Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700S 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-SCD40X700S
The B06-SCD40X700S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder built for battery-manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-dedicated variant of the SCD40X700S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the standard model. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both directions, yielding an equal push and pull force of 528 N at 0.5 MPa. The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG or DMSG sensors to track position along the 700 mm stroke.
This 40 mm bore unit features a Ø16 mm rod protruding from both ends and uses PT1/4 ports. It incorporates adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length to decelerate the piston smoothly at stroke ends. The overall retracted length is based on the SCD body length A of 191 mm, which is longer than a single-rod SC cylinder of the same bore. At a maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, it generates 950 N of thrust in either direction.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| 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-SCD40X700S Is Used
Battery Cell Shuttle
Moves battery cells between testing stations with equal push and pull force, ensuring consistent indexing speed over the 700 mm travel.
Tab Welding Clamp
Uses the through-rod design to carry welding tooling on one end and a sensor flag on the other for precise tab alignment during module assembly.
Pack Transfer Stopper
Acts as a dual-sided stopper on a conveyor, utilizing the symmetric rod protrusion to halt and release battery packs without rotational play.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X700S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore double-rod cylinder when a battery-assembly process requires equal force both ways, such as a 700 mm shuttle stroke. If your application needs less force, stepping down to a 32 mm bore provides 345 N at 0.5 MPa. If higher thrust is required, a 50 mm bore offers 825 N. If you do not need rear-side tooling or symmetric bearing loading, a standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a lighter, more compact alternative.
Because this model has a 700 mm stroke, the unsupported length of the twin rods is significant. Avoid using the rod ends to absorb heavy lateral loads; use an external linear guide or a dedicated guided cylinder to prevent rod bending and premature bearing wear. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option exactly.
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-SCD40X700S FAQ
The B06- prefix designates this as a cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. The B06-SCD40X700S is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X700S, offering the same 40 mm bore, 700 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No. The adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the end of the stroke; it does not lock or hold the load. If a battery assembly fixture must remain in position without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock, a rod brake, or a pilot-operated check valve.
