Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X175S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X175S 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, 175mm stroke, PT1/4 ports and adjustable end cushioning.

About the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X175S
The B06-SCD50X175S is an AirTAC double-acting, double-rod cylinder where the B06- prefix designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the standard SCD50X175S; mechanically, the bore, stroke, and physical specs are identical. Because the piston rod passes through both end caps, the effective area is symmetrical, yielding an equal push and pull force of 825 N at 0.5 MPa and 1484 N of thrust at 0.9 MPa.
This 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke unit features a Ø20 mm rod protruding from both ends, providing enhanced guidance and anti-rotation characteristics ideal for stacking or handling battery cells. The barrel incorporates a built-in magnet (indicated by the S suffix), allowing CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG sensors to track piston position. It uses standard PT1/4 ports and has a 207 mm body length A(SCD).
Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X175S Technical Specifications
| Model | Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X175S |
|---|---|
| Series | SCD double-rod tie-rod cylinder |
| Bore size | Ø50 mm |
| Rod diameter | Ø20 mm (both ends) |
| Stroke | 175 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-SCD50X175S Is Used
Cell Stacking Presses
Provides equal bidirectional force to compress and align battery cell stacks during electrode assembly without rotational drift.
Module Shuttle Transfer
Uses the dual protruding rods to mount opposing tooling that simultaneously pushes and retracts battery modules on a conveyor.
Tab Welding Positioner
The built-in magnet allows precise end-of-stroke sensing for tab welding operations, while the rear rod acts as a stable stopper.
Is the Airtac B06-SCD Battery-Specific Standard Cylinder B06-SCD50X175S the Right Cylinder?
Select this 50 mm bore when an application demands 825 N of symmetrical force in both directions. If your battery assembly 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 preferable if you only need unidirectional work and want a shorter overall footprint, but the SCD is necessary for dual-tooling or non-rotating pushers.
When replacing this unit, match the 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, PT1/4 port thread, basic mounting, and the -S magnet option. For a 175 mm stroke, the unsupported rod length is moderate, but always verify side-load conditions; under heavy off-center loads, use an external guide rail or a dedicated guided cylinder rather than relying solely on the through-rod bearings.
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-SCD50X175S FAQ
The B06- prefix indicates this is a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SCD50X175S. It is mechanically identical to the standard AirTAC SCD50X175S double-rod cylinder, featuring the same 50 mm bore, 175 mm stroke, and 825 N equal push/pull force at 0.5 MPa.
No, the adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends to reduce impact. It does not lock or hold the load. If the battery assembly process must maintain position without live air pressure, an external mechanical lock or pilot-operated check valve is required.
