Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900 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, 900mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900
The B06-SCD40X900 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 SCD40X900. It features a 40mm bore and a 900mm stroke, utilizing a 16mm through-rod that protrudes from both end caps. Because the rod area is subtracted equally on both sides, it generates an identical 528N of thrust and retraction force at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 950N at 0.9 MPa.
This symmetric force output is highly advantageous for battery cell stacking and tabbing operations that require consistent two-sided actuation. The cylinder body length A(SCD) is 191mm, and it incorporates adjustable cushions with a 21mm length to smoothly decelerate the piston at both stroke ends. It uses a PT1/4 port and operates at speeds between 30 and 800 mm/s.

| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø40 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø16 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 900 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-SCD40X900 Is Used
Cell Shuttle Transfer
Drives a dual-ended shuttle mechanism on a battery cell production line, using the equal push and pull force to index products smoothly between processing stations.
Non-Rotating Tabbing Press
Provides a stable, anti-rotation platen for battery tab welding or ultrasonic bonding, where the rear rod extension prevents tooling twist during the 900mm travel.
Module Reject Arm
Actuates a double-sided reject arm on a battery module conveyor, utilizing the through-rod to mount a secondary sensor flag or stopper block at the rear.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40mm bore when your battery handling line needs exactly 528N of force in both directions across a long 900mm travel. If your assembly fixture requires less force, stepping down to a 32mm bore yields 345N each way; if you need substantially more clamping power for module alignment, a 50mm bore provides 825N. A single-rod SC cylinder is preferable if you only need one-sided tooling and want a shorter overall footprint.
At a 900mm stroke, the 16mm through-rod has a significant unsupported length, making it vulnerable to rod bending under lateral loads. For battery pack conveyor indexing or heavy shuttle transfers, always pair this cylinder with an external linear guide to absorb side loads, as the double-rod design provides better anti-rotation than a single rod but cannot replace a true guided cylinder. Direct replacements must match the 40mm bore, 900mm stroke, PT1/4 thread, basic mounting, and lack of a magnetic sensor.
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-SCD40X900 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. Mechanically and dimensionally, it is completely identical to the standard SCD40X900, featuring the same 40mm bore, 900mm stroke, and 739N force at 0.7 MPa.
The double-rod design provides identical 528N push and pull force at 0.5 MPa, which is essential for symmetric two-sided actuation. It also offers better rod guidance and anti-rotation properties, plus a rear rod for mounting secondary tooling or sensor flags.
