Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X450
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X450 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, 450mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X450
The B06-SCD32X450 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD32X450. Mechanically, it shares identical specifications with the base model, featuring a 32 mm bore and a 450 mm stroke. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is symmetrical, generating an equal push and pull force of 483 N at 0.7 MPa.
This symmetric design is highly beneficial for battery cell stacking and tabbing operations, providing a 12 mm rod on both ends for dual-tooling or rear-mounted stroke sensing. The cylinder incorporates adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends. Note that the overall retracted length relies on the SCD-specific body length A of 187 mm, making the unit longer than a single-rod SC equivalent.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X450 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X450 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø12 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 450 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-SCD32X450 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal 483 N push and pull force to precisely press and align battery cells during module stacking without rotational deflection.
Tabbing Shuttle Transfer
Uses the dual 12 mm rods to mount tooling on both ends, shuttling battery tabs between welding stations with symmetric speed.
Non-Rotating Pushers
The through-rod design offers better guidance than single-rod types, ensuring straight contact when pushing battery packs into test fixtures.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X450 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when your battery handling line requires precise 483 N force in both directions over a 450 mm travel. If your application needs less thrust, stepping down is not an option in this profile, but if you need significantly more force, consider the 40 mm bore which provides 739 N at 0.5 MPa. For tasks that do not require rear-end tooling or equal bidirectional thrust, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder offers a shorter footprint. If precise non-rotating guidance is critical for delicate battery components, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod.
At 450 mm of stroke, the unsupported 12 mm rod extends significantly, increasing the risk of rod bending under side loads. To protect the cylinder in battery module assembly, use an external linear guide to absorb lateral forces. When replacing this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm if a magnet (-S) is needed. This cylinder does not hold its position if air pressure is lost; a mechanical lock or external brake is required for static holding.
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-SCD32X450 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X450, offering the same 32 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, and 483 N equal push/pull force, but is designated for battery cell and pack assembly lines.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (483 N at 0.7 MPa) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It allows mounting tooling or sensors on the rear rod and offers better anti-rotation guidance, which is critical for delicate battery tabbing operations.
