Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X1000
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X1000 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, 1000mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X1000
The B06-SCD40X1000 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 SCD40X1000. The through-rod design yields identical thrust in both directions, outputting 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
Featuring a 16 mm rod on both ends and PT1/4 ports, this unit is built for 1000 mm of travel. It includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to manage end-of-stroke deceleration. The overall retracted length relies on the SCD body length A of 191 mm, making it longer than a single-rod SC equivalent.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X1000 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X1000 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 1000 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-SCD40X1000 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force to precisely stack battery cells without rotational drift during the compression and alignment process.
Module Transfer Shuttle
The through-rod allows mounting tooling on both ends to shuttle battery modules between assembly stations symmetrically.
Tab Welding Positioner
Holds battery tabs in place for welding operations, using the rear rod extension to mount a stroke-end sensor flag.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X1000 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 528 N of symmetric force for battery cell handling or shuttle tasks. If your module assembly requires less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (345 N at 0.5 MPa); for heavier pack manipulation, step up to the 50 mm bore (825 N at 0.5 MPa). A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need one-sided actuation and want a shorter footprint.
At 1000 mm of stroke, the long unsupported rod is vulnerable to bending under side loads. Use external guide rails or a dedicated guided cylinder to support the tooling. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic sensor ring (-S) is needed.
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-SCD40X1000 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD40X1000. It is mechanically identical to the base model, offering the same 528 N equal push/pull force, PT1/4 ports, and 1000 mm stroke.
No. The 21 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends. If air pressure is lost, the cylinder will drift. A mechanical lock or external rod brake is required to hold a load safely without live pressure.
