Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100 is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø16mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø40mm bore, 100mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100
The B06-SCD40X100 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 SCD40X100. The through-rod design yields identical thrust and retraction forces, outputting 528 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. This symmetry is essential for battery cell stacking and tabbing operations that require consistent, non-rotating pressure from both faces.
Built with a 16 mm rod on both ends and PT1/4 ports, this unit features adjustable cushions with a 21 mm stroke length to dampen end-of-travel impacts. The overall retracted length relies on the SCD-specific body length A of 191 mm, making it longer than a single-rod SC equivalent. It operates on filtered air at 30-800 mm/s within a -20 to +70 C temperature range.

|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 100 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod thread | M12×1.25 |
| 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 1200 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 (Ø40mm, double rod)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 528 N | 528 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 739 N | 739 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 108 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-SCD40X100 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies uniform 528 N clamping force from both rod ends to align and stack battery cells without skewing.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Uses the dual protruding rods to shuttle battery modules between assembly stations with equal push and pull speed.
Tab Welding Clamp
Provides a non-rotating, anti-twist clamping surface for securing battery tabs during ultrasonic welding.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when your battery handling fixture needs 528 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. If your module alignment task requires less energy, step down to the 32 mm bore (345 N each way). For heavier pack manipulation demanding more thrust, step up to the 50 mm bore (825 N). A single-rod SC cylinder suffices if you only need tooling on one side, but a proper guided cylinder is recommended for heavy side loads.
When replacing this unit, verify five points: the 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting style, and absence of a magnetic sensor ring. Since the stroke is 100 mm, side-load bending on the unsupported rod is moderate; use external guides to prevent binding in precision battery assembly jigs.
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-SCD40X100 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing lines. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X100, offering the same 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides equal force and speed in both directions (528 N each way at 0.5 MPa here) and offers better anti-rotation resistance. The rear rod allows mounting secondary tooling or a sensor flag, which is ideal for synchronous battery handling and pressing tasks.
