The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000 is a genuine double-acting DOUBLE-ROD air cylinder: the Ø20mm piston rod extends from BOTH end caps, giving equal effective area — and therefore equal force — in push and pull. Ø50mm bore, 1000mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD50X1000 is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD50X1000 double-rod cylinder, mechanically identical to the standard unit. The B06- prefix simply designates its optimization for battery production lines, changing no physical specifications. It delivers an equal push and pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa, reaching 1484 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa.
Featuring a 20 mm diameter rod protruding from both end caps, this 1000 mm stroke unit provides symmetric bearing loading and enhanced anti-rotation characteristics. The adjustable cushion strokes measure 21 mm, and the body length A(SCD) is 207 mm. Because the rod passes through both ends, the effective pressure area remains identical in both directions.

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.
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 825 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1155 N | 1155 N |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 168 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.

Moves lithium battery cell stacks with equal force in both directions, ensuring precise alignment during the stacking process without momentum drift.
Drives dual-sided shuttle mechanisms on battery module assembly lines, utilizing the rear rod for mounting synchronized tooling or stopper flags.
Actuates battery tab welding fixtures back and forth, leveraging the anti-rotation benefits of the double-rod design to maintain electrode alignment.
This 50 mm bore is an excellent middle-ground choice when 40 mm bore cylinders (providing 528 N at 0.5 MPa) lack the necessary force for moving battery modules, but a larger 63 mm bore (1402 N at 0.5 MPa) would be excessive. If your battery line application only requires single-sided actuation, the standard AirTAC SC single-rod cylinder is a lighter, more compact alternative. For operations demanding precise multi-axis movement without rotation, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod.
When ordering a replacement, verify a 5-point match: 50 mm bore, 1000 mm stroke, PT port thread, basic mounting style, and no built-in magnet. Note that at 1000 mm of stroke, the long unsupported rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads; always utilize external guide rails to support the load and prevent rod damage.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC battery-manufacturing dedicated cylinder. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X1000, offering the same 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, but is specifically designated for battery cell, module, and pack assembly lines.
No, the double-rod design ensures the push and pull forces are identical because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. This SCD50X1000 provides exactly 825 N of force in both directions at 0.5 MPa, and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa.
