The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X225 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, 225mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD40X225 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD40X225. Mechanically, it is identical to the base model, featuring a 40 mm bore and a 225 mm stroke. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 739 N at 0.7 MPa.
This symmetric thrust is ideal for battery cell stacking and tab welding shuttles where reversal must be smooth and balanced. The twin Ø16 mm rods provide enhanced guidance and anti-rotation compared to a single-rod unit, while the adjustable cushions (21 mm) absorb end-of-stroke impact. The body length A(SCD) is 191 mm, and ports are PT1/4.

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.

Applies balanced 739 N clamping at 0.7 MPa from both sides to align and compress battery cells during module assembly.
Uses the through-rod design to carry welding tooling on one end and a sensor flag on the other for precise electrode positioning.
Transfers battery pouches along a conveyor with high anti-rotation stability thanks to the dual Ø16 mm rods.
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application demands exactly 528 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions. If your battery handling line 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). If the mechanism does not need rear-rod tooling or equal bi-directional force, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a lighter, more economical choice. For true side-load resistance in precision guiding, a dedicated guided cylinder surpasses even a double-rod design.
At 225 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length invites bending under lateral loads; use external linear guides to support the payload. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, PT1/4 thread, basic mounting, and lack of a built-in magnet (-S).
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD40X225. It is mechanically identical to the standard double-rod cylinder, offering the same 40 mm bore, 225 mm stroke, and 739 N equal push/pull force at 0.7 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical push and pull force (739 N at 0.7 MPa here) because the rod area is subtracted on both sides. It also offers better rod guidance, anti-rotation properties, and a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensors.
