Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100S 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-SCD40X100S
The B06-SCD40X100S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing environments. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant of the standard SCD40X100S, meaning it shares the exact same mechanical footprint and specifications while being tailored for cell, module, and pack assembly lines. Because the Ø16 rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding 528 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnet (the S suffix) so CMSG or DMSG sensors can clamp directly onto the barrel for precise end-of-stroke detection. With adjustable cushions providing 21 mm of deceleration at each end, it protects sensitive battery handling tooling from impact. The body length A(SCD) is 191 mm, and it uses PT1/4 ports with M12x1.25 rod threads.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD40X100S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force for pressing and aligning battery cells during module stacking, ensuring consistent pressure without rotational drift.
Dual-Sided Transfer
The through-rod allows mounting a secondary gripper or stopper on the opposite end, enabling compact shuttle transfers between welding stations on a pack assembly line.
Tab Welding Positioning
The integrated magnet supports precise position feedback via barrel-mounted sensors, crucial for verifying electrode alignment before tab welding.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X100S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when your battery stacking or transfer station needs 528 N of symmetric thrust at 0.5 MPa without rotational play. If your application requires less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore provides 345 N each way, while moving up to a 50 mm bore offers 825 N. If you do not need tooling or a sensor flag on the rear side, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder saves space and cost. Similarly, if the mechanism experiences high lateral loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying on the through-rod for guidance.
To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the built-in magnet (-S). The SCD series uses a tie-rod construction and accepts a specific subset of SC mounting accessories (FA, LB, TC, TCM1), but does not offer FB flange or CA/CB clevis options.
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-SCD40X100S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this cylinder is part of AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line. Mechanically, the B06-SCD40X100S is identical to the standard SCD40X100S, offering the same 40 mm bore, 100 mm stroke, and 739 N force at 0.7 MPa, but is specified for battery cell and pack assembly applications.
Yes, because the rod occupies space on both sides of the piston, the push and pull forces are equal rather than different. This model outputs 528 N in both directions at 0.5 MPa and 950 N at 0.9 MPa. Note that the air cushions only decelerate the piston at stroke ends; they do not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.
