Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700 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, 700mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700
The B06-SCD40X700 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 SCD40X700. Because the Ø16mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 528N at 0.5 MPa and 950N at the 0.9 MPa maximum operating pressure. This symmetric thrust is essential for battery cell stacking and tabbing operations that require consistent force in both advance and retract strokes.
With a 700mm stroke, this model provides extended travel for module handling or conveyor transfer tasks on battery assembly lines. It features adjustable cushions with a 21mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends, protecting sensitive lithium-ion components from impact shocks. The body length A(SCD) is 191mm, and fluid must be filtered to 40 um.

| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 700 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-SCD40X700 Is Used
Cell Shuttle Transfer
Equal push and pull force allows precise bidirectional shuttling of battery cells between welding and inspection stations.
Module Stacking
The through-rod design carries a rear stopper flag to maintain symmetric, non-rotating pressure during delicate electrode stacking.
Pack Handling
Provides extended 700mm travel to push heavy battery packs onto outbound conveyors with smooth end-of-stroke deceleration.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore when your battery line needs balanced 528N thrust both ways; step down to a 32mm bore (345N at 0.5 MPa) for lighter sensor pick-and-place, or up to a 50mm bore (825N at 0.5 MPa) for heavier pack manipulation. If your application only requires force in one direction, a single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is more compact and cost-effective. For true non-rotating precision under high side loads, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over a through-rod design.
At 700mm of stroke, the unsupported rod length increases the risk of bending under lateral loads; use external guide rails to support the payload. To replace this unit, match the 40mm bore, 700mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and ensure no -S magnet is required. Note that air pressure alone cannot hold a load if supply is lost—an external rod brake or pilot-operated check valve is required for vertical positioning.
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-SCD40X700 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X700, offering the same 40mm bore, 700mm stroke, and 950N thrust at 0.9 MPa, but is specified for battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical 528N push and pull force at 0.5 MPa because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. This symmetric thrust, combined with better rod guidance and anti-rotation from the through-rod, is critical for precise tabbing and stacking tasks where single-rod cylinders would produce uneven force.
