Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500 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, 500mm stroke, PT1/8 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500
The B06-SCD32X500 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD32X500 double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix denotes an industry-specific designation for cell and pack assembly lines, with mechanical specs remaining identical to the base model. This double-acting, through-rod design delivers an equal push and pull force of 483 N at 0.7 MPa, ensuring symmetric movement for shuttle applications.
Featuring a 12 mm rod protruding from both end caps, this 500 mm stroke unit provides enhanced anti-rotation stability and allows tooling to mount on the rear side. The effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding a maximum 0.9 MPa thrust of 621 N. It includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø12 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 500 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-SCD32X500 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Synchronizes dual-sided pushers to align and stack battery cells precisely without rotational drift during the compression process.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Drives a transfer cart on a battery module assembly line, using the equal push and pull force to maintain consistent cycle times in both directions.
Tab Welding Clamp
Mounts welding tooling on the front rod and a sensor flag on the rear rod to verify position, leveraging the through-rod design for compact integration.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore if your battery handling system requires 483 N of force in both directions and a 500 mm travel. If your application needs less force, stepping down is not an option in this series, but stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 739 N at 0.5 MPa. For single-direction tasks without the need for rear tooling, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact alternative.
When replacing this unit, match the 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration. Because this is a 500 mm stroke cylinder, the long unsupported piston rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; use an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder to prevent rod damage.
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-SCD32X500 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X500, featuring the same 32 mm bore, 500 mm stroke, and 483 N equal push/pull force at 0.7 MPa, but is designated for battery industry applications.
No, the 21 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends and does not act as a brake or locking mechanism. If the assembly line must hold a load without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
