Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600 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, 600mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600
The B06-SCD40X600 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder built for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-industry dedicated variant of the standard SCD40X600, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model. Because the Ø16 piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is equal in both chambers, yielding an identical 528 N of thrust and pull force at 0.5 MPa.
With a 600 mm stroke, this unit provides extended travel for cell stacking or module transfer. The through-rod design improves bearing load distribution and offers anti-rotation benefits over a standard single-rod unit. It features adjustable cushions at both ends (21 mm cushion length) to decelerate the piston smoothly, and its retracted body length is based on the SCD A-dimension of 191 mm, which is longer than a comparable single-rod SC cylinder.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 600 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-SCD40X600 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal push and pull force to precisely stack battery cells, using the rear rod for synchronous mechanical linking.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Drives long-travel shuttle tables in battery module assembly, utilizing the through-rod for symmetric bearing loading.
Non-Rotating Tab Welding
Clamps battery tabs for welding with high repeatability; the double-rod design resists torsion better than single-rod alternatives.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600 the Right Cylinder?
This 40 mm bore is a solid middle ground when 32 mm lacks thrust but 50 mm is physically too large. If your battery assembly process only requires force in one direction and standard ejection, a single-rod SC40X600 saves space and cost. However, if your application involves dual-tooling or a rear-mounted sensor flag, this double-rod configuration is necessary. For exact replacements, match the 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and confirm whether a magnetic piston (-S) is required.
At 600 mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases significantly. Avoid excessive side loads that could bend the rod or wear the seals; if the mechanism cannot guarantee pure axial loading, pair this cylinder with an external linear guide or select a dedicated guided cylinder instead.
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-SCD40X600 FAQ
The B06- prefix designates this as a cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. Mechanically and dimensionally, it is identical to the standard AirTAC SCD40X600, offering the same 528 N equal push/pull force and 600 mm stroke.
No, the adjustable air cushions only decelerate the piston near the end of the stroke to prevent impact damage. If your battery assembly process must hold a load vertically or without constant air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve.
