Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500S 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-SCD32X500S
The B06-SCD32X500S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X500S. It features a 32mm bore and a 500mm stroke, yielding an equal push and pull force of 345N at 0.5 MPa because the 12mm piston rod passes through both end caps, subtracting the rod area on both sides.
Because this model includes the -S suffix, it has a built-in magnet allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track position along the 187mm body length A(SCD). It uses PT1/8 ports and adjustable cushions with a 21mm cushion length to manage end-of-stroke deceleration on battery assembly lines.

| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD32X500S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force to precisely press and align battery cells during module stacking without rotational drift.
Tabbing Shuttle Transfer
The through-rod design allows mounting a secondary tooling stopper on the rear rod to synchronize shuttle movements in tabbing equipment.
Pack Line Position Sensing
The built-in magnet enables CMSG or DMSG sensors to confirm exact 500mm stroke endpoints for safe pack assembly operations.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X500S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32mm bore when you need symmetric 345N force in both directions for battery cell handling or tabbing. If your module assembly requires higher thrust, stepping up to the 40mm bore raises the output to 528N at 0.5 MPa. If you do not need rear-rod tooling or anti-rotation, a standard single-rod SC cylinder saves space and cost. For heavy side loads on the 500mm stroke, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying on the through-rod guidance.
Replacement matching requires five points: 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the built-in magnet (-S). Note that the 500mm stroke is the maximum standard stroke for a 32mm bore. At this length, the unsupported rod is prone to bending under side loads; always use external guides or a linear rail to support the load and 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-SCD32X500S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD32X500S, offering the same 32mm bore, 500mm stroke, and 345N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, but is designated for battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (345N at 0.5 MPa here) because the 12mm rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better anti-rotation characteristics and allows tooling or sensors to be mounted on the rear rod, which is ideal for battery manufacturing transfer and pressing tasks.
