Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50 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, 50mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50
The B06-SCD40X50 is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard AirTAC SCD40X50 double-acting, double-rod cylinder. The B06- prefix designates its use in cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering the core mechanics. It provides 528 N of equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, stepping up to 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
Because the Ø16 piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical on both sides. This 50 mm stroke unit features a 191 mm body length A(SCD) and adjustable cushions with a 21 mm stroke length. It uses a PT1/4 port and an M12x1.25 rod thread, making it a compact choice for symmetric loading and non-rotating pushers.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 50 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-SCD40X50 Is Used
Cell Stacking Pusher
Drives a non-rotating platen to align and stack battery cells with identical push and pull force for consistent tab height.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Uses both rod ends to shuttle battery modules between stations, carrying a sensor flag on the rear rod for position tracking.
Dual-Side Tab Welding
Applies symmetric clamping pressure from both directions during battery tab welding to prevent cell deformation.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 528 N of force both ways; step down to a 32 mm bore for 345 N, or up to a 50 mm bore for 825 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if rear tooling is unnecessary, while heavy side loads require a true guided cylinder rather than relying on the through rod.
For a direct replacement, match the 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/4 port, basic mounting, and no magnet. The short 50 mm stroke keeps the unsupported rod length minimal, reducing rod bending risks even under fast cycling.
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-SCD40X50 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. Mechanically, it is identical to the standard SCD40X50 double-rod cylinder, offering the same 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa and PT1/4 porting.
No, the push and pull forces are equal at 739 N at 0.7 MPa because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. The true benefit is anti-rotation, symmetric bearing wear, and rear rod tooling, not increased full-bore thrust.
