Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X300
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X300 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, 300mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X300
The B06-SCD40X300 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD40X300 double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix simply designates its optimization for battery production lines (cell stacking, module handling) while retaining the exact physical specs of the base model. It provides 528 N of equal push and pull force at 0.5 MPa, ensuring symmetric thrust for both directions of travel.
Because the Ø16 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, this cylinder yields identical 950 N thrust in either direction at 0.9 MPa. The 300 mm stroke operates at speeds of 30-800 mm/s, and the body features an overall length A(SCD) of 191 mm. Adjustable cushions at both ends provide 21 mm of deceleration to protect your tooling at stroke endpoints.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X300 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X300 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 300 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-SCD40X300 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Equal push and pull force ensures precise, balanced pressure when stacking battery cells, preventing misalignment during the compression and retraction cycle.
Dual-Tool Transfer
The through-rod design allows mounting a gripper on the front and a sensor flag or secondary stopper on the rear, optimizing shuttle transfers on module assembly lines.
Non-Rotating Pushers
Better rod guidance from the double-rod structure minimizes twist during tab welding or handling operations, keeping the end effector stable without needing a separate guide.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X300 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 528 N of thrust both ways and a rear rod for mounting a secondary tool or sensor flag. If your battery line requires less force, dropping to a 32 mm bore yields 345 N each way; if you need to push heavier packs, stepping up to a 50 mm bore provides 825 N. If your application only needs one-sided actuation, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact choice. For high side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is superior to a through rod.
At 300 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases the risk of bending under lateral loads. Use an external guide rail to support the load and preserve bearing life. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic sensor (-S) is required.
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-SCD40X300 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD40X300. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X300 double-rod cylinder, with the same 40 mm bore, 300 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of the stroke; they do not act as a brake. If a battery module load must be held without live air pressure, you must use an external rod brake, mechanical lock, or pilot-operated check valve.
