Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900S 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-SCD40X900S
The B06-SCD40X900S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant, mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X900S. A 40 mm bore working with a 900 mm stroke provides 528 N of equal thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa, enabled by the 16 mm through-rod that exits both end caps.
Because the rod protrudes from both ends, the effective pressure area is identical on extension and retraction. This specific configuration includes a built-in magnet (-S) for mounting CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors along the 191 mm body length A(SCD). The adjustable cushion strokes are 21 mm, decelerating the piston near the end caps without locking the load.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900S |
|---|---|
| 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-SCD40X900S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives symmetric stacking mechanisms for prismatic cell assembly, using the dual-end rod to push and pull cell carriers with equal 528 N force.
Module Transfer Shuttle
Moves battery modules between conveyor lanes, leveraging the through-rod design to mount tooling on both ends for bidirectional part hand-off.
Tab Welding Positioner
Positions battery tabs for laser welding with high anti-rotation stability, while the built-in magnet provides precise end-of-stroke confirmation.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD40X900S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 40 mm bore when an application requires 528 N of symmetrical force at 0.5 MPa. If your battery stacking or handling equipment needs less thrust, the 32 mm bore offers 345 N; if more clamping or lifting power is necessary, stepping up to the 50 mm bore yields 825 N. For tasks needing only one-sided actuation, the single-rod AirTAC SC series is a lighter alternative.
At 900 mm of stroke, the long unsupported through-rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. Employ an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder to support the tooling. To replace this unit, match the 40 mm bore, 900 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-SCD40X900S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD40X900S, offering the same 40 mm bore, 900 mm stroke, and 528 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the 21 mm adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends to prevent impact damage. If the battery assembly process must hold a load without live air pressure, you must use an external mechanical lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
