The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X1000S 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.
The B06-SCD40X1000S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD40X1000S double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix designates its use in cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering any physical specs. A 40 mm bore combined with a 1000 mm stroke yields an equal push and pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa, since the Ø16 mm rod extends through both end caps and subtracts area equally on both sides.
Because the piston rod protrudes from both ends, you gain anti-rotation stability and can mount tooling or sensor flags at the rear. This 1000 mm stroke hits the maximum standard limit for a 40 mm bore. It features adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length and a body length A(SCD) of 191 mm. The built-in magnet (S suffix) allows CMSG or DMSG sensors to track position directly on the barrel.

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.
| 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.

Provides equal push and pull force to align and stack battery cells precisely during module assembly, utilizing the rear rod for secondary stopper tooling.
Drives long-travel shuttle mechanisms on battery pack assembly lines, moving heavy trays with symmetric bidirectional speed.
Uses the built-in magnet with barrel sensors to confirm exact 1000 mm extension for tab welding operations, ensuring electrodes meet consistently.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires 528 N of thrust both ways across a long 1000 mm span. If you need less force, stepping down is not an option in the SCD range below 32 mm, but a 32 mm bore provides 345 N. If your battery line demands higher force for heavy pack lifting, consider the 50 mm bore at 825 N. For tasks needing only one-sided pushing, a single-rod SC cylinder saves space and weight.
A 1000 mm stroke creates a long unsupported rod vulnerable to bending under side loads; use external guides or a dedicated guided cylinder to prevent premature seal wear. When replacing this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. Note that the adjustable air cushion only decelerates the piston near stroke end and will not hold a load if air pressure drops.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X1000S, featuring the same 40 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
The double-rod design ensures push and pull forces are identical at 528 N because the 16 mm rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also provides better anti-rotation resistance and allows tooling to be mounted on the rear rod, which a single-rod SC cylinder cannot do.
