Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X150
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X150 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, 150mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X150
The B06-SCD50X150 is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X150. Mechanically identical to the base model, it features a 50 mm bore and 150 mm stroke. Because the Ø20 mm piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is balanced, yielding an identical 825 N of thrust in both directions at 0.5 MPa and 1484 N at 0.9 MPa.
This symmetric force output is ideal for battery cell stacking and tab welding where the return stroke must carry equal tooling weight. The cylinder body length A(SCD) is 207 mm, and it incorporates adjustable cushions with a 21 mm stroke length to decelerate the payload smoothly at both ends. Note that the air cushion only decelerates the piston; it does not lock or hold the load if air pressure is lost.
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X150 Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X150 |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 150 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-SCD50X150 Is Used
Battery Cell Stacking
Provides equal 825 N push and pull force to precisely stack battery cells without asymmetric shifting, ensuring alignment during module assembly.
Shuttle Transfer
Drives dual-sided shuttle tables in tab welding lines, using the rear rod extension to mount a stopper or counterweight for balanced motion.
Non-Rotating Pushers
The through-rod design improves anti-rotation characteristics over single-rod units, keeping electrode pressing tooling perfectly aligned.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X150 the Right Cylinder?
Choose this 50 mm bore when your battery handling line needs exactly 825 N of force both ways to move a cell stack or fixture. If your assembly process requires less force, stepping down to a 40 mm bore provides 528 N each way, whereas a 63 mm bore offers 1402 N for heavier pack manipulation. For applications demanding only one-sided pushing without rear tooling, the standard single-rod AirTAC SC cylinder is a simpler, lighter choice.
When replacing this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and non-magnet configuration exactly. Because the 150 mm stroke creates a moderately long unsupported rod, ensure external guides support the load to prevent rod bending under side loads. If the application involves heavy side loading, a dedicated guided cylinder is recommended over relying solely on the through-rod for support.
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-SCD50X150 FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD50X150. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SCD50X150 double-rod cylinder, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 150 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
A double-rod cylinder provides identical thrust in both directions because the rod area is subtracted from both chambers. This equal force and speed, along with the ability to mount tooling on the rear rod, makes it superior for symmetric battery assembly tasks where a single-rod cylinder would cause unbalanced loading.
