Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000S 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.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000S
The B06-SCD50X1000S is AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated double-rod cylinder, mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X1000S. The B06- prefix simply designates its optimization for cell, module, and pack assembly lines without altering any physical specifications.
Featuring a 50 mm bore and 1000 mm stroke, this double-acting cylinder uses a Ø20 mm piston rod extending through both end caps. This through-rod design delivers identical 825 N push and pull force at 0.5 MPa (1484 N at 0.9 MPa). The built-in magnet (-S) allows CMSG or DMSG sensors to track position along the 1200 mm max standard stroke range, while adjustable 21 mm cushions decelerate the piston at stroke ends.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 1000 mm |
| Rod configuration | Double rod — rod through both caps |
| Acting type | Double acting |
| Port size | PT1/4 |
| Rod thread | M16×1.5 |
| 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 (Ø50mm, double rod)
| 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.

Where the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000S Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Drives symmetrical stacking mechanisms for prismatic battery cells, using the dual rods to maintain parallel pressure and prevent misalignment during electrode layering.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Actuates a 1000 mm transfer cart between welding and testing stations on a battery module line, utilizing the equal push and pull force to move heavy pallets bidirectionally.
Tab Welding Positioner
Positions battery tabs for laser welding with a rear-mounted sensor flag on the through rod, ensuring high-precision placement without rotational deflection.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X1000S the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application requires 825 N of symmetrical force in both directions. If your battery handling line needs less thrust, consider stepping down to a 40 mm bore (528 N at 0.5 MPa). For higher payload demands, a 63 mm bore provides 1402 N. Remember that a single-rod SC cylinder is sufficient if you only need force in one direction and lack rear tooling.
At a 1000 mm stroke, the long unsupported rod is highly susceptible to bending under side loads. For battery stacking or heavy pack shuttling, use an external linear guide to support the load rather than relying on the cylinder bearings alone. To replace this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 1000 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-SCD50X1000S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is an AirTAC cylinder dedicated to battery-manufacturing applications. It is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X1000S, offering the same 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa, 1000 mm stroke, and built-in magnet.
No, the SCD double-rod cylinder relies on live air pressure and will drift if pressure is lost. The adjustable cushions only decelerate the piston near the stroke ends and do not act as a brake. A mechanical lock or external pilot-operated check valve is required to hold a load safely.
