Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600S 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-SCD40X600S
The B06-SCD40X600S 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 SCD40X600S. The through-rod design yields identical thrust in both directions, providing 528 N of force at 0.5 MPa and 950 N at 0.9 MPa.
Equipped with a built-in magnet (S suffix), this unit supports CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors for stroke positioning. It features a 16 mm rod on both ends, PT1/4 ports, and a 191 mm body length A(SCD). The 600 mm stroke falls within the 1200 mm maximum standard stroke for this bore.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD40X600S Is Used
Battery Cell Shuttle
Moves lithium-ion cells between formation racks with equal push and pull speed, preventing asymmetric cycle wear.
Tab Welding Press
Uses the rear rod extension to mount a secondary stopper flag, ensuring precise electrode alignment during module tabbing.
Module Transfer
Drives a dual-sided pusher plate on the pack assembly line, utilizing the 950 N thrust at 0.9 MPa for reliable indexing.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X600S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires 528 N of symmetrical force at 0.5 MPa. If your battery handling line needs less thrust, the 32 mm bore offers 345 N; for heavier pack manipulation, stepping up to the 50 mm bore provides 825 N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if rear tooling or anti-rotation is unnecessary, while a guided cylinder is advised for heavy off-center loads.
At 600 mm of stroke, the long unsupported rod is susceptible to bending under side loads; utilize external guides or a guided cylinder to manage deflection. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option.
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-SCD40X600S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X600S, offering the same 40 mm bore, 600 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke end. If the battery module must hold its position without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock, rod brake, or pilot-operated check valve is required.
