Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X150S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X150S 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, 150mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X150S
The B06-SCD40X150S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the SCD40X150S, retaining exact mechanical parity with the base model. Because the Ø16 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull thrust of 528 N at 0.5 MPa (739 N at 0.7 MPa).
This 150 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnet (the S suffix), enabling CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to clamp directly onto the barrel for end-of-stroke signaling in cell stacking or module handling tasks. It uses a PT1/4 port, includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm stroke length to decelerate impacts, and carries a retracted body length A(SCD) of 191 mm.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X150S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X150S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 150 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-SCD40X150S Is Used
Cell Shuttle Transfer
Equal push and pull force makes it ideal for transferring battery cells symmetrically between conveyor stations without needing to reposition tooling.
Tab Welding Clamp
The rear rod extension can mount a mechanical stopper or sensor flag, ensuring precise positioning during battery tab ultrasonic welding.
Module Alignment
Double-rod guidance provides anti-rotation stability for aligning battery modules during pack assembly, keeping clamping surfaces perfectly parallel.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X150S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires 528 N of symmetrical force in both directions, such as shuttling battery tabs or aligning separator sheets. If your assembly fixture needs less thrust, 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 unidirectional output and want a shorter overall footprint, while a guided cylinder is mandatory for absorbing high lateral loads without rod bending.
To replace this unit, match five points: 40 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (no bracket), and the built-in magnet. Note that while the through rod provides better anti-rotation support than a single rod, it is not a substitute for a true guided cylinder under significant side loading.
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-SCD40X150S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this cylinder is part of AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line. The B06-SCD40X150S is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X150S, featuring the same 40 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No. The 21 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to reduce impact. It does not lock or hold the load. If a battery module must remain fixed without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
