Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50S 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-SCD40X50S
The B06-SCD40X50S 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 SCD40X50S. Because the Ø16 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective pressure area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
This 50 mm stroke unit features a built-in magnet for CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor tracking along the 191 mm body length A(SCD). The symmetric through-rod design is highly valued on cell stacking and module handling lines for carrying dual tooling or providing anti-rotation guidance without needing a separate guided unit.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD40X50S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal force and non-rotating dual-end actuation for precisely pressing and aligning prismatic cells during module stacking.
Tab Welding Shuttle
The through-rod allows mounting a welding head on one end and a sensor flag on the other, ensuring symmetric movement for tab joining.
Pack Transfer Pusher
Delivers 528 N at 0.5 MPa to shuttle battery packs between conveyors, using the rear rod for a mechanical stopper.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X50S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when you need 739 N of thrust both ways at 0.7 MPa; step down to a 32 mm bore if 483 N suffices, or up to a 50 mm bore for 1154 N. If your battery line application only requires force in one direction and lacks side load, a single-rod SC cylinder saves space, while heavy offset 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 thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet. The 50 mm stroke keeps the unsupported rod short, minimizing bending, but always verify end-of-stroke impact loads when cycling rapidly.
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-SCD40X50S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X50S, offering the same 40 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, and 739 N force at 0.7 MPa, simply designated for battery industry applications.
The double-rod design provides identical push and pull forces of 528 N at 0.5 MPa, better rod guidance to resist rotation, and a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensors. A single-rod SC cylinder is only preferable if you need one-way actuation and want to save mounting length.
