Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450 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, 450mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450
The B06-SCD40X450 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 SCD40X450. Because the Ø16 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 highly advantageous for battery cell stacking and tabbing operations that require consistent force in both directions.
With a 450 mm stroke, this unit provides extended travel for module handling or shuttle transfers. It features a PT1/4 port, a 21 mm adjustable cushion at each end to decelerate the piston smoothly, and a body length A(SCD) of 191 mm. The through-rod design also improves bearing load distribution and offers a rear extension for mounting a sensor flag or secondary tooling.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 450 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-SCD40X450 Is Used
Cell Shuttle Transfer
Equal push and pull force makes this cylinder ideal for moving battery cells back and forth between processing stations on a transfer line.
Module Stacking Press
The through-rod design ensures symmetric bearing loading during vertical stacking of battery modules, preventing uneven wear during continuous cycling.
Non-Rotating Tab Alignment
Dual rod guidance provides better resistance to twist than a single rod, helping maintain precise alignment when positioning battery tabs for welding.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application demands 739 N of thrust both ways at 0.7 MPa; if less force is needed, stepping down to a 32 mm bore provides 483 N, while a 50 mm bore offers 1154 N for heavier pack manipulation. If the rear rod extension is unnecessary, a standard single-rod SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact alternative. For high side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod.
At 450 mm of travel, the unsupported rod length increases susceptibility to bending under lateral loads; use external guides to support the payload. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration exactly.
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-SCD40X450 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD40X450. It is mechanically identical to the standard model, offering the same 739 N equal push/pull force at 0.7 MPa, but is designated for battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force in both directions since the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers a rear rod for mounting a sensor flag or secondary tooling, and distributes side loads more evenly across the bearings, which is critical for long-stroke applications.
