Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400 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, 400mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400
The B06-SCD32X400 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD32X400. The prefix indicates an industry-specific application focus without altering the physical specifications. Mechanically, it provides identical performance to the base model.
Featuring a 32 mm bore and a 400 mm stroke, this cylinder uses a 12 mm rod passing through both end caps. This through-rod design ensures equal push and pull forces of 483 N at 0.7 MPa, reaching 621 N at its 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. It includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length and has a body length A(SCD) of 187 mm.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø12 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 400 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-SCD32X400 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force for precise, non-rotating plate movement during prismatic cell stacking operations.
Module Transfer Shuttle
The through-rod design allows mounting a stopper or sensor flag on the rear side to trigger module handling positions.
Tab Welding Press
Symmetric bearing loading ensures stable electrode descent during battery tab welding processes.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when your battery assembly line requires 483 N of thrust in both directions over a 400 mm travel. If your application needs less force, stepping down is not an option within the SCD standard range as 32 mm is the smallest bore. If you require significantly more force, consider the 40 mm bore which provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if rear tooling or symmetric bearing loading is unnecessary.
At 400 mm of stroke, the unsupported 12 mm rod is susceptible to bending under side loads. To prevent premature seal wear or rod damage, use an external guide rail or select a fully guided cylinder for heavy off-center loads. For exact replacements, match the 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting, and lack of a magnet.
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-SCD32X400 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X400, offering the same 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, and 483 N equal push/pull force at 0.7 MPa.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end. It does not lock or hold the load. If your battery handling application must maintain position without live air pressure, you need an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve.
