Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X175
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X175 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, 175mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X175
The B06-SCD40X175 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 SCD40X175. The through-rod design yields perfectly equal push and pull forces, delivering 528 N in each direction at 0.5 MPa and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 40 mm bore unit features a 16 mm piston rod extending from both end caps, symmetrically loading the bearings to enhance anti-rotation resistance for precision battery stacking tasks. It includes adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length and has a retracted body length A(SCD) of 191 mm, which is longer than a single-rod SC equivalent.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X175 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X175 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 175 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-SCD40X175 Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies uniform 528 N clamping force from both directions to align prismatic battery cells precisely during the stacking and binding process.
Shuttle Transfer
Drives a dual-ended transfer carriage for moving battery modules between welding stations, utilizing the equal push/pull speed for stable cycling.
Tab Feeding
Feeds separator sheets or tabs from a rear-mounted tooling bracket on the extending back rod, keeping the front workspace clear for robotic pickers.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X175 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when your battery assembly line needs 528 N of equal thrust both ways to prevent tooling deflection during bidirectional transfer. If your module handling 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). For applications with severe side loads on the 175 mm stroke, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over a through-rod to prevent rod bending.
To source an exact replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration. An external guide or rod brake is required if the assembly must hold a vertical electrode load without live air pressure, as the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston and does not lock it.
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-SCD40X175 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. Mechanically, it is identical to the standard SCD40X175 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 40 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod SCD cylinder provides identical push and pull forces (950 N at 0.9 MPa here) because the 16 mm rod area is subtracted from both chambers. This symmetric force and the extra rear rod for mounting tooling or sensors ensure smoother, non-rotating motion critical for delicate cell handling.
