The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X50 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, 50mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD32X50 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD32X50 double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix designates its use in cell, module, and pack assembly lines, but mechanically it is identical to the standard SCD32X50. A 12mm piston rod passes through both end caps, yielding identical thrust and retraction forces of 345N at 0.5 MPa.
With a compact 50mm stroke and a body length A of 187mm, this cylinder provides symmetric bearing loading and enhanced anti-rotation characteristics. It features adjustable cushions of 21mm at both ends to decelerate the piston smoothly, reaching up to 621N of thrust at 0.9 MPa. The standard PT1/8 port and TPU seal keep it ready for demanding automated handling tasks.

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.

Applies equal 345N clamping and retraction force to align battery cells during stacking operations, preventing misalignment.
Uses the through-rod design to mount dual tooling for transferring battery tabs between processing stations symmetrically.
Leverages the double-rod guidance to prevent rotation during precise module handling, where a single rod might twist under load.
Choose this 32mm bore when your battery-handling fixture requires equal force both ways (345N at 0.5 MPa) or needs a rear rod for mounting a stopper or sensor flag. If your application requires less force, stepping down is not an option in the SCD range, but if you need substantially more thrust, consider the 40mm bore which provides 528N at 0.5 MPa. For simple unidirectional pushing without rear-rod tooling, a single-rod SC cylinder is more compact.
When replacing this unit, match the 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, PT1/8 thread, basic mounting, and no-magnet configuration exactly. Because the stroke is short, side-load on the rod is minimal, but always ensure external guides carry any heavy battery-module weight rather than relying on the piston rod itself.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing lines. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X50, offering the same 32mm bore, 50mm stroke, and 345N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
Yes, because the 12mm rod extends through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical on both sides. This results in equal push and pull forces of 345N at 0.5 MPa and 621N at 0.9 MPa.
