7 MPa. The Ø12 mm rods protrude from both ends, providing symmetric bearing loading and anti-rotation benefits for precision tasks.
This model is well-suited to cell stacking and tabbing operations in battery assembly lines where dual-tooling or non-rotating actuation is required. It uses a PT1/8 port, features an adjustable cushion length of 21 mm to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends, and has a body length A(SCD) of 187 mm. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X250 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø12 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 250 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT1/8 |
| Rod thread | M10×1.25 |
| 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, 21 mm |
| Max stroke | Up to 1000 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 (Ø32mm, double rod)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 346 N | 346 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 484 N | 484 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 70 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-SCD32X250 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Provides equal 483 N push and pull force to align and press battery cell layers without rotational drift during the stacking process.
Dual-End Shuttle Transfer
Uses both protruding rods to carry tooling on opposite sides, shuttling battery modules between processing stations symmetrically.
Tab Welding Clamp
The anti-rotation characteristic of the double rod ensures the welding clamp face remains perfectly parallel during electrode descent.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X250 the Right Cylinder?
Select this 32 mm bore when your battery-handling fixture requires 483 N of force in both directions and a compact footprint. If your application needs less force, stepping down is not an option within the SCD range, but if you need higher thrust, consider the 40 mm bore which provides 739 N at 0.5 MPa. If you only need one-sided actuation and want to reduce weight, the single-rod SC32X250 is a better fit. For loads with significant side leverage, a proper guided cylinder is recommended over a through rod.
When replacing this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting, and lack of a magnet. The 250 mm stroke is within the 1000 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore. Because the stroke is 250 mm or longer, be mindful of rod bending on the unsupported length; use an external guide rail to prevent premature bearing wear.
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-SCD32X250 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X250, offering the same 32 mm bore, 250 mm stroke, and 483 N equal push/pull force at 0.7 MPa, with no changes to physical specs.
Yes, because the rod occupies volume in both chambers, the push and pull forces are equal rather than differing like a single-rod cylinder. This SCD32X250 model outputs exactly 483 N in both directions at 0.7 MPa. Note that the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston at stroke ends; it does not hold the load if air pressure is lost, which requires an external mechanical lock.
