The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X125S 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, 125mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.
The B06-SCD50X125S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder engineered for battery manufacturing lines. The B06- prefix designates this as a battery-dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X125S, meaning it shares the exact same physical specifications while being tailored for cell, module, and pack assembly operations. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is identical in both chambers, yielding an equal push and pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa.
This 50 mm bore, 125 mm stroke model features a built-in magnet (the S suffix) allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track piston position along the barrel. It uses a Ø20 mm rod on both ends, PT1/4 ports, and adjustable cushions with a 21 mm length. The double-rod design provides enhanced anti-rotation characteristics and symmetric bearing loading, which is critical for maintaining precision in stacking and tabbing processes. Note that the adjustable cushions decelerate the piston at stroke ends but do not lock the load; a mechanical lock is required if the assembly must hold position without live air pressure.

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.

Related types: SC (single rod), SCJ (adjustable stroke), SCT (multi-position). SCD mounting: Basic, FA, LB, TC, TCM1. Seals: TPU standard / H = Viton / N = NBR. Thread: blank = PT, G = G thread.
Provides equal push and pull force for precisely pressing and aligning battery cells during automated stacking processes without rotational drift.
Drives dual-sided shuttle mechanisms in module assembly lines, using the rear rod extension to mount synchronized tooling or stopper plates.
Uses the built-in magnet with solid-state sensors to confirm exact electrode positioning for battery tab welding, ensuring consistent contact.
Choose this 50 mm bore when an application demands 825 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa. If your battery handling line requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N each way, while a 63 mm bore offers 1402 N for heavier pack manipulation. A single-rod SC cylinder is a better fit if you only need unidirectional work and want a shorter overall body length, as the SCD body length A is 207 mm due to the through-rod design.
For strokes of 125 mm, side-load stress on the protruding rods is moderate, but external guides should still be used if the tooling carries significant off-center weight. To guarantee a direct replacement, verify five details: 50 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting (or an SCD-compatible accessory like F-SC50LB), and the presence of the -S magnetic piston.
Double-rod checklist
The B06- prefix indicates this cylinder is part of AirTAC's battery-manufacturing dedicated line. The B06-SCD50X125S is mechanically identical to the standard SCD50X125S, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 125 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical force (825 N at 0.5 MPa) and speed in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. It also offers better anti-rotation stability and allows tooling to be mounted on the rear rod, which is ideal for battery assembly shuttles and two-sided actuation.
