Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X50S 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.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X50S
The AirTAC B06-SCD32X50S is a double-acting, double-rod pneumatic cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard SCD32X50S, meaning it shares the exact same mechanical architecture without any proprietary alterations. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 483 N at 0.7 MPa (345 N at 0.5 MPa).
Featuring a 32 mm bore and 50 mm stroke, this unit includes a built-in magnet (the S suffix) allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for stroke confirmation. The Ø12 mm rod protrudes from both ends with an M10x1.25 thread, providing symmetric bearing loading and a rear mounting point for secondary tooling or a sensor flag. It uses a PT1/8 port, adjustable cushions of 21 mm, and has a body length A(SCD) of 187 mm.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X50S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X50S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø32 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø12 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 50 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-SCD32X50S Is Used
Cell Shuttle Transfer
Equal push and pull force makes this cylinder ideal for shuttling battery cells between processing stations on a transfer line.
Dual-Side Tabbing
The double-rod design allows tooling to be mounted on both ends, enabling simultaneous dual-side electrode tabbing or positioning.
Non-Rotating Pusher
Symmetric bearing loading from the through-rod provides enhanced anti-rotation characteristics for precise pushing in module stacking.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD32X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 32 mm bore when your battery assembly cell requires compact, equal-thrust motion in both directions, such as a 50 mm transfer or tabbing stroke. If your application demands less force, stepping down is not an option below 32 mm in the SCD range, but if you need significantly more thrust for heavier pack handling, consider the 40 mm bore which provides 528 N at 0.5 MPa. For simple one-way actuation where rear tooling is unnecessary, a single-rod SC cylinder is more cost-effective.
When ordering a replacement, verify five points: the 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the -S magnet option. Note that while the through-rod offers better guidance than a single rod, it is not a substitute for a guided cylinder under high side loads. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.
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-SCD32X50S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD32X50S. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, featuring the same 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, and 483 N equal push/pull force at 0.7 MPa, but is designated for battery industry applications.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force in both directions (483 N here at 0.7 MPa) because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. The through-rod also allows mounting tooling or sensors on the rear end and offers better anti-rotation resistance than a single-rod cylinder.
