Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400S 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-SCD32X400S
The B06-SCD32X400S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD32X400S double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix denotes its deployment on cell, module, and pack assembly lines, but mechanically it is identical to the standard model. It features a 32 mm bore, a 400 mm stroke, and a built-in magnet (-S) for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor tracking along the barrel.
Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers. This yields an equal push and pull force of 345 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 621 N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. The Ø12 mm rod protrudes from both ends, providing symmetric bearing loading and a rear extension for mounting secondary tooling or stopper flags on battery handling shuttles.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD32X400S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives symmetric stacking mechanisms for prismatic cell assembly, using the dual rods to prevent tooling rotation during the 400 mm transfer.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Moves battery modules between welding stations, utilizing the equal push and pull force to maintain consistent timing in both directions.
Tab Welding Positioning
Uses the built-in magnet with DMSG sensors to confirm exact 400 mm stroke endpoints for precise tab alignment before ultrasonic welding.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X400S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when your battery stacking or transfer station needs symmetric 345 N force both ways over a 400 mm travel. If your application requires less reach, stepping down to a shorter stroke reduces the unsupported rod length; if you need higher actuation force, the 40 mm bore offers 528 N at 0.5 MPa. For tasks demanding only one-sided pushing, the single-rod AirTAC SC series is simpler and lighter.
At 400 mm, the unsupported rod length is significant; under side loads the dual rods provide better guidance than a single rod but cannot replace a true guided cylinder. Always use external linear guides for heavy battery cell tooling. To replace this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. Note that air pressure loss will cause the payload to drift, as the adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends and do not lock the load.
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-SCD32X400S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X400S double-rod cylinder, featuring the same 32 mm bore, 400 mm stroke, and 345 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull force (345 N each way at 0.5 MPa here) and better anti-rotation characteristics. The through-rod design allows you to mount tooling or sensors on both ends, which is ideal for compact battery cell transfer shuttles where space is limited.
