Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450S 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-SCD40X450S
The B06-SCD40X450S is an AirTAC double-acting double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant; mechanically, it is identical to the standard SCD40X450S. The through-rod design yields exactly 528 N of thrust at 0.5 MPa in both directions, ensuring symmetric force for advancing and retracting tooling.
Featuring a 16 mm rod on both ends and a 450 mm stroke, this unit includes a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors. It uses adjustable cushions of 21 mm and has a body length A(SCD) of 191 mm. The double-rod geometry provides enhanced anti-rotation stability compared to a single rod, which is critical for precise battery cell handling.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD40X450S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force to precisely press and align lithium-ion battery cells during module stacking without rotational drift.
Tab Welding Shuttle
Uses the rear protruding rod to carry a secondary sensor flag, confirming shuttle position for automated tab welding equipment.
Dual-Side Handling
Drives tooling from both ends simultaneously to transfer delicate battery pouches, ensuring balanced loading on the cylinder bearings.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X450S the Right Cylinder?
This 40 mm bore offers 528 N each way at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking fixture requires less force, step down to the 32 mm bore (345 N). If you need higher clamping pressure, the 50 mm bore provides 825 N. For applications demanding extreme side-load rigidity, a dedicated guided cylinder is superior to relying solely on the through-rod.
With a 450 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length increases bending susceptibility; use an external guide rail to prevent premature seal wear. Replacement requires matching the 40 mm bore, 450 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. The cushion decelerates the piston but does not lock the load—add a mechanical brake if position holding without air pressure 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-SCD40X450S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X450S, offering the same 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, 16 mm rods, and built-in magnet.
The double-rod SCD design provides identical 739 N force at 0.7 MPa in both directions and better anti-rotation resistance. The rear rod extension also allows mounting a sensor flag or secondary tooling, which is often required in battery assembly lines.
