The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X350 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, 350mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD32X350 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD32X350. Mechanically identical to its base model, it features a 32 mm bore and a 350 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. This symmetric thrust is essential for consistent tabbing and stacking motions on cell assembly lines.
A 12 mm diameter rod protrudes from both ends, allowing tooling or a sensor flag to be mounted at the rear while the front executes the primary work. The cylinder body length A(SCD) is 187 mm, and it relies on adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends. Operating pressure ranges from 0.15 to 1.0 MPa, with a speed range of 30-800 mm/s.

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 | 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.

Equal push and pull force ensures precise, symmetric positioning of battery cell layers during the stacking and alignment process.
The through-rod design allows mounting a secondary pickup tool on the rear rod, doubling throughput by actuating two stations in one cycle.
Provides better rod guidance and anti-rotation compared to a single-rod unit, maintaining electrode alignment during battery tab welding.
This 32 mm bore provides 345 N of force at 0.5 MPa. If your battery handling fixture requires less thrust, stepping down is not an option in the SCD standard range below 32, but if you need substantially more power for heavy pack manipulation, consider moving up to the 40 mm bore which outputs 528 N at 0.5 MPa. Choose a single-rod SC cylinder if rear tooling or anti-rotation support is unnecessary for your task. For high side-load conditions, a guided cylinder is superior to relying on the through-rod alone.
With a 350 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is significant; always use an external guide rail to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. Replacement requires an exact match of the 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting, and magnet status. Note that air pressure does not hold the load if the valve is centered or pressure is lost; a mechanical lock or pilot check valve is required for static holding.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X350, featuring the exact same 32 mm bore, 350 mm stroke, 12 mm rod, and force ratings, simply designated for battery industry applications.
The double-rod design provides identical push and pull force (483 N at 0.7 MPa) because the rod area is subtracted from both sides. It also allows rear tooling mounting, offers better anti-rotation characteristics, and symmetrically loads the bearings, which is superior for battery assembly automation.
